TL;DR
SAFIRES is a comprehensive archival survey that refines and catalogs far-infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, covering 180 square degrees and nearly 40,000 extragalactic sources in two wavelength bands.
Contribution
It provides the first large, refined, and publicly available far-infrared data set from Spitzer's cryogenic mission for extragalactic research.
Findings
Produced refined mosaics and source lists for 180 sq. degrees
Cataloged nearly 40,000 extragalactic point sources
Covered two far-infrared bands at 70 and 160 micrometers
Abstract
We present the Spitzer Archival Far-InfraRed Extragalactic Survey (SAFIRES). This program produces refined mosaics and source lists for all far-infrared extragalactic data taken during the more than six years of the cryogenic operation of the Spitzer Space Telescope. The SAFIRES products consist of far-infrared data in two wavelength bands (70 um and 160 um) across approximately 180 square degrees of sky, with source lists containing far-infrared fluxes for almost 40,000 extragalactic point sources. Thus, SAFIRES provides a large, robust archival far-infrared data set suitable for many scientific goals.
