ASTRODEEP-JWST: NIRCam-HST multi-band photometry and redshifts for half a million sources in six extragalactic deep fields

Aims . We present a set of photometric catalogues primarily aimed at providing the community with a comprehensive database for the study of galaxy populations in the high-redshift Universe. The set gathers data from eight JWST NIRCam observational programs, targeting the Abell 2744 (GLASS-JWST, UNCOVER, DDT2756, and GO3990), EGS (CEERS), COSMOS and UDS (PRIMER), and the GOODS North and South (JADES and NGDEEP) deep fields. This dataset covers a total area of ≃0.2 sq. degrees. Methods . We obtained photometric estimates by means of well-established techniques, including tailored improvements designed to enhance the performance on the specific dataset. We also included new measurements from HST archival data, spanning 16 bands from 0.44 to 4.44 µm. Results . A grand total of ~530 thousand sources were detected on stacks of NIRCam 3.56 and 4.44 µm mosaics. We assessed the photometric accuracy by comparing fluxes and colours against archival catalogues. We also provide photometric redshift estimates, statistically validated against a large set of robust spectroscopic data. Conclusions . The catalogues are publicly available on the A STRODEEP website.

This dataset covers a total area of ≃0.2 sq. degrees. Methods . We obtained photometric estimates by means of well-established techniques, including tailored improvements designed to enhance the performance on the specific dataset. We also included new measurements from HST archival data, spanning 16 bands from 0.44 to 4.44 µm. Results .
