BEACON DR2, consisting of 36 pointings, provides NIRCam imaging spanning 6+ bands, providing mostly uninterrupted spectral coverage from 0.8 to 5 microns. This allows for robust photometric redshift determination and physical property analysis of sources at redshifts z ~ 2 to z > 10 through spectral energy distribution (SED) modelling.
With this data release, the team provides imaging data from the 36 independent pointings constituting BEACON DR2 (including all DR1 fields), covering approximately 400 sq. arcmin. Data products include a high-redshift (7<z<12) candidate catalogue consisting of 164 sources, satisfying the selection described in K. Kreilgaard et al. 2026, and imaging data from 8 additional BEACON pointings covered by 4 bands.
BEACON DR2 is released as a STScI High Level Science Product (HLSP).
Here we provide access to the data products from the first data release of the BEACON survey, consisting of the first 19 fields.
Initial results from these fields are presented in the survey paper (T. Morishita et al. 2025).
