Description

The plPlugMapM files for a given spectro load are searched for objects which were observed multiple times but are not of object type QA, SKY, REDDEN_STD, or SPECTROPHOTO_STD. The search interval for duplicates is +/-0.0003deg in RA and +/-0.0003deg in DEC. The spDuplicates file contains the results of this search.

Contents

A header and two schemas are contained within the spDuplicates file. The header lists the following info: outputDir the directory where the spDuplicates file will go (e.g., /data/dp3.b/data/spectro/duplicates) outputFile the name of the spDuplicates file (e.g., spDuplicates-DR1.2002Dec18.par) spectro1dDir the root directory under which the spSpec-$mjd-$plateName-$fiber.fit files sit (e.g., /data/dp7.a/DR1/data/spectro/1d_20) speclogDir the root directory under which the plPlugMapM files sit (e.g., /data/dp3.b/data/spectro/speclog) platesDir the directory where the plate list file sits (e.g., /data/dp7.a/DR1/doc/coverage) platesFile the name of the plate list file (e.g., plateradec.dr1spectro.par) The first schema lists the set of plates which were searched. The schema lists the duplicate objects themselves.

typedef struct {
    int    plate1;        # plate id of object 1 in duplicate pair
    int    mjd1;          # plate mjd of object 1 
    int    fiber1;        # fiber id of object 1
    char   objType1[20];  # object type of object 1
    int    plate2;        # plate id of object 2 in duplicate pair
    int    mjd2;          # plate mjd of object 2
    int    fiber2;        # fiber id of object 2
    char   objType2[20];  # object type of object 2
} DUPLIST;
Note: it is possible for there to be multiple entries for object 1 in the DUPLIST structure -- each with a different object 2 -- if this object was observed more than twice.
