4 Progress of Public Surveys Courtesy: M. Arnaboldi/ESO Survey Team Ø Max. fraction of completion: 56% for VHS, 55% for VST-ATLAS Ø Significant progress for all surveys (though at a different rate) Ø 30+ publications resulting from PSs; 11 ESO PRs; see also: Survey Science in October

5 ESO Phase 3 Policies The ESO archive is the collection point for the survey products and the primary point of publication/ availability of these products to the ESO community. (Cou104, Dec 2004) Phase 3 PIs of ESO observing programmes return data products to ESO Storage in the ESO Archive (long-term data preservation) Data publication/distribution to the scientific community ESO s policies governing Phase 3 are specific to the type of observing programme. Phase 3 is mandatory for ESO Public Surveys and for ESO Large Programmes since period 75; available also for other ESO observations(!) Further allocation of telescope time for ESO PSs is subject to the completion of the Phase 3. 5

6 Phase 3 Process & Responsibilities Phase 3 denotes the process of preparation, submission, validation and ingestion of science data products for storage in the ESO Science Archive Facility, and subsequent data publication to the scientific community. 1. Data preparacon 8. Data publicacon 2. User s data validacon 7. Archival storage 3. Data release definicon 6. Content validacon 4. Data transfer to ESO 5. AutomaCc release validacon Closing the data release P.I. Data provider The survey P.I. is responsible for the quality of the reduced data products and the associated documentation ( data release description ). ESO defines the required data format ( ESO Science Data Products Standard ), provides dedicated tools, user documentation and direct support for Phase 3 data providers. 6

7 Types of Data Products Survey Tile Image Astrometrically & photometrically calibrated FITS image with associated confidence map; Quality params. (limiting magnitude, PSF size, etc.) Generally: processing provenance (keyword PROVi) to trace back to the original (raw) data. 1-dim. extracted wavelength-calibrated spectrum FITS binary table format Support for 2d spectral frames as ancillary files Exposure map of the VISTA survey tile. Compliant to IVOA Spectral Data Model (v1) Survey Source List Single-band source catalogues directly extracted from the (tile) image associated to its originating image (provenance keyword PROVi) Based on nightly calibrations, degenerate w.r.t. physical sources Science Catalogues Homogeneous merged multi-band catalogue for each survey (possibly per region) Global astrometry/photometry; cross-calibrated using overlapping tiles and across bands Multiple detections merged, i.e. unique entries (ultimately) Uniform tabular structure including content descriptors (employing UCDs) Supports variability surveys: multi-epoch photometric catalogues (i.e. light curves) Tile-by-tile scheme supported for data delivery Dedicated query interface: ESO Catalogue Facility 7

ESO/SDP Standard P3 web pages Catalogue facility Validator OCA rules IngesCon tool Basis for the data provider (pipeline development) Implemented in the Phase 3 data flow in terms of programmed rules (OCA) Many dependencies of infrastructure components Central role to Phase 3 operations; Any change is expensive ESO/SAF user Query forms 9

10 Phase 3 System Components The Phase 3 Validator is a command- line applicacon that verifies the data s compliance with the format standard and the validity of the FITS header keywords against predefined rules. Start of operacons: March 2011 The Phase 3 Release Manager is a web applicacon that allows the P.I. to define data colleccons and releases and to manage the Phase 3 delegacon to co- invescgators. hwp:// Any FTP client like l[p, filezilla etc. Note: the requirement for SSL/TLS was dropped (Jun 2012). The P.I. or a delegate transfers the data via standard FTP to the dedicated staging area at ESO headquarters. 10

19 Data Access Statistics (2) Number of files downloaded per data product type Ø 5.6 TB of data products, >2x10 4 files downloaded from the ESO SAF since December

20 Impact of Data Products Source: ESO Telescope Bibliography Ø In 2012: 874 publicacons based on ESO data, Ø 25% thereof using archival data. 21

21 Internal Data Products UC36.R.3: The ESO data archive should contain calibrated data where at least instrumental signatures are removed to increase the value of the archive for the ESO users. Science-grade DPs to be produced and integrated for seamless access of internal and external data products through the ESO archive user interfaces. Timeline: Publication of UVES Echelle data in Q (backlog+stream of new data), then (very preliminary): X-Shooter-Echelle, FLAMES- MEDUSA, and HAWK-I and VIMOS imaging (UK in-kind contribution) 22

22 Conclusions q The currently on-going eleven ESO public survey projects are progressing very well. q The ESO Science Archive Facility is being populated with resulting science-grade data products including calibrated images, spectra, and catalogues. q Start of the regular production and publication of pipelineprocessed science-grade data products from UVES/Echelle in 2013/Q4. q The Phase 3 process, implementing ESO s policies for public surveys, relies on the ESO Science Data Products Standard. q VO standards are being considered when applicable (examples: UCDs, spectrum data format è A. Micol s talk). q Collaborations on s/w being developed in the VO-context (VOview, OpenCADC libs). 23
