Observations of the Hubble Deep Field with the Infrared Space Observatory - I. Data reduction, maps and sky coverage
نویسنده
چکیده
We present deep imaging at 6.7 and 15 /lm from the CAM instrument on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), centred on the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). These are the deepest integrations published to date at these wavelengths in any region of sky. We discuss the observational strategy and the data reduction. The observed source density appears to approach the CAM confusion limit at 15 /lm, and fluctuations in the 6.7-/lm sky background may be identifiable with similar spatial fluctuations in the HDF galaxy counts. ISO appears to be detecting comparable field galaxy populations to the HDF, and our data yield strong evidence that future infrared missions (such as SIRTF, FIRST and WIRE) as well as SCUBA and millimetre arrays will easily detect field galaxies out to comparably high redshifts.

We present here the results of a deep survey in a 0.4 deg2 blank field in Selected Area 57 conducted with the ISOPHOT instrument aboard ESAs Infrared Space Observatory (ISO1) at both 60 μm and 90 μm. The resulting sky maps have a spatial resolution of 15 × 23 arcsrc2 per pixel which is much higher than the 90 × 90 arcsec2 pixels of the IRAS All Sky Survey. We describe the main instrumental effe...

We discuss the identification of sources detected by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at 6.7 and 15 11m in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) region. We conservatively associate ISO sources with objects in existing optical and near-infrared HDF catalogues using the likelihood ratio method, confirming these results (and, in one case, clarifying them) with independent visual searches. We find 15 ISO...
