Detailed description of the data product

This output product is a MOC Partial map collecting the probability of observing a galaxy type/redshift bin at a given position of the sky.

It includes the VisibilityMaskMOC metadata, a container with a FITS file (of type le3.id.vmpz.mocvisibilitymask) describing the depth map for the survey in MOC HEALPix format, for a given observed band/instrument (Euclid/EXT), and a raw description with polygons of the envelope of the sky covered is added as well to ease future queries on the product (SpatialCoverage metadata, spatialFootprint). Finally, the mask parameters VisibilityMaskMOCParams can optionally be associated to the product.

Keywords (Primary HDU)

The primary HDU is expected to contain the following keywords, characterizing important parameters of the input product:

  1. DATE-OBS: start of observation with format ‘yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss’ [StringKeyword]

  2. DATE-END: end of observation with format ‘yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss’ [StringKeyword]

  3. TELESCOP: name of the telescope [StringKeyword]

  4. INSTRUME: name of the instrument [StringKeyword]

  5. FILTER: name of the filter [StringKeyword]

  6. FILTLST: selection of filter if intersection of multiple footprints [StringKeyword]

  7. TILEID: identifier of the MER Tile processed (-1 if multiple Tiles) [IntegerKeyword]

  8. LISTID: identifier of a MER list of tiles product (-1 if single Tile) [StringKeyword]

  9. NSIDE_WK: Nside parameter used for frame->HEALPix [StringKeyword]

  10. BITSEL: identifier of the bit of combination of bits used in the depth map (e.g. 0 for least significant bit,..,18) [StringKeyword]

  11. DEPTHEST: estimator used for depth computation [StringKeyword]

  12. BINSEL: Identifier for the selection of the bin/population [StringKeyword]

and basic software parameters:

  1. SOFTNAME: name of software used [StringKeyword]

  2. SOFTVERS: version of software used [StringKeyword]

Partial MOC Footprint Table (First Extension, Binary Table)

The following keywords are used to describe what MOC conventions are followed:

  1. TTYPE1 (= ‘UNIQ’) [StringKeyword]

  2. TFORM1 (= ‘K’) [StringKeyword]

  3. TTYPE2 (= ‘WEIGHT’) [StringKeyword]

  4. TFORM2 (= ‘E’) [StringKeyword]

  5. PIXTYPE (= ‘HEALPIX’) [StringKeyword]

  6. ORDERING (= ‘NUNIQ’) [StringKeyword]

  7. COORDSYS (= ‘C’=celestial, ‘E’=ecliptic or ‘G’=galactic) [StringKeyword]

  8. MOCORDER (best HEALPix order) [IntegerKeyword]

  9. MOCTYPE [StringKeyword]

  10. DATE [StringKeyword]

  11. EXTNAME (= ‘COVERAGE_MASK’) [StringKeyword]

The table is then expected to contain the following columns:

  1. UNIQ: index of pixel [K, int64]

  2. WEIGHT: (floating-point) weight in [0,1] giving the probability of detection of a given population/bin [E, float32]
