DESIVAST VAC Review (DR1)

[dylanagreen]

Draft directory: /global/cfs/cdirs/desi/users/hrincon/DESIVAST_V1 24 catalog files, 25 total

Initial Checks:

• [x] Includes README
• [x] Columns in ALLCAPS
• [ ] Extension names in ALLCAPS
• [ ] Files include units

Initial Notes:

• Your FITS files don't have EXTNAMEs, could you please add some to make it easier to access the table by EXTNAME instead of indices?
• Generally we request that FITS files include column units. You do have the units documented in the README, would it be possible to also propagate those to the fits files themselves?
• Can you draft a short (~1-2 paragraph) summary of the VAC to include in the DR1 paper? For an example of what this would look like you can look at section 3.3.6 of the EDR paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.06308).
