tiles

Spectra, coadds, and redshifts organized per tile are under tiles/GROUPTYPE/TILEID/GROUPID. These come in various groups (GROUPTYPE), e.g. whether they are data from a single exposure, a single night, all data for a given tile across all nights, or a custom combination.

Related: all data for a given patch of sky, including data grouped across overlapping tiles and coadds of targets observed on multiple tiles, are organized under the healpix directories.

GROUPTYPE can be one of:

cumulative

Coadds of all spectra on a given tile across all nights.

pernight

Coadds of all spectra on a given tile in a given night.

perexp

Spectra grouped by tile and then exposure.

1x_depth

Selected custom subsets of exposures of deep (\(N>>1\) exposures) tiles to achieve a combined depth for each subset matching the main survey depth. That is, they are subsets of the total exposures taken for that tile, selected to achieve a specific depth, for systematics comparisons with the full depth coadds+redshifts in the cumulative group that has all exposures for each tile.

4x_depth

Similar to 1x_depth, but selected to achieve a combined depth of 4x the main survey depth.

lowspeed

Coadds of deep tiles using only exposures taken under poor observing conditions, for systematics checks vs. coadds using data taken under normal/good conditions. “lowspeed” refers to the rate at which S/N is accumulated.

Other custom GROUPTYPE may appear in future produtions, and not every production will include every GROUPTYPE.

The GROUPID depends on the GROUPTYPE:

GROUPTYPE

GROUPID

cumulative

YEARMMDD NIGHT - all data through that night

pernight

YEARMMDD NIGHT - only data from that night

perexp

EXPID - only data from that single exposure

1x_depth

subset number

4x_depth

subset number

lowspeed

subset number

e.g. spectra, coadds, and redshifts for all exposures of tile 80605 observed on 20210109 are under tiles/pernight/80605/20210109, while all data for tile 80605 for all nights through 20210205 (including previous nights like 20210109) are under tiles/cumulative/80605/20210205.
