v1 v2 14 14 == Project Goals == 15 15 16 The DECam Legacy Survey of the SDSS Equatorial Sky has been approved tocreate16 The DECam Legacy Survey of the SDSS Equatorial Sky will create 17 17 a public optical imaging survey to complement the spectroscopic database of SDSS, SDSS-II, 18 SDSS-III/BOSS and the start of SDSS-IV/eBOSS. We will image 6700 deg^2^ of this footprint 19 using the DECam instrument from Fall 2014 through Spring 2017. The PIs are committed 20 to enabling the science cases of collaboration members and to provide the promised 21 catalog-level public data releases every 3 months during the period of the survey. 18 SDSS-III/BOSS and the start of SDSS-IV/eBOSS. We will image 6700 deg^2^ of this footprint 19 in ''g'',''r'', and ''z'' using the DECam instrument at the Blanco 4m telescope. NOAO has committed 20 64 nights to this project; time will be assigned from 2014B to 2017A. The project is responsible 21 for delivering reduced and calibrated data and catalogs to collaborators and NOAO and to make 22 these data products publicly available in a timely manner. The PIs are committed 23 to enabling a scientifically productive and open collaboration and aim to provide the data required to support the science 24 cases of collaboration members. 22 25 23 26 == Membership == 24 27 25 Co-I’s are participants of the Legacy program. Students and postdocs working directly with 28 Co-I’s are participants of the Legacy program and share responsibility for its success. 29 Collaboration members are encouraged to work together on 30 projects of common interest. Students and postdocs working directly with 26 31 those co-I’s will be added as participants upon request to the PIs. Additional requests for membership 27 would be expected to bring value to the collaboration, and w ouldbe considered on an individual basis.32 would be expected to bring value to the collaboration, and will be considered on an individual basis. 28 33 Applicants for membership should submit requests describing their proposed project or collaboration 29 34 with an existing project. The PIs will consult with leads of posted projects to avoid conflicts with those projects. … … 31 36 == Data access == 32 37 33 Raw data for this program is immediately public.

A set of reductions as laid out in the Data Release Plan 34 39 will be made public on approximately 3-month timescales, as promised in the approved NOAO program. 35 40 Members will have access to the contents of these releases prior to those releases, with the only restriction … … 38 43 Data products, software, analyses, and ancillary data sets produced by any group of participants and not 39 44 included in the Data Release Plan are proprietary to that group, unless and until explicitly shared with other participants. 40 41 == Publications ==42 43 Technical and scientific publications will be expected to follow the standards of scholarly44 publications.
