zCOSMOS Advanced Data Products migrated to the Phase 3 infrastructure

Published: 21 Mar 2014

The zCOSMOS-bright advanced data products are now available via the query forms for Science Data Products of the ESO Archive. The zCOSMOS data were migrated to be compliant to the ESO standard regarding format and header keywords requirements, and ingested in the ESO Science Archive Facility via the Phase 3 infrastructure.


First release of PESSTO spectral data products

Published: 20 Jan 2014

The Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) is one of the two on-going ESO public spectroscopic surveys. It aims to deliver detailed, high-quality, time series optical and near infrared spectroscopy of 150 optical transients covering the full range of parameter space that the current synoptic surveys now deliver: luminosity, host metallicity, explosion mechanisms. This will build a comprehensive understanding of the exotic, explosive Universe.


DSS and Skycat catalogues services migrated

Published: 17 Jan 2014

Please be aware that towards the end of 2013, DSS and the skycat catalogues services (including GSC2.2, USNO A2.0, etc.) were migrated to a new infrastructure. In case you find issues with the DSS service -whether via the web, via the DSS batch tool, or via the Skycat interface-, or with the skycat catalogues, please send your feedback with a description of the problem encountered to: archive@eso.org mentioning in the subject "DSS or Skycat catalogue".

Thanks in advance for your help in this matter,


New data of the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations Survey in the VIDEO-XMM field released

Published: 17 Jan 2014

VIDEO is a deep near-infrared survey which targets ~12 square degrees over the ELAIS-S1, XMMLSS, and ECDFS extragalactic fields. VIDEO belongs to the suite of six public surveys being conducted at ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The first public data release of the VIDEO programme via the ESO Science Archive Facility, the VIDEO-XMM Data Release Number 1, Date: 25.07.2011, contained 97 individual (i.e. single-OB) tile images in the VIDEO-XMM3 field and their associated single-band source lists. This release (VIDEO-XMM DR2) adds 156 single-OB images in the VIDEO-XMM fields 1, 2 and 3. DR2 is the first release that includes deep co-added images of the XMM3 field including the associated single-band source lists and the resulting deep photometric catalogue where the ZYJHKs data have been merged. To the 5σ limit of Ks~23.8, the Ks-selected catalogue contains 198178 sources over ~1.8 deg2.


DSS service improvements

Published: 14 Jan 2014

Please be aware that towards the end of 2013, the DSS and other archive services were migrated from the original SOLARIS platform to a modern Linux environment. Some DSS problems have been found and fixed ever since.

In case you discover some new issues with the DSS service (whether via the web, via the DSS batch tool, or via the Skycat interface), we would like to invite you to please send your feedback to: archive@eso.org mentioning DSS in the subject. 

Of course, you can use the same email address for any other issue you might have with other ESO archive services.

Thanks in advance for your  collaboration,


Extending the collection of UVES Echelle Science Data Products to slicer data

Published: 16 Dec 2013

The collection of pipeline-processed high-resolution spectral data obtained with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) has been significantly extended, now also including the observations that make use of the image slicers in order to optimize the observing efficiency during sub-optimal seeing conditions. In addition to the UVES data announced on 24 October 2013, over 10,000 individual spectra, which have been acquired in the period between 2003 and 2013, are now available from the ESO Science Archive Facility. The data consist of extracted wavelength- and, whenever possible, flux-calibrated 1-dimensional spectra in tabular format following the established ESO science data products standard.


First Data Release of the VIKING five-band photometric catalogue

Published: 16 Dec 2013

VIKING belongs to the suite of six public surveys being conducted at ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy Survey (VIKING) is a wide area (eventually ~1500 sq.degrees), intermediate-depth (5-sigma detection limit J~21 on Vega system) near-infrared imaging survey, in the five broadband filters Z, Y, J, H, Ks.


First Release of Gaia-ESO Spectroscopic Public Survey Data

Published: 18 Nov 2013

Data products resulting from the first release of the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey are now available via the dedicated Phase 3 query interface at the ESO Science Archive Facility.


First Release of VST Public Survey ATLAS Imaging Data

Published: 18 Nov 2013

Data products resulting from the first release of the ESO/VST Public Survey ATLAS are now available via the dedicated Phase 3 query interface at the ESO Science Archive Facility.


Release of UVES Echelle Science Data Products

Published: 24 Oct 2013

The ESO archive now provides access to reduced scientific data obtained with the UVES spectrograph mounted on the VLT.
