Abstract:
    We have imaged an 11.5deg2 region of sky toward the South Ecliptic
    Pole (SEP; J0443-5340) at 24 and 70um with MIPS, the Multiband
    Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. This region is coincident with a field
    mapped at longer wavelengths by AKARI and BLAST. We discuss our data
    reduction and source extraction procedures. The median 1σ depths
    of the maps are 47uJy/beam at 24um and 4.3mJy/beam at 70um. At 24um,
    we identify 93098 point sources with signal-to-noise ratio (S/N)≥5
    and an additional 63 resolved galaxies; at 70um we identify 891 point
    sources with S/N≥6. From simulations, we determine a false detection
    rate of 1.8% (1.1%) for the 24um (70um) catalog. The 24 and 70um
    point-source catalogs are 80% complete at 230uJy and 11mJy,
    respectively.

Description:
    The MIPS 24 and 70um observations of the SEP (Program ID 50581) were
    carried out in a single campaign (MIPS014300) from 2008 September
    24-30.

Note (1): Comment as follows:
    S = source is a known star;
    D = source was passively deblended, i.e. simultaneously fit along with
        neighboring sources (listed consecutively in the table, having the
        same reduced χ2);
    P = source may actually be part of the Point Response Fonction (PRF) feature
        of a nearby bright source, a bright latent artifact, or be poorly fit
        due to its proximity to a bright source, as described in section 4.1.

                                 (Table 3)

Note (1): For sources with a 70um counterpart (in column SSEP70), S70 gives
     the PRF-fitted fluxes and uncertainties from the point-source catalog
     (Table 3). For entries marked with a star, the 70um flux was measured
     using aperture photometry with the aperture radius listed in Col. Ap.
     Upper limits (5σ) are listed for sources not in the 70um
     point-source catalog. For sources with no 70um flux listed, the source
     lies outside of the coverage region of that map.
