# CANDELS Multiwavelength Catalogs: Source Identification and Photometry in the CANDELS Extended Groth Strip

## TL;DR

This paper presents a comprehensive multi-wavelength photometric catalog for the Extended Groth Strip, combining data from multiple telescopes and surveys to facilitate galaxy studies.

## Contribution

It provides a large, deep, multi-band catalog with photometry, redshifts, and stellar masses, integrating data from HST, CFHT, Mayall, and Spitzer for the EGS field.

## Key findings

- Catalog includes 41,457 objects over 206 arcmin².
- Photometry spans from ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths.
- Provides publicly accessible data with redshifts and stellar masses.

## Abstract

We present a 0.4-8$\mu$m multi-wavelength photometric catalog in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) field. This catalog is built on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 and ACS data from the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), and it incorporates the existing HST data from the All-wavelength Extended Groth strip International Survey (AEGIS) and the 3D-HST program. The catalog is based on detections in the F160W band reaching a depth of F160W=26.62 AB (90% completeness, point-sources). It includes the photometry for 41457 objects over an area of $\approx 206$ arcmin$^2$ in the following bands: HST ACS F606W and F814W; HST WFC3 F125W, F140W and F160W; CFHT/Megacam $u^*$, $g'$, $r'$, $i'$ and $z'$; CFHT/WIRCAM $J$, $H$ and $K_\mathrm{S}$; Mayall/NEWFIRM $J1$, $J2$, $J3$, $H1$, $H2$, $K$; Spitzer IRAC $3.6\mu$m, $4.5\mu$m, $5.8\mu$m and $8.0\mu$m. We are also releasing value-added catalogs that provide robust photometric redshifts and stellar mass measurements. The catalogs are publicly available through the CANDELS repository.
