Description
We present the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey
(SERVS), an 18 deg2 medium-deep survey at 3.6 and 4.5 μm
with the postcryogenic Spitzer Space Telescope to ≈2 mJy (AB=23.1)
depth of five highly observed astronomical fields (ELAIS-N1, ELAIS-S1,
Lockman Hole, Chandra Deep Field South, and XMM-LSS). SERVS is designed
to enable the study of galaxy evolution as a function of environment
from z˜5 to the present day and is the first extragalactic survey
that is both large enough and deep enough to put rare objects such as
luminous quasars and galaxy clusters at z≳1 into their cosmological
context. SERVS is designed to overlap with several key surveys at
optical, near- through far-infrared, submillimeter, and radio
wavelengths to provide an unprecedented view of the formation and
evolution of massive galaxies. In this article, we discuss the SERVS
survey design, the data processing flow from image reduction and
mosaicking to catalogs, and coverage of ancillary data from other
surveys in the SERVS fields. We also highlight a variety of early
science results from the survey.
