Batch download using wget

The KiDS-ESO-DR1 data products are stored in 2 archives: the ESO Science Archive and the Astro-WISE archive. The data products have been created using the Astro-WISE system aided by additional software for final cataloging (KIDSCAT) and masking (Pulecenella). Subsequently, the data have been exported to outside Astro-WISE to obtain the format requested by ESO.
It is important to realize there are some differences between the data files that can be retrieved via ESO and via Astro-WISE, but that these differences are only between the meta-data. The pixel data are identical between the data products available at ESO and via Astro-WISE!

Batch download of all data products (calibrated, stacked images, weight frames, masks, and single-band source lists), in the same format as available via the ESO Science archive (but stored on the Astro-WISE data servers), is possible using wget. Use the following wget input files:

• Coadds: kids_dr1.0_sci_wget.txt
• Weight frames: kids_dr1.0_wei_wget.txt
• Masks: kids_dr1.0_msk_wget.txt
• Source lists (DETECT_THRESH = 1.5): kids_dr1.0_src_wget.txt
