The Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS) is a new wide-field legacy imaging survey in the northern Galactic cap using the 2.3 m Bok telescope. The survey will cover about 5400 deg(2) in the g and r bands, and the expected 5 sigma depths (corrected for the Galactic extinction) in these two bands are g = 24.0 and r = 23.4 mag (AB magnitude). BASS started observations in 2015 January. and had. completed about 41% of the. area as of 2016 July. The first data release contains calibrated images obtained in 2015 and 2016 and their corresponding single-epoch. and coadded catalogs. The actual depths of the. single-epoch images are g similar to 23.4 and r similar to 22.9 mag. The full depths of the. three epochs are g similar to 24.1 and r similar to 23.5 mag.
