Abstract

To achieve the DES science goals, the DES Collaboration designed, built, and utilized the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), a 570 megapixel camera with a 3deg2 field of view installed at the prime focus of the 4m Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in northern Chile.

The first major release of processed DES data, DES DR1 (II/357), encompassed data products derived from the wide-area and the supernova surveys taken in the first three years of science operations (2013-August -- 2016-February).

Here we present the content, validation, and data access services for the second public DES data release, DES DR2. DES DR2 comprises coadded images of size 0.534deg2 and source catalogs, as well as calibrated single-epoch CCD images, from the processing of all six years of DES wide-area survey observations and all five years of DES supernova survey observations. DES DR2 contains roughly 18TB of coadd images and 3TB of tables. All DES DR1 data have been reprocessed as input into DES DR2.

DES was scheduled to observe for 760 distinct full or half nights between 2013 August 15 and 2019 January 9. The DES DR2 coadd images and catalogs are derived from a subset of the wide-area component of DES and include exposures collected during 681 distinct nights. See Section 2.

All magnitudes quoted in the text are in the AB system, and all astronomical coordinates are provided in the Gaia-CRF2 reference frame. All quoted uncertainties are 1σ (roughly 68% confidence interval) unless indicated otherwise.
