Abstract
We present the first major release of data from the SAMI Galaxy Survey. This data release focuses on the emission-line physics of galaxies. Data Release One includes data for 772 galaxies, about 20 per cent of the full survey. Galaxies included have the redshift range 0.004 < z < 0.092, a large mass range (7.6 < logM*/M⊙ < 11.6), and star formation rates of ~10-4 to ~101M⊙ yr-1. For each galaxy, we include two spectral cubes and a set of spatially resolved 2D maps: single- and multi-component emission-line fits (with dust-extinction corrections for strong lines), local dust extinction, and star formation rate. Calibration of the fibre throughputs, fluxes, and differential atmospheric refract..

The SAMI Galaxy Survey is based on observations made at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The Sydney/AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectrograph (SAMI) was developed jointly by the University of Sydney and the Australian Astronomical Observatory. The SAMI input catalogue is based on data taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the GAMA survey, and the VST ATLAS survey. The SAMI Galaxy Survey is funded by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astro-physics (CAASTRO), through project number CE 110001020, and other participating institutions.
