Surveys available through DIVA+

The Direct Imaging Virtual Archive, DIVA (see history here), is dedicated to high-contrast imaging surveys, and more particularly to the main high-level science products (HLSP) of these surveys, such as detection limits and position of candidates. The data from these surveys have been reduced by the scientific teams indicated below (for the SPHERE/SHINE survey, our data processing center has been strongly involved, especially up to level 2 data).

The survey data correspond to level 2 data (the list of available frame depends on the survey and is indicated in the table on DIVA+: PSF image, reduced image, detection limit, sensitivity map) and level 3 data (candidates) for some of those surveys. Through the DIVA+ portal, you can either access a survey as a single large file, or request data corresponding to individual targets from those dedicated surveys like for some SPHERE data. The data have been converted to HCI-FITS files (see format page).

16 surveys are currently available. The data have been obtained with various instruments: VLT/NACO, HST/NICMOS, VLT/SDI, MMT/SDI, Gemini North/NIRI, Gemini/NIRI, Spitzer/IRAC , Keck II/NIRC2/, Keck II/NIRI,Gemini South/NICI, SPHERE (first release of the SHINE survey)
