MAGES, a Spitzer Legacy program, consists of MIPS far-infrared imaging of the 9 square degree Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. The observations were executed in January of 2009. Complemented by a wealth of multi-wavelength data available for the Bootes field, the new MIPS observations enable the study of the properties of z<1 LIRGS and ULIRGS, the far-IR emission of obscured and unobscured QSOs and AGN, the spectral energy distributions of IR-luminous galaxies, and the clustering of IR-selected source populations. The MAGES data and initial catalogs will be presented. Our new MIPS observations yielded significantly improved long-wavelength (70 and 160 micron bands) observations compared to previous observations obtained early in the lifetime of the cryogenic mission of the Spitzer Space Telescope. Our preliminary catalogs include measurements of 60,000 sources at 24 microns, 3,300 at 70 microns, and 600 at 160 microns (5-sigma limit).
Our research has been supported by funding provided by NASA and the National Science Foundation.
