The Spitzer-South Pole Telescope Deep Field (SSDF) is a wide-area survey using
IRAC to cover 94 square degrees of extragalactic sky, making it the largest IRAC
survey completed to date outside the Milky Way midplane. The SSDF is centered at
23:30,-55:00, in a region that combines observations spanning a broad wavelength
range from numerous facilities. These include millimeter imaging from the South
Pole Telescope, far-infrared observations from Herschel/SPIRE, X-ray
observations from the XMM-XXL survey, near-infrared observations from the VISTA
Hemisphere Survey, and radio-wavelength imaging from the Australia Telescope
Compact Array, in a panchromatic project designed to address major outstanding
questions surrounding galaxy clusters and the baryon budget.
