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

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2017-04-12 v1

Abstract

We present a 0.4-8μ\mum 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 206\approx 206 arcmin2^2 in the following bands: HST ACS F606W and F814W; HST WFC3 F125W, F140W and F160W; CFHT/Megacam uu^*, gg', rr', ii' and zz'; CFHT/WIRCAM JJ, HH and KSK_\mathrm{S}; Mayall/NEWFIRM J1J1, J2J2, J3J3, H1H1, H2H2, KK; Spitzer IRAC 3.6μ3.6\mum, 4.5μ4.5\mum, 5.8μ5.8\mum and 8.0μ8.0\mum. 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.
