Abstract:
The ESO-Spitzer extragalactic Imaging Survey (ESIS) is the optical
follow up of the Spitzer Wide-Area InfraRed Extragalactic (SWIRE)
survey in the ELAIS-S1 area.
The multiwavelength study of galaxy emission is the key to understand
the interplay of the various components of galaxies and to trace their
role in cosmic evolution. ESIS provides optical identification and
colors of Spitzer IR galaxies and builds the bases for photometric
redshift estimates. This paper presents B, V, R Wide Field Imager
observations of the first 1.5 square degree of the ESIS survey. Data
reduction includes astrometric calibration, illumination and color
corrections. Synthetic sources are simulated in scientific and
super-sky-flat images, with the purpose of estimating completeness and
photometric accuracy for the survey. Number counts and color
distributions are compared to literature observational and theoretical
data, including non-evolutionary, PLE, evolutionary and semi-analytic
Lambda-CDM galaxy models, as well as Milky Way stellar predictions.
Object coordinates are defined with an accuracy as good as ∼0.15" rms
with respect to GSC 2.2; flux uncertainties are ∼2, 10, 20% at mag.
20, 23, 24 respectively (Vega); we reach 95% completeness at B, V∼25
and R∼24.5. ESIS galaxy number counts are in good agreement with
previous works and are best reproduced by evolutionary and
hierarchical Lambda-CDM scenarios.
