The ESO Simple Spectral Access service provides access to the 1D reduced spectra generated either by the principal investigators of ESO observations, or by an unattended ESO processing-pipeline that makes use of certified master calibrations. The spectra are FITS files adhering to the ESO Science Data Product standard, based on the Virtual Observatory Spectral Data Model standard (v1.0 for some spectra, and v2.0 for some others, use the VOCLASS FITS keyword to discern the two).
