The Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) Multi-Cycle Treasury program (PI: Marc Postman) completed its Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multiwavelength obsrvations of 25 massive galaxy clusters in 2013 (Postman et al. 2012 describes the full survey). The full HST dataset and associated catalogs and gravitational lens models are available at MAST. A series or programs with Spitzer have covered all CLASH galaxy clusters with IRAC Channels 1 and 2. Several of the targets include Channels 3 and 4 data.

The international COSMOS (Cosmic Evolution) survey (Scoville et al. 2007, ApJS, 172, 1) is a panchromatic imaging and spectroscopic survey of a 1.4 degree by 1.4 degree field designed to probe galaxy and SMBH (supermassive black hole) evolution as a function of cosmic environment. One major aspect of the COSMOS survey is the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Treasury Project (Scoville et al. 2007, ApJS, 172, 38), entailing the largest ever allocation of HST telescope time. The equatorial location of the COSMOS field offers the critical advantage of allowing major observatories from both hemispheres to join forces in this endeavor. State-of-the-art imaging data at all wavelengths (X-ray to centimeter, plus large optical spectroscopic campaigns using the VLT VIMOS and the Magellan IMACS instruments (Lilly et al. 2007; Impey et al. 2007; Trump et al. 2007) have been or are currently being obtained for the COSMOS field. These make the COSMOS field an excellent resource for observational cosmology and galaxy evolution in the important redshift range z ~ 0.5 - 3, a time span covering ~ 75% of the lifetime of the universe. The VLA-COSMOS Large Project produced a catalog of 3643 radio sources found in the 2 square degrees COSMOS field at 1.4 GHz with a signal-to-noise threshold S/N >= 4.5. The observations in the VLA A and C configurations resulted in a resolution of 1.5" by 1.4" and a mean rms noise of ~ 10.5 µJy (µJy) beam^-1 in the central 1 deg², and of 15 uJy in the 2 deg² field. Eighty radio sources are clearly extended consisting of multiple components, and most of them appear to be double-lobed radio galaxies. The astrometry of the catalog has been thoroughly tested, and the uncertainty in the relative and absolute astrometry are 130 and < 55 mas, respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2007 based on the electronic version of Table 3 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site.

The SAGE-SMC pro ject is a Cycle 4 legacy program on the Spitzer Space Telescope, entitled, SAGE-SMC: Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally-Disrupted, Low-Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud, with Karl Gordon (STScI) as the PI. The project overview and initial results are described in a paper by Gordon et al. (2010, in prep). The SMC was mapped at two different epochs dubbed Epochs 1 and 2 separated by 3 (IRAC) and 9 (MIPS) months, as this provides a 90-degree roll angle in the orientation of the detectors, which optimally removes the striping artifacts in MIPS and artifacts along columns and rows in the IRAC image data. In addition, these two epochs are useful constraints of source variability expected for evolved stars and some young stellar ob jects (YSOs). The IRAC and MIPS observations from the S3MC pathfinder survey of the inner 3 sq. deg. of the SMC (PI: Bolatto, referred to as Epoch 0) have been reduced using the same software. To be included in each single epoch catalog, each 24 um source has to meet a number of criteria. The source had to be nearly point like with a correlation value >0.89. This removed approximately 2/3 of the entries in the single epoch source lists. In regions where there is a significant structure in the surrounding region (identified as having a sigma > 0.25 in a 120" width square box), the source had to have a correlation value >0.91. This requirement removed a small number of sources (70). Finally, all sources had to have signal-to-noise (S/N) values >5. The S/N used was that estimated from the StarFinder code using the mosaic uncertainty image added in quadrature with an 0.6% error due to the background subtraction. This removed 700 sources. The final Epoch 1 catalog likely has a few remaining unreliable sources, estimated to be at less than the 1% level. The Full List contains ALL sources extracted from the MIPS 24 um mosaics, thus a user should be aware that it contains spurious sources. For more details, see Section 4.1 of the SAGE-SMC Data Delivery Document.
