Detailed Description of the Data Product

This data product contains the selected Data or Random catalog for the spectroscopic galaxy clustering analyses. It contains a minimal set of columns needed for the clustering analyses, namely the spatial coordinates and a weight.

Note that the Data and Random catalogs share the same data product definition.

This catalog is stored in a FITS file. The second HDU is a binary table extension that contains metadata in the keywords and the catalog in the data table.

Metadata

The metadata stored in the Data element of the XML contains useful information about the survey coverage. Here is a brief summary of the metadata:
