The FEROS Data in the ESO Archive
All FEROS data since October 2003 have been archived via the VLT Data
Flow System into the ESO Archive and are accessible via the standard
ESO
web tools.
These data are
subject to the normal ESO archive rules, i.e. the Principal
Investigator of each project has exclusive rights to the corresponding
data for a proprietory period of one year from the date of recieving
his/her data package. Normally for Visitor Mode programmes this means
from the end date of the observing run, while for Service Mode
programmes this usually means the end of the respective period.
Data from September 2001 till September 2004, including data from
both the ESO-1.52m telescope and the MPG/ESO-2.20m telescope, both
before and after the FEROS-BigBang are also archived on CD-Rom by La
Silla SciOps. A complete listing of NightLogs can be found
here.
However due to the time-consuming nature
of retrieving this data and the lack of man power, access to this
archive is very limited and is only considered in exceptional
circumstances.
Sample Calibrations
A sample set of calibrations for each readout mode is available at the following links:- Normal readout speed, 1x1 binning = 225kHz,1,low,1x1: DRS
