# # Set of rectangles defining the official BOSS survey limits. # There are two general areas, the Northern Galactic Cap area # (NGC) and the Southern Galactic Cap area (SGC). # # The rectangles are defined in "corrected survey coordinates", # "ceta" and "clambda", which are very similar to the regular # SDSS survey coordinates (eta and lambda). # # Corrected survey coordinates are an ordinary spherical coordinate # system with ceta corresponding to a longitude (like phi) and clambda # corresponding to a latitude (like 90-theta). ceta is usually taken # to span the range [-180., 180.], and clambda to span the range [-90., 90]. # (The only substantive difference from eta/lambda is in the choice # of these ranges). # # To fully specify the rotation of the coordinates: # (ceta,clambda)=(0,90.) corresponds to (ra,dec)=(275.,0.) # (ceta,clambda)=(57.5,0.) corresponds to (ra,dec)=(0.,90.) # (ceta,clambda)=(0.,0.) corresponds to (ra,dec)=(185.,32.5) # All values are in degrees, and here (ra,dec) is on the # J2000 system. # # Software to convert from ceta/clambda to ra/dec is provided in # idlutils for IDL users (in the code "csurvey2eq" and "eq2csurvey"), # as well as in the SDSSPix software package distributed by Ryan # Scranton. # # For each rectangle in the structure, we provide: # # areaname - area that polygon is in (NGC or SGC) # cetaMin, cetaMax - limits of rectangle in corrected-eta coord (deg) # clambdaMin, clambdaMax - limits in corrected-lambda coord (deg) # area - solid angle covered by rectangle (deg^2) # # A corresponding file, boss_survey.ply, is provided in mangle-style # format. # typedef struct { int iboss; char areaname[30]; double cetaMin; double cetaMax; double clambdaMin; double clambdaMax; double area; } BOSSGEOMETRY; BOSSGEOMETRY 0 SGC 111.25000 133.75000 -25.00000 35.00000 1284.249 BOSSGEOMETRY 1 SGC 133.75000 138.75000 -25.00000 48.00000 333.9665 BOSSGEOMETRY 2 SGC 138.75000 141.25000 -30.00000 48.00000 178.0674 BOSSGEOMETRY 3 SGC 141.25000 153.75000 -40.00000 48.00000 992.6010 BOSSGEOMETRY 4 SGC 153.75000 158.75000 -40.00000 44.00000 383.1500 BOSSGEOMETRY 5 NGC -36.25000 -29.25000 -65.50000 52.00000 681.0064 BOSSGEOMETRY 6 NGC -29.25000 -27.00000 -63.50000 55.60000 221.7408 BOSSGEOMETRY 7 NGC -27.00000 14.50000 -63.50000 58.60000 4157.504 BOSSGEOMETRY 8 NGC -20.00000 14.50000 -65.30000 -63.50000 26.83142 BOSSGEOMETRY 9 NGC -20.00000 -14.00000 58.60000 62.00000 10.10587 BOSSGEOMETRY 10 NGC -14.00000 24.00000 58.60000 63.00000 81.55009 BOSSGEOMETRY 11 NGC 14.50000 36.25000 -52.00000 58.60000 2045.686 BOSSGEOMETRY 12 NGC 14.50000 29.00000 -60.00000 -52.00000 64.81370 BOSSGEOMETRY 13 NGC 14.50000 19.50000 -62.80000 -60.00000 6.701019 BOSSGEOMETRY 14 NGC 19.50000 24.50000 -61.20000 -60.00000 2.945369 BOSSGEOMETRY 15 NGC 29.00000 34.00000 -54.50000 -52.00000 7.478464 BOSSGEOMETRY 16 NGC 24.00000 36.25000 58.60000 62.00000 20.63283 BOSSGEOMETRY 17 NGC 36.25000 41.25000 -48.60000 -15.00000 140.7448 BOSSGEOMETRY 18 NGC 36.25000 41.25000 20.80000 57.00000 138.5308
