GESiDR4Spectra Database Release

For details of known issues and problems with GESiDR4Spectra see the Known Issues page.

GESiDR4Spectra is a preliminary release of the metadata tables for the iDR4 stacked spectra. Both Giraffe and UVES spectra are included. This release is being made available now in order to facilitate the timely exploitation of these data. The spectra themselves are not included in the release, in line with Consortium policy.

GESiDR4Spectra is a release internal to the GES Consortium and only available to GES Co-Investigators. If you are a GES Co-Investigator then in order to access the archive you must obtain a login profile from your local GES Community Contact, if you have not already done so. Every institution in the Consortium has a Community Contact. See the list of community contacts to identify your local contact.

If no community contact is listed for your institution please contact either Clare Worley (ccworley@ast.cam.ac.uk) or Anna Hourihane (aph@ast.cam.ac.uk).

If you encounter login or other technical problems then please report them by e-mail to ges-support@roe.ac.uk.

GESiDR4Spectra comprises only the metadata tables for the iDR4 Giraffe and UVES stacked spectra. It does not contain any astrophysical parameters and abundances, nor any nightly spectra. Conversely, for convenience the release does contain the iDR4 atomic and molecular line lists. (These data were previously accessible in database GESiDR4LineList, where they continue to be available.) GESiDR4Spectra supersedes GESiDR4GiraffeSpectra (which contained only Giraffe spectra) though the latter continues to be available.

The structure of GESiDR4Spectra, in terms of the tables present and their constituent columns, is the same as the GESiDR2iDR3 release. The unused tables, for example those to contain astrophysical parameters, are present but empty. The sizes of the main tables are as follows:
