The Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS) is a wide-field two-band photometric survey of the northern Galactic Cap (5400 sq. deg) using the 90Prime imager on the 2.3 m Bok telescope at Kitt Peak. It is a four-year collaboration between the National Astronomical Observatory of China and Steward Observatory, the University of Arizona, serving as one of the three imaging surveys to provide photometric input catalogs for target selection of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) project. This is the First Data Release of BASS obtained by Bok telescope from January 2015 to July 2016, contains single-epoch images, single-epoch catalogs, and co-added catalogs. About 41% of the whole survey has been completed.
