RESOLVE
RESOLVE refers to whether targets have been resolved to account for
duplicates in overlapping Legacy Surveys imaging. The northern and southern
imaging footprints overlap and are resolved to only retain targets in the
northern imaging that are both at Dec. > 32.375 degrees and north of the
Galactic Plane. Targets that have been resolved are in directories named
“resolve” and targets that have not been resolved are in directories
named “noresolve”.
Under each “resolve”, data are stored in a BACKUP directory named supp
prior to version 0.50.0 of the desitarget code and backup for
0.50.0, or later, of the desitarget code. The choice of backup
versus supp is semantic, and files in the BACKUP directory are
similarly constructed.
