Cluster Files

The TXPipe core is focused on 3x2pt (lensing + clustering) measurements, but the CLMM packages runs of its data selection steps within TXPipe. The files these stages use are described here.

Cluster Catalogs

Cluster catalogs are generated by cluster-finding algorithms like RedMapper (which are currently not run within TXPipe). They are an input to the stages in txpipe/extensions/clmm.

Cluster Shear Catalogs

The cluster shear catalog is generated in the CLClusterShearCatalogs stage. For each cluster, it lists the source galaxies which are nearby and behind that cluster. It records both the index into the original shear catalog, and the shear values rotated into the cluster frame, plus a distance from the cluster and a weight.

The cluster shear catalog structure is a little complicated - it contains a table of clusters, and for each of those clusters, and index into another table of source galaxies. The columns in the cluster shear catalog are:

The catalog group is a list of clusters, matching the order in the cluster catalog which this came from.

The index group is a list of galaxies around clusters.
