Title

Spitzer SDSS Galaxy Spectroscopic Survey

Description

The Spitzer SDSS Galaxy Spectroscopic Survey (SSGSS) is a Cycle-3 Spitzer program to acquire 5 to 40 micron mid-infrared spectroscopy of a representative sample of galaxies from SDSS, selected for having full prior photometric coverage from the UV to the far-IR.

The full SSGSS sample includes 101 star forming galaxies from the SWIRE/Lockman Hole region. These galaxies were selected from those with full SDSS, GALEX and IRAC (4 channel) and MIPS (24 and 70 micron) photometry, with a 5.8 micron surface brightness limit of 0.75 MJy/sr and a 24 micron flux limit of 1.5 mJy.

These data represent the first public data release of the full SSGSS sample. The dataset includes short-low and long-low IRS spectroscopy for the full sample, and short-high IRS spectroscopy for a subsample of the 33 brightest galaxies.

This dataset or service is made available by the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
