cds-question@unistra.frsurveysgalaxiescatalogsvisible-astronomysloan-photometryWe present the first Public Data Release (PDR-1) of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Survey (VIPERS). It comprises 57204 spectroscopic measurements together with all additional information necessary for optimal scientific exploitation of the data, in particular the associated photometric measurements and quantification of the photometric and survey completeness. VIPERS is an ESO Large Programme designed to build a spectroscopic sample of =~100000 galaxies with i_AB_<22.5 and 0.5<z<1.2 with high sampling rate (=~45%). The survey spectroscopic targets are selected from the CFHTLS-Wide five-band catalogues in the W1 and W4 fields. The final survey will cover a total area of nearly 24 deg^2^, for a total comoving volume between z=0.5 and 1.2 of =~4x10^7^(Mpc/h)^3^ and a median galaxy redshift of z=~0.8. The release presented in this paper includes data from virtually the entire W4 field and nearly half of the W1 area, thus representing 64% of the final dataset. We provide a detailed description of sample selection, observations and data reduction procedures; we summarise the global properties of the spectroscopic catalogue and explain the associated data products and their use, and provide all the details for accessing the data through the survey database (http://vipers.inaf.it) where all information can be queried interactively.2014A&A...562A..23Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/562/A23CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/317 : The CFHTLS Survey (T0007 release) (Hudelot+ 2012)III/250 : The VIMOS VLT deep survey (VVDS-DEEP) (Le Fevre+ 2005)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/562/A23https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/562/A23http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/562/A23https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/562/A23https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/562/A23http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/562/A23GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/562/A23/photo (VIPERS photometric catalog in the CFHTLS W1 and W4 fields)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/562/A23/photo?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/562/A23/photo?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/562/A23/photo?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true30.28691611-5.380836940.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/A+A/562/A23/spectro (VIPERS spectroscopic catalog in the CFHTLS W1 and W4 fields)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/562/A23/spectro?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/562/A23/spectro?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/562/A23/spectro?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true30.29446389-5.375320.0055555555555555565/4421-4422 4425 4759 4764-4766 6/17679 17683 17692-17694 17698-17699 17704-17705 17708-17709 17712-17714 17730 19035 19047 19053 19068 19210 19232https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/562/A23?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/562/A23/photoVIPERS photometric catalog in the CFHTLS W1 and W4 fieldsVIPERSVIPERS number (G1)meta.id;meta.mainlongprimaryRAJ2000J2000 Righ Ascension in decimal degrees (alpha)degpos.eq.ra;meta.mainindexedDEJ2000J2000 Declination in decimal degrees (delta)degpos.eq.dec;meta.mainindexedumag? u magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0005 (2)magphot.mag;em.opt.Udoublenullablee_umag? rms uncertainty on umag (AB) (erru)magstat.error;phot.mag;em.opt.Udoublenullablegmag? g magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0005 (2)magphot.mag;em.opt.Bdoublenullablee_gmag? rms uncertainty on gmag (AB) (errg)magstat.error;phot.mag;em.opt.Bdoublenullablermag? r magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0005 (2)magphot.mag;em.opt.Rdoublenullablee_rmag? rms uncertainty on rmag (AB) (errr)magstat.error;phot.mag;em.opt.Rdoublenullableimagi magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0005 (2)magphot.mag;em.opt.Idoublee_imagrms uncertainty on imag (AB) (erri)magstat.error;phot.mag;em.opt.Idoublezmag? z magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0005 (2)magphot.mag;em.opt.Idoublenullablee_zmag? rms uncertainty on zmag (AB) (errz)magstat.error;phot.mag;em.opt.IdoublenullableuT07? u magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0007 (3)magphot.mag;em.opt.Udoublenullablee_uT07? error on uT07 (3)magstat.errordoublenullablegT07? g magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0007 (3)magphot.mag;em.opt.Bdoublenullablee_gT07? error on gT07 (3)magstat.errordoublenullablerT07? r magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0007 (3)magphot.mag;em.opt.Rdoublenullablee_rT07? error on rT07 (3)magstat.errordoublenullableiT07? i magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0007 (3)magphot.mag;em.opt.Idoublenullablee_iT07? error on iT07 (3)magstat.errordoublenullableyT07? y magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0007 (3)magphot.mag;em.IR.Jdoublenullablee_yT07? error on yT07 (3)magstat.errordoublenullablezT07? z magnitude (AB) from CFHTLS T0007 (3)magphot.mag;em.opt.Idoublenullablee_zT07? error on zT07 (3)magstat.errordoublenullabledUG?
