GAMA (Galaxy And Mass Assembly) [1] is a joint European-Australasian project based on spectroscopic observations using the AAOmega multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT).
This resource contains the ASPIC [2] value added catalogues on a selection of GAMA DR3 sources. To the GAMA DR3 photometry - Baldry et al. 2018 (2018MNRAS.474.3875B) and Liske et al. 2015 (2015MNRAS.452.2087L) - the ASPIC team added physical properties computed with Le Phare [3] and CIGALE [4] using the GAZPAR [5] service, as well as line informations obtained by processing the GAMA spectra with the Slinefit software (Schreiber et al., 2018 - 2018A&A...618A..85S).
The GAMA information is coming from G02TilingCat, SpecAll, and G02CFHTLSInputCat in G02InputCat(v07). The GAMA spectral features are coming from GaussFitComplex in SpecLineSFR (v05).
To this, the ASPIC team added MAG_AUTO magnitudes for GALEX (~5600 objects), WIRCam Ks (~14000 objects, LAM observations), and LAM WIRCam Y-band magnitudes described in Pipien et al. 2018 (2018A&A...616A..55P). These magnitudes were added by cross-matching the catalogues with a 1 arc-second radius.
Only the sources with a NQ quality better or equal to 2, CFHTLS magnitudes in all the bands, and a reliable Y-band were kept, resulting in a catalogue of almost 32000 objects.
The GAMA information is coming from SpecAll in SpecCat (v27), ApMatchedCat in ApMatchedPhotom (v06), GaussFitComplex in SpecLineSFR (v05), and MagPhys (v06).
Only the sources with a NQ quality better or equal to 2 and reliable measurements in all the bands were kept, resulting in a catalogue of about 119000 objects.
ASPIC (Archives Spectrophotométriques Publiques Intégrées au CeSAM) is the public spectro-photometric archive of the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille data-centre (CeSAM, Centre de donnéeS Astrophysiques de Marseille). We give access to spectro-photometric data with value additions like physical parameters, photometric redshifts, and spectra line measurements.
GAMA is a joint European-Australasian project based around a spectroscopic campaign using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The GAMA input catalogue is based on data taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. Complementary imaging of the GAMA regions is being obtained by a number of independent survey programmes including GALEX MIS, VST KiDS, VISTA VIKING, WISE, Herschel-ATLAS, GMRT and ASKAP providing UV to radio coverage. GAMA is funded by the STFC (UK), the ARC (Australia), the AAO, and the participating institutions. The GAMA website is http://www.gama-survey.org/.
If your paper makes use of GAMA data products based on VISTA VIKING data, please also include the following: Based on observations made with ESO Telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under programme ID 179.A-2004.
If your paper makes use of GAMA data products based on VST KiDS data, please also include the following: Based on observations made with ESO Telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under programme ID 177.A-3016.
