Herschel is a European Space Agency (ESA) space observatory with science instruments provided by European-led Principal Investigator consortia and with important participation from NASA. TDR was supported by an ESA Research Fellowship at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), in Madrid, Spain. RJI acknowledges support from the ERC in the form of the Advanced Investigator Program, 321302, COSMICISM. IRS acknowledges support from STFC (ST/L00075X/1), the ERC Advanced Investigator programme DUSTYGAL 321334 and a Royal Society/Wolfson Merit Award.; Based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. These observations are associated with programmes #11689, 13389, 13495, 13496, 13498, 13504. This publication also uses data products from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer ( WISE), which is a joint project of UCLA and JPL, Caltech, funded by NASA. This research made use of the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive, which is operated by JPL, Caltech, under contract with NASA.; We made use of a private version of the Rainbow Cosmological Surveys Database, operated by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), and PGP-G acknowledges support from Spanish Government MINECO grant AYA2012-31277.; This work also utilizes gravitational lensing models produced by PIs Ebeling (CATS) and Merten & Zitrin, funded as part of the HST Frontier Fields program conducted by STScI. STScI is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. The lens models were obtained from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST).
We present a complete census of all Herschel-detected sources within the six massive lensing clusters of the HST Frontier Fields (HFF). We provide a robust legacy catalogue of 263 sources with Herschel fluxes, primarily based on imaging from the Herschel Lensing Survey and PEP/HerMES Key Programmes. We optimally combine Herschel, Spitzer and WISE infrared (IR) photometry with data from HST, VLA and ground-based observatories, identifying counterparts to gain source redshifts. For each Herschel-detected source we also present magnification factor (mu), intrinsic IR luminosity and characteristic dust temperature, providing a comprehensive view of dust-obscured star formation within the HFF. We demonstrate the utility of our catalogues through an exploratory overview of the magnified population, including more than 20 background sub-LIRGs unreachable by Herschel without the assistance gravitational lensing.
