The early data release (EDR) catalogue is published in Allen et al. (2014). It encapsulates the physical properties of the 107 galaxies in 22 fields, which also include observation and quality flags. The catalogue is TOPCAT-friendly and can be downloaded from the following URL:

The table below describes each field in the EDR catalogue and lists its provenance from the GAMA data archive (the name of the data management unit). If you require more information, please visit the EDR page, or contact us on feedback
