cds-question@unistra.frinfrared-photometrysurveysquasarsWe describe the first data release from the Spitzer-IRAC Equatorial Survey (SpIES); a large-area survey of ~115deg^2^ in the Equatorial SDSS Stripe 82 field using Spitzer during its "warm" mission phase. SpIES was designed to probe sufficient volume to perform measurements of quasar clustering and the luminosity function at z>=3 to test various models for "feedback" from active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Additionally, the wide range of available multi-wavelength, multi-epoch ancillary data enables SpIES to identify both high-redshift (z>=5) quasars as well as obscured quasars missed by optical surveys. SpIES achieves 5{sigma} depths of 6.13uJy (21.93 AB magnitude) and 5.75uJy (22.0 AB magnitude) at 3.6 and 4.5um, respectively --depths significantly fainter than the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). We show that the SpIES survey recovers a much larger fraction of spectroscopically confirmed quasars (~98%) in Stripe 82 than are recovered by WISE (~55%). This depth is especially powerful at high-redshift (z>=3.5), where SpIES recovers 94% of confirmed quasars, whereas WISE only recovers 25%. Here we define the SpIES survey parameters and describe the image processing, source extraction, and catalog production methods used to analyze the SpIES data. In addition to this survey paper, we release 234 images created by the SpIES team and three detection catalogs: a 3.6um only detection catalog containing ~6.1 million sources, a 4.5um only detection catalog containing ~6.5 million sources, and a dual-band detection catalog containing ~5.4 million sources.2016ApJS..225....1Thttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/225/1CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/319 : UKIDSS-DR9 LAS, GCS and DXS Surveys (Lawrence+ 2012)V/141 : Light-Motion Curve Catalogue (LMCC) in Stripe 82 (Bramich+ 2008)J/ApJ/824/70 : UV-FIR SED results of SDSS QSOs & their hosts (Dong+, 2016)J/ApJ/817/172 : X-ray Observations of Stripe 82 (LaMassa+, 2016)J/ApJS/221/23 : IRAC HUDF and GOODS ultradeep surveys (Labbe+, 2015)J/ApJS/219/39 : QSOs selection from SDSS and WISE (Richards+, 2015)J/ApJ/804/27 : NIR photometry of hot dust-obscured galaxies (Assef+, 2015)J/ApJ/799/72 : Binary AGNs from the VLA Stripe 82 survey (Fu+, 2015)J/ApJS/213/12 : SDSS Stripe 82 co-added runs (Jiang+, 2014)J/ApJS/210/22 : Herschel Stripe 82 survey (HerS) 1st catalog (Viero+, 2014)J/MNRAS/441/1802 : Low-redshift QSOs in SDSS Stripe 82 (Karhunen+, 2014)J/MNRAS/440/476 : Low-redshift quasars in SDSS Stripe 82 (Falomo+, 2014)J/MNRAS/439/1212 : Deep 20GHz survey of CDFS & SDSS Stripe 82 (Franzen+, 2014)J/MNRAS/436/3581 : X-ray observations of Stripe 82 (LaMassa+, 2013)J/ApJS/209/22 : SSDF survey: IRAC catalogs (Ashby+, 2013)J/ApJ/778/127 : UKIDSS+FIRST+SDSS red QSOs candidates (Glikman+, 2013)J/MNRAS/435/3306 : Candidate type II QSOs in SDSS III (Alexandroff+, 2013)J/ApJ/772/26 : AGN with WISE.
