The AKARI Deep Field-South: Spitzer 24- and 70-μm observations, catalogues and counts

The AKARI Deep Field-South (ADF-S) is a ∼12 deg2 region near the South Ecliptic Pole that has been observed with deep scans in the far-infrared by the AKARI satellite. As such it is becoming one of the key extragalactic survey fields. We here present complementary observations of the ADF-S conducted by the Spitzer Space Telescope at wavelengths of 24 and 70 μm. We extract source catalogues at each...
