ADC_Keywords: Surveys ; Galaxy catalogs ; Galaxies, photometry ; Morphology Keywords: surveys - galaxies: clusters: general - galaxies: evolution Abstract: We present an overview of the Space Telescope A901/2 Galaxy Evolution Survey (STAGES). STAGES is a multiwavelength project designed to probe physical drivers of galaxy evolution across a wide range of environments and luminosity. A complex multicluster system at z∼0.165 has been the subject of an 80-orbit F606W Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) mosaic covering the full 0.5x0.5deg2 (∼5x5Mpc2) span of the supercluster. Extensive multiwavelength observations with XMM-Newton, GALEX, Spitzer, 2dF, Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and the 17-band COMBO-17 photometric redshift survey complement the HST imaging. Our survey goals include simultaneously linking galaxy morphology with other observables such as age, star formation rate, nuclear activity and stellar mass. In addition, with the multiwavelength data set and new high-resolution mass maps from gravitational lensing, we are able to disentangle the large-scale structure of the system. By examining all aspects of an environment we will be able to evaluate the relative importance of the dark matter haloes, the local galaxy density and the hot X-ray gas in driving galaxy transformation. Description: Having created separate catalogues from the STAGES and COMBO-17 data sets, we create a combined, master catalogue. In summary, the combined catalogue contains 88 879 sources. Of these, ∼6577 objects with a COMBO-17 ID are not within the region covered by the STAGES HST mosaic. Moreover, ∼1271 STAGES detections are outside the COMBO-17 observation footprint. Inside the region covered by both surveys, there are ∼81031 sources. For 50701 objects, the method described above provides a match between COMBO-17 and STAGES . ∼23833 sources detected in STAGES do not have counterparts in COMBO-17; ∼6497 sources from the COMBO-17 catalogue are not matched to STAGES detections.

SED type (6) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (1): COMBO-17 photometry flags: * bit 0-7 (corresponding to values 0-128) are original SExtractor flags * bit 9 (from COMBO-17) indicates only potential problem from bright neighbours or reflexes from the optics (check images), * bit 10 (from COMBO-17) indicates uncorrected hot pixels, * bit 11 (from COMBO-17) is set interactively when photometry is erroneous Note (2): Stages flags as follows: 0 = Not in STAGES footprint (only in COMBO-17) 1 = In STAGES footprint, but not detected by STAGES (only in COMBO-17) 2 = Detected by STAGES, but not HST extended source 3 = HST-extended source, but GALFIT ran into constraint 4 = HST-extended source, but GALFIT successful Note (3): COMBO flag as follows: 0 = Not in COMBO-17 footprint (only in STAGES) 1 = In COMBO-17 footprint, but not detected by COMBO-17 (only in STAGES) 2 = Detected by COMBO-17, but neither galaxy, nor cluster, nor WGM05 3 = Galaxy but neither cluster, nor WGM05 4 = Cluster galaxy, but not WGM05 5 = Cluster galaxy in WGM05 Note (4): MIPS flags as follows: 0 = Detected only by STAGES 1 = Detected by COMBO-17, but outside MIPS footprint 2 = Detected by COMBO-17 and inside MIPS footprint, but not detected by MIPS 3 = Detected by COMBO-17 and detected by MIPS Note (5): mcclass as follows: Star = Stars (only point sources) WDwarf = White dwarf (only point sources) Galaxy = Galaxies (shape irrelevant) Galaxy (Star?) = Binary or low-z galaxy (star SED but extended; ambiguous colour space) Galaxy (Uncl!) = SED fit undecided (most often galaxy) QSO = QSOs (only point sources) QSO (Galaxy?) = Seyfert-1 AGN or interloping galaxy (AGN SED but extended; ambiguous colour space) Strange object = Unusual strange spectrum (chi2red>30) Note (6): SED type takes the following values: 1 = old red 2 = dusty red 3 = blue cloud Note (7): Ages are encoded in a template number running from 0 (youngest) to 59 (oldest) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: table1.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 2 I2 --- Tile [1/80] Tile number 4- 13 A10 "DD/MM/YYYY" Date Observation date 15- 16 I2 h RAh Right ascension (J2000) 18- 19 I2 min RAm Right ascension (J2000) 21- 24 F4.1 s RAs Right ascension (J2000) 26 A1 --- DE- Declination sign (J2000) 27- 28 I2 deg DEd Declination (J2000) 30- 31 I2 arcmin DEm Declination (J2000) 33- 34 I2 arcsec DEs [0,60] Declination (J2000) 36- 39 I4 s ExpTime Exposure time 41- 44 I4 --- Nhot Number of hot SEXtractor configuration 46- 48 I3 --- Ncold Number of cold SEXtractor configuration 50- 53 I4 --- Ngood Number of good SEXtractor configuration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: table4.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 3 I3 nm lamc Central wavelength of filter 4 A1 --- --- [/] 5- 7 I3 nm FWHM Filter width 9 A1 --- Filt [UBVRI] Filter name 12- 16 I5 s ExpTime Exposition time 19- 22 F4.2 arcsec Seeing Seeing 24- 27 F4.1 mag maglim 10σ (Vega) magnitude limits 29- 32 A4 --- Run [AEG, ] Observing run code(s) (1) 35- 39 F5.2 mag Mag Magnitude of Vega (in AB system) 42- 46 F5.3 10+8/m2/nm/s Flux Photon flux of Vega in filter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (1): COMBO-17 observing runs with A901/2 imaging: A = 1999/02/11-1999/02/22 E = 2000/01/28-2000/02/11 G = 2001/01/19-2001/01/20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global notes: Note (G1): Nomenclature note: * STAGES sources identified as STAGES FF-NNNN, * COMBO-17 sources identified as COMBO JHHMMSSs+DDMMSS = [GWB2009] NNNNN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: Copied at http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/astronomy/stages/astro_data.html * 30-Jan-2010: reformatted (impossible values truncated).
