GCRCatalogs v1.5.0
This release includes new redmapper and redmagic catalogs, a backward-incompatible change on the cosmoDC2 position angles (see below for details), and a few minor bug fixes.

cosmoDC2 position angles
Note the both the changes described below are not backward-compatible. However, additional quantities are provided to maintain backward-compatibility. Change your code if you require the old behaviors.
Changes in values
The default values for position_angle
in the cosmoDC2 catalog have changed from this version going forward. The values of position_angle
are now derived from the native quantity morphology/positionAngle
, rather than random values generated by the GCR reader that were used for DC2. The former values are still available as position_angle_true_dc2
.
Changes in definition
Furthermore, the sign convention for position_angle
has flipped and now increases to the East. The previous versions used the phosim convention (increasing to the West). The phosim convention values are available as position_angle_true_phosim
. Note also that, because position_angle
is used in the definition of the ellipticity components, these quantities have also changed. The quantities ellipticity_1_true_dc2
and ellipticity_2_true_dc2
supply the legacy values used for DC2.
