New version of the band merged catalogue from the VPHAS+ Public Survey
With this additional catalogue release (DR3.2) from the ESO/VST Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+), data from six more months of observations are added to the previously released catalogue. Aperture marched band measurements are derived from all the calibrated images of sufficient quality that have been acquired till 30 September 2015 under ESO Programme 177.D-3023(B,C,D,E, F, G, H). The current catalogue release covers about 1200 square degrees that correspond to over half of the VPHAS+ footprint targeting the Southern Galactic Plane.
The current catalogue provides aperture photometry for 610 million primary detections, supported by parameters providing information on the nature of each source; its total volume is 0.5 TB. The catalogue is available via the Catalog Facility and it is also accompanied by a comprehensive description.
