VTSCat - the VERITAS data catalogue - pre-release v0.8.1
VTSCat is the catalog of high-level data products from all publications of the VERITAS collaboration.
The VTSCat data collection contains:
- high-level data like spectral flux points, light curves, spectral fits in human- and machine-readable yaml and ecsv file format
- tabled data like upper limits tables from dark matter searches or results on the extragalactic background in ecsv file format
- sky maps (wherever available) in FITS file format
This is a pre-release for testing and early publications.
A forthcoming research note will provide more details on the catalog. Please check the README file and all documentation linked to the README.
VTSCat supplements the HEASARC catalogue of VERITAS results (to be published). VTSCat is inspired and derived from gamma-cat.
If you are a previous VERITAS author and would like to be associated with this repository, please send an email to G. Maier.
