cds-question@unistra.frsurveysgalaxiescatalogsredshiftedvisible-astronomysloan-photometryinfrared-photometryThe Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey has been operating since 2008 February on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope using the AAOmega fibre-fed spectrograph facility to acquire spectra with a resolution of R~1300 for 120862 Sloan Digital Sky Survey selected galaxies. The target catalogue constitutes three contiguous equatorial regions centred at 9h (G09), 12h (G12) and 14.5h (G15) each of 12x4deg^2^ to limiting fluxes of r_pet_<19.4, r_pet_<19.8 and r_pet_<19.4 mag, respectively (and additional limits at other wavelengths). Spectra and reliable redshifts have been acquired for over 98 per cent of the galaxies within these limits. Here we present the survey footprint, progression, data reduction, redshifting, re-redshifting, an assessment of data quality after 3yr, additional image analysis products (including ugrizYJHK photometry, Sersic profiles and photometric redshifts), observing mask and construction of our core survey catalogue (GamaCore). From this we create three science-ready catalogues: GamaCoreDR1 for public release, which includes data acquired during year 1 of operations within specified magnitude limits (2008 February to April); GamaCoreMainSurvey containing all data above our survey limits for use by the GAMA Team and collaborators; and GamaCoreAtlasSV containing year 1, 2 and 3 data matched to Herschel-ATLAS science demonstration data. These catalogues along with the associated spectra, stamps and profiles can be accessed via the GAMA website: http://www.gama-survey.org/2011MNRAS.413..971Dhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/413/971CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-tohttp://www.gama-survey.org/dr1/YR1public.php : GAMA Data release 1 PageII/282 : The SDSS Photometric Catalog, DR 6 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2007)VII/241 : The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (Croom+ 2004)VII/250 : The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) (2dFGRS, 1998-2003)VII/259 : 6dF galaxy survey final redshift release (Jones+, 2009)J/MNRAS/372/425 : 2dF-SDSS Luminous Red Galaxy Survey, 2SLAQ (Cannon+, 2006)J/PASP/111/438 : Updated Zwicky catalog (UZC) (Falco+, 1999)J/MNRAS/392/19 : The 2dF-SDSS QSO survey (Croom+, 2009)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/413/971https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/413/971http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/413/971https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/413/971https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/413/971http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/413/971GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/413/971/gamacore (Galaxy catalogue containing all SDSS galaxies within the GAMA regions, including GAMA-matched photometry and first year redshifts, GamaCoreDR1)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/971/gamacore?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/971/gamacore?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/971/gamacore?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true174.00598390.72092720.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/413/971/extra (Galaxy catalogue containing the same columns as GamaCoreDR1, for all objects that are not within the r band survey limit, GamaCoreExtraDR1)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/971/extra?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/971/extra?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/413/971/extra?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true211.81061860.77848810.005555555555555556Associated datahttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/assocdata/?obs_collection=J/MNRAS/413/9714/1622 1642 1685 5/1024-1026 5461-5463 5468-5469 6399 6479 6483-6484 6486-6487 6492 6501 6512 6563 6572 6739 6748 6825-6828 6830 6912 6/4108 4112-4114 4128 8200 8202 21837-21839 21841-21843 21861 21881 21884 25589-25591 25593-25595 25909-25911 25913-25915 25925-25927 25929-25931 25940 25942-25943 25972-25974 25976-25978 26000-26001 26003 26012-26013 26015 26052-26054 26056-26058 26249-26251 26266 26296-26298 26949-26951 26981 26996-26998 27277-27279 27290 27297-27299 27318 27324 27652-27654 27656-27658 40957-40959 45050-450518.305533028865447e-20 3.5010283109654867e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/413/971?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/MNRAS/413/971/gamacoreGalaxy catalogue containing all SDSS galaxies within the GAMA regions, including GAMA-matched photometry and first year redshifts, GamaCoreDR1GAMAGAMA identification numbermeta.id;meta.mainintrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
