Pre-processing

Random catalog

The catalog of sources to be injected (provided through --injected-fn) should contain the following columns:

  • ra, dec (degree)

  • flux_g, flux_r, flux_z: including galactic extinction (nanomaggies)

  • sersic: Sersic index 1

  • shape_r, half light radius (arcsecond)

  • shape_e1, shape_e2: ellipticities 2

  • seed: random seed, to add noise

Examples of how to produce these catalogs are given in bin/preprocess.py.
