Guidelines

Each data release is accompanied by a 'Presentation' web page, giving a description of the contents. The required information can be delivered in plain text form accompanied by images/plots and will be assembled into the Presentation page. <.P. Below is a list of the required information (bold) together with an explanation or example.

Abstract

A short, broad overview, text-only (also touching on the instrument, ESO Programme ID(s), filters/bands used).

Overview/field layout

For imaging data products: A short listing of the positions of the various fields/objects with an indication of the set of bands used for each, preferably with a finding chart or display of the covered fields/objects.
For spectroscopic data products: If possible, a finding chart, or anything else that gives an idea of from where on the sky the spectra were taken.

Release content

For imaging data products: An extended listing for each field/object of such things as positions, filters used, exposure time, seeing, observing date etc.
For spectroscopic data products: An extended characterisation of the spectra.

Release notes

Short descriptions of the reduction methods used, the calibration procedures (astrometric, photometric, wavelength) and a comparison with previous releases where applicable.

Data format

A description of the types of files in this package, groupings and naming conventions used.
