Abstract:
HerMES is the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey, an
astronomical project to study the evolution of galaxies in the distant
Universe.It is the largest project on ESA's Herschel Space Observatory
(900 hours). You will find more information about it on the HerMES
website (http://hedam.lam.fr/HerMES/).
The project is carried out by a large team, made up primarily of
people who built one of the instruments on Herschel called SPIRE.
Description:
SPIRE maps (250, 350 and 500 microns) and PACS maps (100 and 160
microns) covering an area of more than 385 square degrees in the sky
resulting from observations taken as part of HerMES (KPGTsoliver1),
a Herschel Key Project whose main objective was to chart the formation
and evolution of infrared galaxies throughout cosmic history,
measuring the bolometric emission of infrared galaxies and their
clustering properties. The associated catalogues extracted from these
maps include over 1,200,000 entries representing over 340,000
galaxies. They consist of 'blind extraction' catalogues containing
photometric information derived directly from these maps, 'band
merged' catalogues extracted at SPIRE 250 micron positions plus
'cross-identification' catalogues based on prior Spitzer MIPS 24
micron source positions. The latest data releases contain also
information derived from the complementary Herschel programmes HeLMS
(GT2mviero1) and HeRS (OT2mviero2).

Note (1): HerMes identifiers are <4HERMES SNNN AA D JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS>, where:
* NNN is the Herschel filter (250, 350 or 500)
* AA is "SF" for StarFinder, "SX" for SUSSEXtractor,
and "SP" for the merged catalog.
* D is identify a source found on a deep map where a shallow map
is also available (nested fields, L1-ECDFS, L3-Groth-Strip,
L3-Lockman-East-ROSAT, L4-UDS and L4-VVDS) nothing otherwise
* JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS is the truncated J2000 position (of the 250um source
for the merged catalogues)
