VIPERS PDR 1

This is the entry point to the first data release (PDR-1) of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS).

The PDR-1 includes spectroscopic measurements for 57204 objects, together with the survey masks and weights and photometric ancillary information from the CFHTLS. 54756 of these objects are galaxies or AGN, 2448 are stars. Details on the data and how to use them can be found in Garilli et al. (2014) and Guzzo et al. (2014)

The following tables contain the the PDR-1 spectroscopic catalogues, separately for the two VIPERS fields (W1 and W4). Catalogues are provided as gzipped files and stored in three formats: simple tab separated ASCII table, FITS binary tables and IVOA VOTable. The columns description is shared by W1 and W4 catalogs and can be downloaded at this LINK.

W1 field	FITS (1.1 MB)	ASCII (835 KB)	VOTable (983 KB)
W4 field	FITS (1.1 MB)	ASCII (838 KB)	VOTable (988 KB)

The following tables contain the the parent photometric catalogues, separately for the two VIPERS field (W1 and W4). Catalogues are provided as gzipped files and stored in three formats: simple tab-separated ASCII table, FITS binary tables and IVOA VOTable. The columns description is shared by W1 and W4 catalogs and can be downloaded at this LINK.

W1 field	FITS (62 MB)	ASCII (53 MB)	VOTable (59 MB)
W4 field	FITS (60 MB)	ASCII (71 KB)	VOTable (68 MB)

The following table provides the photometric and spectroscopic masks for W1 and W4 fields along with the measurements of the angular target sampling rate TSR(Q) and angular spectroscopic sampling rate SSR(Q) for each observed VIMOS quadrant.
