The Spitzer/MIPS 24 and 70 μm imaging of an 11.5 square degree region near the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP) has been carried out in order to complement sub-millimeter wavelength observations (250-500 μm) of the same region of sky taken with the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope (BLAST), with the goal of better characterizing the nature of sub-millimeter selected galaxies and their role in galaxy evolution. This field has also been extensively mapped at other wavelengths, and will be imaged from 100-500 μm as part of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES).

Included in this release are the 24 and 70 μm SEP maps and source catalogs. These data are described in the article "Spitzer MIPS 24 and 70 μm Imaging near the South Ecliptic Pole: Maps and Source Catalogs" by Scott et al. (2010). Please reference this paper if you use these data in your research.

Also available are SEP image "cutouts" using IRSA's Cutouts Service, which is a general tool to create single or multiple small FITS (and JPEG) image cutouts of data sets archived at IRSA.
