This page describes the Iron
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.
Data from the Iron
VAC can be accessed at any of the following links:

The following table summarizes the size and number of targets in each merged catalog.
Note
The last catalog listed in the table is a super-merge of all the preceding catalogs, i.e., a merge over all surveys and programs.
