Raw FEROS data from 2001-2003 available from the ESO Archive

Published: 24 Sep 2012

As part of the ongoing effort of enabling access to historical ESO data, raw frames from the FEROS instrument taken between 2001-09-01 and 2003-10-15 have been recovered from offline media. These data are now available through the standard Archive query form.


Only raw data are available for that period. No pipeline-processed data are available.


Caveat: since the files were not obtained with the standard ESO data collection system, they required conversion in order to conform to basic ESO data interface specifications. While every attempt was made to properly identify categories and types of frames, we cannot guarantee that this was successful in all cases. Thus it is possible that some of the files were mislabeled. Users are asked to exercise caution when working with those data.


If a user encounters any files with incorrect metadata, we would much appreciate being informed, via an email to usd-help@eso.org.
