The Herschel Multi-Tiered Extragalactic Survey: Source extraction and cross-identifications in confusion-dominated SPIRE images

We present the cross-identification and source photometry techniques used to process Herschel SPIRE imaging taken as part of the Herschel Multi-Tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES). Cross-identifications are performed in map-space so as to minimize source-blending effects. We make use of a combinati...
