Detailed Description of the Data Product

The bias correction is dependent on the weak lensing weight computation, so this product contains a WeakLensingWeightMethod element which specify the method name and a FITS binary table containing the bias correction to be applied to the PDZs produced by PHZ PF. The product contains also a TileIndexList which keep track of all the tiles to which belong the sources used to compute the bias correction.

Processing Element(s) creating/using the data product

  • This product is one final product of the PHZ bias correction pipeline. It is used to compute the tomographic bin mean photo Z and correct bias in PHZ.

Processing function using the data product

  • PHZ PF output product. To be used by L3

The table is expected to follow the format described by the phz.biasCorrectionMap version 0.9 description, which defines the following columns:

Column name

Description

Unit

BIAS_ID

The bias correction identifier

NA

CORRECTION

The shift to apply to the PDZs of all objects having this bias identifier

NA

and has a header keyword: WLMETHOD containing again the name of the weak lensing weight computation method.

The consumers of this product should use the value of the BIAS_ID column of the Photometric Redshift Catalog product to retrieve the correct shift value from this map, to apply the bias correction.
