Abstract

We present the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey catalog, including space-based photometry, photometric redshifts, and physical parameters for more than 80,000 galaxies. The imaging used for this catalog comes from the CEERS survey, which has NIRCam coverage over ∼100 arcmin 2 of the Extended Groth Strip in seven filters from 1.15 to 4.44 μ m. Alongside these data, we also include ancillary Hubble Space Telescope imaging in seven filters from 0.435 to 1.6 μ m. We used Source Extractor with hot and cold detection settings to extract photometry. We derive photometric redshifts using the spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling code LePHARE , and estimate their accuracy using spectroscopically confirmed galaxies out to z ∼ 10, with σ NMAD ranging from 0.035 to 0.073, depending strongly on galaxy magnitude and redshift. We compute stellar masses, star formation rates, and E ( B − V ) using three different SED fitting codes with different templates and assumptions about the galaxy star formation histories. All of these measurements, as well as the full mosaics in all filters and redshift probability distribution functions, are made available via the CEERS DR1.0 data release.
