CLASH 3.6 Micron Catalog: Hubble and Spitzer Observations of 25 Galaxy Clusters

The Hubble Space Telescope multiwavelength observations were completed in 2013. This catalog from the CLASH Multi-Cycle Treasury program contains data on 25 massive galaxy clusters, including Spitzer IRAC observations. It is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and includes associated catalogs and gravitational lens models.

Use Cases

• Study galaxy cluster properties based on Hubble and Spitzer multiwavelength observations.
• Analyze gravitational lensing effects based on the included lens models.
• Conduct infrared astronomy research based on the Spitzer IRAC channel data.

Strengths

• Observations from two major space telescopes, Hubble and Spitzer.
• Covers 25 massive galaxy clusters.
• Includes gravitational lens models.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
