Contribution

It provides the first public release of a large, high-quality spectral dataset from the VIPERS survey, including multiple data products for each object.

Findings

Over 57,000 spectra released

Includes calibrated, cleaned, sky, noise, and 2D spectra

Data available for download from the project website

Abstract

We release the spectra for the more than 57000 objects presented in the First VIPERS Data Release. For each object we distribute the observed, wavelength and flux calibrated spectrum, as well as cleaned spectra, where artifacts due to fringing are removed. We also provide the sky and noise spectrum and the 2D spectrum. Data can be downloaded from http://vipers.inaf.it.
