Abstract

I present the Spitzer Data Fusion, a multi-wavelength photometric database providing far-ultraviolet to far-infrared flux measurements, together with photometric and spectroscopic redshifts, for 4.4 million IRAC-selected sources over 65,deg squared in eight of the most widely studied extragalactic survey fields. A companion product, the SERVS Data Fusion, provides 2.8 million sources over 18,deg squared selected from deeper Spitzer warm-mission imaging. Catalogs are band-merged with wavelength-dependent matching radii, astrometrically registered against 2MASS, and distributed as FITS binary tables, one per field, as DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.6120913 and as CDS/VizieR catalog II/377. The database is intended as a community resource for photometric redshift calibration, spectral energy distribution fitting, sample selection and multi-wavelength cross-identification, and is a natural bridge between the Spitzer legacy fields and ongoing Euclid, Rubin and SKA precursor surveys.
