VO Inside: CALIFA Survey Data Release
From the post:
The Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area Survey (CALIFA) is observing approximately 600 galaxies in the local universe using 250 observing nights with the PMAS/PPAK integral field spectrophotometer, mounted on the Calar Alto 3.5 m telescope. The first data release occurred on the 1st of November 2012. This DR comprises 200 datacubes corresponding to 100 CALIFA objects (one per setup: V500 and V1200). The data have been fully reduced, quality tested, and are scientifically useful.
The CALIFA survey team provides information here about accessing data with Topcat and other VO Tools.
