B/eso ESO Science Archive Catalog (ESO, 1991-2025)
European Southern Observatory Science Archive Catalog
<European Southern Observatory (2016)>
ADC_Keywords: Observatory log
Mission_Name: ESO
Description:
The ESO Science Archive Catalog contains a log of observations
performed with the ESO telescopes. Currently available in the
observation log are the data from the VLT, NTT, MPG/ESO 2.2m, and the
ESO 3.6m telescopes. The observations themselves are stored in an
off-line archive and have a proprietary period of one year. After this
period the archival data sets are available to the general
astronomical community of the ESO member states and Chile.
