We present Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) data and source catalogs from the Spitzer Space Telescope Extragalactic First Look Survey. The data were taken in four broad bands centered at nominal wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns. A set of mosaics and catalogs have been produced which are ~80% complete and ~99% reliable to their chosen flux density limits. The main field survey covers 3.8 deg^2, and has flux density limits of 20muJy, 25muJy, 100muJy and 100muJy at wavelengths of 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns,respectively. The deeper ``verification survey covers 0.25 deg^2 with limits of 10muJy, 10muJy, 30muJy and 30muJy, respectively. We also include deep data in the ELAIS-N1 field which covers 0.041deg^2 with limits of 4muJy, 3muJy, 10muJy and 10muJy, respectively, but with only two wavelength coverage at a given sky position. The final bandmerged catalogs contain 103193 objects in the main field, 12224 in the verification field and 5239 in ELAIS-N1. Flux densities of high signal-to-noise objects are accurate to about 10%, and the residual systematic error in the absolute flux density scale is ~2-3%. We have successfully extracted sources at source densities as high as 100000 deg^-2 in our deepest 3.6 and 4.5 micron data. The mosaics and source catalogs will be made available through the Spitzer Science Center archive and the Infrared Science Archive.
We present several corrections for point source photometry to be applied to data from the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. These corrections are necessary because of characteristics of the IRAC arrays and optics and the wa
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope is absolutely calibrated by comparing photometry on a set of A stars near the north ecliptic pole to predictions based on ground-based observations and a stellar atmosphere model. The br
In this Letter, we present the initial characterization of extragalactic 24um sources in the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS) by examining their counterparts at 8um and R-band. The color-color diagram of 24-to-8 vs. 24-to-0.7um is populated with 18,73
We present Spitzer 70um and 160um observations of the Spitzer extragalactic First Look Survey (xFLS). The data reduction techniques and the methods for producing co-added mosaics and source catalogs are discussed. Currently, 26% of the 70um sample an
Selection of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the infrared allows the discovery of AGN whose optical emission is extinguished by dust. In this paper, we use the Spitzer Space Telescope First Look Survey (FLS) to assess what fraction of AGN with mid-in
