SSGSS: The Spitzer-SDSS-GALEX Spectroscopic Survey

Data Release Schedule and Products

May, 2008: IRS spectra (SL and LL for the full sample and SH for the 33 brightest galaxies)
Summer, 2008: Final version 2 (v2) pipeline and processed data complete. Calibrated science data products, merged catalogs complete and released.
Winter/Spring, 2008-2009: Final merged multiwavelength catalog, value-added catalogs (v2) and template spectra released

For each galaxy, we will generate (in FITS format):

2-D calibrated SL1-2, LL1-2, SH spectral images and noise maps
1-D spectral fluxes and flux errors for each band and order (for selected apertures)
Combined 1-D low-resolution spectra (5-40 micron) fluxes and flux errors vs. wavelength (for selected apertures)
Calibrated 16 micron peak-up images and fluxes
Header calibration and documentation information
Calibration maps and tables.

For the complete sample we will also build:

SSGSS catalog of continuum, band and line fluxes (and luminosities)
Merged multiwavelength catalog including matched-aperture photometry from GALEX, SDSS, 2MASS(Deep) and Spitzer/SWIRE
Merged spectroscopic catalog including UV-IR spectroscopic data from GALEX,SDSS and SSGSS
Template spectra for galaxies stacked according to physical properties (e.g. stellar mass, dust content, star formation history)
Value added catalogs with derived parameters including dust temperatures, band and line ratios, line diagnostics and physical parameters from model fits.
Documentation for each data product (in the form of header information, white papers, web-accessible HTML, and refereed publications).
