Arp@VST is a filler project, thus the observations are executed even in non-ideal observing conditions and are scheduled to exploit the time filling to the maximum the available observing time at the VST telescope. Data reduction is performed only for targets completely observed in all the 4 photometric filters. To date, 8 objects have been completely observed, 7 of them were fully reduced and released to the scientific community through the ESO Science Archive Facility. Details on the Data Release can be found here.
