The Archive is formed with all files measured with ARcetri Near Infrared CAmera ( ARNICA). Each files contains (in FITS format) or a single exposure or the mean of single exposures taken at the same telescope position. The filer used can be either a Johnson broad band infrared filter (J, H, K), or a narrow band filter (see ARNICA) page for details). Most measures was acquired at the TIRGO telescope, while a smaller sample cames from the few telescopes Arnica was ported to (WHT, NOT, VATT and TNG). All frame are in FITS format and are 256x256 pixels in size. The archive contains more than 250.000 frames. Most files belongs to a compound measure (we call them "a mosaic").
DOLORES (Device Optimized for the LOw RESolution) is a focal reducer instrument installed at the Nasmyth B focus of the TNG. The detector is a 2048 x 2048 E2V 4240 Thinned back-illuminated, deep-depleted, Astro-BB coated CCD with a pixel size of 13.5 µ. The scale is 0.252 arcsec/px which yields a field of view of about 8.6 x 8.6 arcmin. The instrument allows imaging through broad and narrow band filters as well as spectroscopic observations with resolving powers between RS=~500 and RS=~6000. A multi-slit mode, based on custom masks manufactured by a dedicate cutting machine, is also available. Please note that MOS programs are bound to strict constraints on the number of masks and on the time necessary to design and manufacture them. In particular, each program can request up to a maximum of 5 masks per night and 10 masks per observing run.
NICS (Near Infrared Camera Spectrometer) is the TNG infrared (0.9-2.5 µm) multimode instrument which is based on a HgCdTe Hawaii 1024x1024 array. Its observing capabilities include imaging (4.2' x 4.2' f.o.v.), high-throughput low resolution spectroscopy (RS=50-500), medium resolution spectoscopy (max-R=2500), imaging polarimetry, spectropolarimetry and, when coupled to the adaptive optics module, nearly diffraction limited imaging.
OIG is a CCD camera for direct imaging at optical wavelengths (between 0.32 nd 1.1 microns) for the TNG. It is mounted on the Nasmyth A Adapter interface. OIG is designed to host a variety of CCD chips or mosaics for a field of view up to 10 arcmin. At the moment it is equipped with a mosaic of two thinned and back-illuminated EEV 42-80 CCDs with 2048 x 4096 pixels each (pixel size of 13.5 microns). The resulting pixel scale is 0.072 arcsec/pix for a total field of view of about 4.9 x 4.9 arcmin.
This catalog contains the surface brightness measurements of ~41500 galaxies detected in the B images of the WINGS cluster survey. For each galaxy B magnitude, mean surface brightness, effective radius, Sersic index and axial ratio are given, together with their errors. These global parameters were obtained by simultaneously fitting the major and minor axis light growth curves of galaxies with a 2D flattened Sersic-law, convolved by the appropriate, space-varying PSF, which was previously evaluated by the tool itself.

The catalog gives the measurements of the optical lines equivalent widths and statistical errors for a sample of ~4400 objects detected in 48 WINGS clusters for which the spectrum is available and reliable. Emission lines have negative EWs, and absorption lines positive EWs, with all the quantities given at rest frame. Spectra were obtained with WYFFOS@WHT and 2dF@AAT and have a resolution of 6 and 9 AA FWHM, respectively. The wavelength coverage ranges from ∼ 3590 to ∼ 6800 AA for the WHT observations, while spectra taken at the AAT cover the ∼ 3600 to ∼ 8000 AA domain. For each object the catalog gives also the magnitude and radial completeness (or weight) that, once combined, describe the global completeness of the sample. Finally a spectral classification is available, made on the basis of the presence/absence and intensity of spectral lines (following Poggianti et al., 1999): 1=e(a); 2=e(b); 3=e(c); 4=k; 5=k+a; 6=a+k.
This catalog contains the surface brightness measurements of ~71700 galaxies detected in the K images of the WINGS cluster survey for a subsample of 26 clusters observed with the UKIRT WFCAM. For each galaxy K magnitude, mean surface brightness, effective radius, Sersic index and axial ratio are given, together with their erros. These global parameters were obtained by simultaneously fitting the major and minor axis light growth curves of galaxies with a 2D flattened Sersic-law, convolved by the appropriate, space-varying PSF, which was previously evaluated by the tool itself.

For each WINGS galaxy with V absolute magnitude brighter than -16, the local density calculated as the Log (decimal) of the number of galaxies with M_V <= -19.5 per Mpc**2 is given. It is computed from the circular area enclosing the first 10 closest galaxies, plus the background counts expected from Berta et al. (2006). The Local Densities are also corrected for border effects.
The Coverage field fraction are also given, both at CCDX, i.e. the fraction of the circular area of radius CCDX and centered in the X-ray center, which is included in the field of the CCD mosaics, and at CCDB (centered in the BCG).
For clusters without velocity dispersion the distances are given in pixels and NOT in R200.
These clusters are A311, A2665, A3164, and Z1261.
