CDF-S is a unique region in the sky. An astonishing 6 Msec of Hubble data (nearly 2600 orbits of WFC3 and ACS data alone), 6 Msec of Spitzer IRAC images, and 4 Msec of Chandra data, plus ground-based spectra, imaging and, now, ALMA observations, make this one of Hubble's key legacy areas. Remarkably, while the major areas, HUDF, GOODS and CANDELS are available as high-level data products, over 40% (~1000 orbits) of HST data are unavailable to the community as high-level science products and catalogs in MAST. This includes several deep fields, including the parallel field HUDF09-2 which reaches as deep in ACS (~400 orbits) as the HUDF. We propose to use our extensive experience processing and delivering HST ACS and WFC3/IR datasets to STScI MAST to now deliver a complete processed and aligned dataset of all deep fields and the deeper, but as-yet-unused, SNe follow-up and parallel datasets across the CDF-S. The same will be done for the much smaller but similar dataset on the HDF-N region. These data products will add substantially to our understanding of the build up of galaxies to z~6 in the first Gyr during reionization, and their impact on reionization, the development of galaxies over the subsequent Gyr to to the peak of the star formation rate in the universe around 2-3 Gyr after the Big Bang at z~2-3, and the transition of early star-forming galaxies to the full splendor of the Hubble sequence since z~2. These Hubble Legacy Field datasets will be of great value as the Frontier Fields are used by the community. COSMOLOGY Default Legacy false false false false false SUPPORTED
