Description
VTSCat is the catalog of high-level data products from all publications of the [VERITAS collaboration](https://veritas.sao.arizona.edu/).
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
A detailed description of VTSCat can be found in [A. Acharyya et al 2023 Res. Notes AAS 7 6](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/acb147). Please check also the README.md file and all documentation linked to the README.
VTSCat supplements the HEASARC catalogue of VERITAS results, accessible through [this link](https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/all/verimaster.html). VTSCat is inspired and derived from [gamma-cat](https://github.com/gammapy/gamma-cat).
