This page describes the Guadalupe value-added catalog, which will be
publicly released as part of the DESI Data Release 1 (DESI/DR1) sometime in
2024 (exact date TBD).
Please refer to the :ref:`acknowledgments` section for the conditions for using this VAC.
Note
We only document the v2.0 version of this VAC; the v1.0 version is publicly accessible but has been deprecated and is not documented further.
