ESO Instrument Specific Query Forms

• AMBER (near-infrared J, H, and K band instrument of the VLT Interferometer).
• APEX (submm telescope with heterodyne spectrometer and bolometer arrays).
• CRIRES (cryogenic high-resolution infrared echelle spectrograph).
• FORS1 (optical imager and low dispersion spectrograph).
• FORS2 (optical imager and low dispersion spectrograph).
• GIRAFFE (medium-high resolution optical fibre spectrograph [370-900 nm] with multi-object [Medusa mode] and IFU capabilities [IFU, Argus modes]). GIRAFFE is part of the FLAMES facility which can also feed UVES.
• HARPS GTO query form dedicated to GTO programmes (HARPS is a fibre-fed high resolution echelle spectrograph at the ESO La Silla 3.6m telescope). For non GTO HARPS programmes, please use the main archive query form for raw data.
• HAWK-I (cryogenic wide field imager).
• ISAAC stacks (infrared imaging and spectroscopy [1-5µm]); ISAAC form can be used to access individual frames.
  This data view features grouping of all frames of a stack into a single record.
• MIDI (mid-IR N-band [8-13 um] instrument of the VLT Interferometer).
• NACO (adaptive optics assisted imaging, imaging polarimetry, coronography and spectroscopy [1-5µm]).
• SINFONI (near-IR [1-2.5 um] integral field spectrograph fed by an adaptive optics module).
• UVES (ultraviolet-visual echelle spectrograph [300-1100 nm]).
• VIMOS (visible wide field imager [370-1000 nm] and multi-object spectrograph).
• VISIR (imager/spectrometer for mid-IR N and Q bands, 8-13 and 16.5-24.5 um).

All instrument specific query forms features DIMM seeing query and viewer and FITS header viewer.

All science observations have a proprietary period of one year. Data sets can be requested after the proprietary period has expired.
