MUSYC Public Data Release

July 1, 2007

UBVRIzJHK+NB5000 images and catalogs of the
Extended CDF-S, SDSS1030+05, CW1255+01 and Extended HDF-S fields

The table below gives catalog name, corresponding directory and 5 sigma point source detection depths in AB magnitudes for each band included. Each catalog covers roughly 30'x30' except for "deep" catalogs which cover roughly 10'x10'. Clicking on the directory will bring up a file listing. The linked directory includes the catalog, a gzipped version of the catalog for faster download, corresponding images as described in the catalog header, a .readme file with additional details, an SEfiles sub-directory including the SExtractor .sex, .param, and .conv files used in dual-image mode to construct the catalog, and a filters sub-directory containing the corresponding total filter curves (filter*atmosphere*QE). When multiple catalogs were created using the same images, they have been placed in a single directory to avoid duplicating the images. "conv" refers to PSF-matching being performed before both detection and photometry for the "wide" NIR-selected catalogs. "NBdet" and "o3" refer to detection and photometry using the NB5000 narrow-band image, respectively. "BVR" refers to our combined B+V+R images used to detect the optical catalogs. The one inactive directory link will be updated in early 2008. The reference for each catalog is listed in the final column; please check these for full descriptions of the data reduction and use them to give credit to the people whose hard work created these data products. The overall MUSYC survey design is described in Gawiser et al. 2006, ApJS 162, 1. We suggest you contact the lead author(s) of the listed reference with questions about a particular catalog or image set, or for general questions about MUSYC or this data release please email gawiser at physics.rutgers.edu or pieter.vandokkum at yale.edu .

Previous public release of deep UBVRIz images and catalog of the 33'x34.5' Extended HDF-S and deep NB5000A images of E-CDFS, SDSS1030+05 and CW1255+01

Superceded by July 1 2007 Public Data Release; all of the data products below are also available above

UBVRIz' catalog of E-HDFS (62968 sources, machine readable, 22MB), images (7395x7749 0.267" pixels, 229MB each) and corresponding bad pixel masks (small files in .pl format) can be retrieved via anonymous ftp to ftp.astro.yale.edu in the directory pub/gawiser/musyc/ehdfs/optical .

NB5000 images of E-CDFS (7100x7100 0.267" pixels, 202MB), SDSS1030+05 (8100x7200 0.267" pixels, 233MB) and CW1255+01 (7700x7700 0.267" pixels, 237MB) and their corresponding bad pixel masks (small files in .pl format) can be retrieved via anonymous ftp to ftp.astro.yale.edu in the directories pub/gawiser/musyc/ecdfs/optical , /sdss1030/optical, and /cw1255/optical, respectively . A narrow-band selected UBVRIz'+o3 catalog of E-CDFS is also available (28297 sources, ascii, 10MB), with the columns following the same format as the EHDFS catalog above but with the additional o3 (NB5000) fluxes appearing just after those for z-band in each sequence.
