GOODS-N: MIPS 24 Micron Source Catalog for Deep Field Survey

A catalog of sources detected at 24 microns in the GOODS-North field, part of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey. The catalog is limited to flux densities greater than 80 microJy, where source extraction is described as highly complete and reliable. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify infrared-bright galaxies in a deep extragalactic field based on the 24 micron photometry.
• Cross-match sources with other wavelength catalogs from the GOODS survey based on the unified deep observation framework.
• Study the faint end of the infrared source population based on the specified 80 microJy flux density limit.
• Perform completeness and reliability analyses for source extraction in infrared imaging based on the catalog's stated properties.

Strengths

• Part of the unified GOODS survey combining data from NASA's Great Observatories and other powerful facilities.
• Source extraction is described as highly complete and reliable above the 80 microJy flux density threshold.

Limitations

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