From DESI to Euclid: A Generative Bridge to Unbiased Galaxy Structures (Part 9 of 20)

Part 9 of 20. Synthetic Euclid VIS-band galaxy images generated from DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys r,z-band cutouts using an Image-to-Image Schrödinger Bridge (I2SB) model, over the Euclid Q1 footprint.

The full processed dataset covers 2,981,033 FITS cutouts packed into 1,235 tar archives grouped by HEALPix sky pixel (nside=64, NESTED ordering), ~1 GB each. Because Zenodo limits each record to 100 files and 50 GB, the full set is split across 20 records. This record publishes a 59-archive subset (RA 60.0–89.9°, Dec -60.1–-48.2°).

Integrity and provenance: checksums.tsv and desi2euclid_index.csv record the SHA256 of all 1,235 archives from this processing run, not just the ones published as downloadable files here. These values let this exact version of the data be independently verified in the future -- including before any analysis built on it has been published -- by recomputing an archive's SHA256 and comparing it against the recorded value, to confirm the file has not been modified, corrupted, or substituted since it was originally produced.

See README.md for the FITS layout (predicted VIS image, DESI g,r,z input -- of which only r,z were used to generate the prediction -- and prediction-uncertainty map), how to locate the archive for a given sky position, and how to run the integrity check.
