This release includes new redmapper and redmagic catalogs, a backward-incompatible change on the cosmoDC2 position angles (see below for details), and a few minor bug fixes.
Newly added catalogs
- `skysim5000_v1.1.1_redmapper_v0.8.5`: Redmapper catalog (v0.8.5) for `skysim5000_v1.1.1`
- `skysim5000_v1.1.1_redmagic_v0.8.5_highdens`: Redmagic catalog (v0.8.5) for `skysim5000_v1.1.1` for the high density sample
- `skysim5000_v1.1.1_redmagic_v0.8.5_highlum`: Redmagic catalog (v0.8.5) for `skysim5000_v1.1.1` for the high luminosity sample
(Thanks for erykoff for providing the above catalogs)
cosmoDC2 position angles
Note the both the changes described below are not backward-compatible. However, additional quantities are provided to maintain backward-compatibility. Change your code if you require the old behaviors.
Changes in values
The default values for `position_angle` in the cosmoDC2 catalog have changed from this version going forward. The values of `position_angle` are now derived from the native quantity `morphology/positionAngle`, rather than random values generated by the GCR reader that were used for DC2. The former values are still available as `position_angle_true_dc2`.
Changes in definition
Furthermore, the sign convention for `position_angle` has flipped and now increases to the East. The previous versions used the phosim convention (increasing to the West). The phosim convention values are available as `position_angle_true_phosim`. Note also that, because `position_angle` is used in the definition of the ellipticity components, these quantities have also changed. The quantities `ellipticity_1_true_dc2` and `ellipticity_2_true_dc2` supply the legacy values used for DC2.
