General description: Manual inspections for SDSS-I, SDSS-II & BOSS spectroscopy classifications and redshifts. Files are organized under subdirectories of the inspector's name (NAME), such as "fpg" for the French Participation Group.
Naming convention: spInspect-PLATE4-MJD5.par
Approximate size: 20 kbytes.
File type: Yanny
Read by products: inspect_verify.pro (in idlspec2d)
Written by products: catplot.pro, inspectgen.pro, uuplotspec.pro
Required header keywords: none
Required column names:
typedef struct {
long plate; # Plate ID (must agree with file name)
long mjd; # Plate MJD
long fiberid; # Fiber ID 1-indexed (cannot appear twice in one file)
long boss_target1; # the boss_target1 target flag, defined in sdssMaskbits.par
float z_person; # Visually-inspected redshift
int class_person; # Visually-inspected classification:
# 0=not inspected or unknown, 1=star, 2=NELG (narrow emission-line galaxy), 3=QSO, 4=galaxy
int z_conf_person; # 0=not inspected or no confidence, 1,2=low confidence, 3,4=high confidence
} BOSSOBJECT
# The BOSSOBJECT structure should contain not more than one entry
# per fiber, and need not include all fibers. Un-inspected fibers
# could either be removed from the file, or included with class_person=0
# and z_conf_person=0.
#
# The BOSSOBJECT structure may optionally contain any number of other fields,
# such as ra, dec, mag[5], z_pipeline.
#
# Are the definitions of class_person, z_conf_person more specific
# from the 2SLAQ group?
