This product is proposed for inclusion in the SAS: yes

The VMSP distribution product is constructed from the Deep fields and is a calibration input for the random catalog :ref:`_DpdLE3IDVMSPRandomCatalog`. It is of interest for verification of the galaxy clustering pipeline.

Detailed Description of the Data Product
_________________________________________
.. DetailedDescStart

The distribution model characterizes the distribution of galaxy properties,
including the redshift, fluxes, size, etc. The distribution model is produced from the Euclid Deep-CPC catalog by the ``VMSP_Train`` processing element. It is an internal dataproduct that is used by ``VMSP_Sample``.

The format of the data file is not currently specified. When ``VMSP_Train`` is run
in `SHUFFLE` mode (now the only supported mode), the file is a FITS binary table
that contains a catalog of sources extracted from the Euclid Deep-CPC fields.

The format of the distribution model is subject to change, and is expected to be updated to describe the interloper galaxy distribution.
