Abstract. We have imaged an 11.5 deg^2^ region of sky toward the South
Ecliptic Pole (R.A. =04^h^43^m^, decl. =-53^degree^40', J2000) at 24 and
70 micron 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 1{sigma} depths of the maps are 47 muJy beam^-1^ at 24 micron
and 4.3 mJy beam^-1^ at 70 micron. At 24 micron, we identify 93,098 point
sources with signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) >=5 and an additional 63 resolved
galaxies; at 70 micron we identify 891 point sources with S/N >=6. From
simulations, we determine a false detection rate of 1.8% (1.1%) for the 24
micron (70 micron) catalog. The 24 and 70 micron point-source catalogs are
80% complete at 230 muJy and 11 mJy, respectively. These mosaic images and
source catalogs will be available to the public through the NASA/IPAC
Infrared Science Archive.
