Detailed description of the data product

An XML data product containing MCMC chains fits tables from the LensMC method. This is one of the final outputs of the Shear Analysis pipeline, and will be passed on to the Shear Reconciliation pipeline.

This product will contain the following catalogContainer object pointing to a fits binary table:

  • LensMcChains

Since the storage is a binary table, the table and its header will be stored in the first extension, with the primary HDU being a default, empty image.

Output Catalog

This fits catalog will contain the following header keywords and columns:
