HK band spectroscopy of 25 high-redshift galaxies obtained from the SINFONI/AMAZE Large Programme migrated to Phase 3

AMAZE - ''Assessing the Mass-Abundance redshift[-Z] Evolution'', is an ESO Large Programme aimed at determining the mass-metallicity relation and galaxy dynamics in the redshift range 3<z<5. Observations were performed with SINFONI in seeing limited mode at the VLT under the program ID 178.B-0838(A), (B), (C), PI: R. Maiolino.

The scientific goal of the large programme is to determine the gas metallicities by means of a combination of strong line diagnostics and trace the kinematics of the gas in these high redshift objects.

The full set of extracted 1-dimensional FITS spectra from the AMAZE/SINFONI survey, released in February 2011, have now been migrated to be compliant to the ESO Science Data Product Standard regarding format and header keywords requirements, and ingested in the ESO Science Archive Facility via the Phase 3 infrastructure. This migration enhanced the value of these products by adding useful information in the headers of the FITS files. Each spectrum comes with the associated preview and a summary table providing the basic target information (e.g. coordinates, redshifts, magnitudes). 1-d reduced spectra and ancillary products can be downloaded via the query forms for Science Data Products.

More details about the release can be found in the accompanying documentation.
