Abstract: We present the catalog of ugri-bands photometry and morphometry for ∼1.7 million sources over the ∼21 square degree area of the Fornax deep survey (FDS) centered on the bright central galaxy NGC 1399. For a wider area, of ∼27 square degrees extending in the direction of NGC 1316, we provide gri photometry for ∼3.1 million sources. FDS is a survey carried out with the OMegaCAM camera on the VST telescope, and is a joint project that used the GTO time of NOVA (PI. R.F. Peletier) and the INAF survey VEGAS (PI. M. Capaccioli & E. Iodice). To improve the morphological characterization of sources, we generated multi-band image stacks by coadding the best-seeing gri-band single exposures with a cut at full width at half maximum FWHM≤0.9 arcsec. The final catalog contains: (i) source identification and position from the multi-band stacks; (ii) the calibrated and aperture corrected AB magnitudes derived from PSF photometry in all available bands; (iii) the uncorrected aperture and Kron-like magnitudes in all bands; (iv) the morphometric parameters (FWHM, CLASS_STAR, concentration index, flux radius, elongation and sharpness) for the multi- band stacks, as well as the latter for all other available bands. In addition to the photometry for the data available in the FDS image repository, the present release contains images and weight maps for the FDS field n. 8. The reference publication, with all the required details on the present catalog, is Cantiello et al. (2020, A&A 639, A136).
Other: This is a dynamic dataset; it is growing as new data is added. The DOI refers to the newest available dataset.
