Abstract

We present the multiwavelength photometry of two Frontier Fields massive galaxy clusters MACS-J0717 and MACS-J1149 and their parallel fields, ranging from HST to ground based K and Spitzer IRAC bands, and the public release of photometric redshifts and rest frame properties of galaxies found in cluster and parallel pointings. This work was done within ASTRODEEP project and aims to provide a reference for future investigations of the extragalactic populations. To fully exploit the depth of the images and detect faint sources we used an accurate procedure which carefully removes the foreground light of bright cluster sources and the intra-cluster light thus enabling detection and measurement of accurate fluxes in crowded cluster regions. This same procedure has been successfully used to derive the photometric catalogue of MACS-J0416 and Abell-2744. The obtained multi-band photometry was used to derive photometric redshifts, magnification and physical properties of sources. In line with the first two FF catalogues released by ASTRODEEP, the photometric redshifts reach $\sim4%accuracy.MoreoverweextendthepresentlyavailablesamplestogalaxiesintrinsicallyasfaintasH160\sim32−34magthanksthemagnificationfactorsinducedtostronggravitationallensing.Ouranalysisallowsustoprobegalaxymasseslargerthen10^{7}$ M and/or SFR=0.1-1M/yr out to redshift z>6.
