Multi-object spectroscopic observations of A523 were carried out at the TNG in 2012 December and 2014 January. We used the instrument DOLORES in MOS mode with the LR-B Grism. In summary, we observed six MOS masks for a total of 210 slits. The total exposure time was 3600s for three masks, 5400s for two masks and 7200s for the last one. <P />Our photometric observations were carried out with the Wide Field Camera (WFC), mounted at the prime focus of the 2.5-m INT telescope. We observed A523 in g, r and i Sloan-Gunn filters in photometric conditions and a seeing of ~1.4arcsec. (1 data file).
