Description

VTSCat is the catalog of high-level data products from all publications of the VERITAS collaboration.

This is release version v2.0.3 adding publications from end of 2022 to mid of 2023.

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. Please check also the README file and all documentation linked to the README.

VTSCat supplements the HEASARC catalogue of VERITAS results, accessible through this link. VTSCat is inspired and derived from gamma-cat.
