UVES_SQUAD_DR1

This is a database of 467 high-resolution quasar spectra from the data archive of the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) on the European Southern Observatory's 8-metre-diameter Very Large Telescope.

DR1 is documented in the paper:
Murphy M.T., Kacprzak G.G., Savorgnan G.A.D., Carswell R.F., 2018, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, accepted, arXiv:1810.06136
Please cite the paper if you make use of DR1.

The main repository for this work is the UVES_SQUAD_DR1 GitHub repository. Please see that page for all files except for the spectra themselves.

This gDMCP page hosts the DR1 spectra, including the following:

DR1_Final_Spectra.tar.gz:
Final DR1 spectra of all 467 quasars.
Individual final spectra – [DR1 quasar name]_Final_Spectrum.tar.gz:
The final spectrum of each quasar is available individually as a gzipped tar file containing the FITS spectrum and the UPL file used in UVES_popler to generate it.
Individual data reduction files – [DR1 quasar name]_Reduction.tar.gz:
Reduction scripts and all intermediate and final data reduction products for individual quasars as a gzipped tar file. These are required to recreate the final DR1 spectrum of a quasar using the UPL file. Users can also use the UPL file as a starting point for modifying the final spectrum or improving various aspects of the spectrum.
