Distance key

The distance key maps from target names to distance in Mpc.

When the user requests to convolve to specific physical resolutions as part of derived product creation a physical distance is needed. This file provides that distance.

This file should be comma delimited. Each entry should have 2 columns, as described below.

  • Column 1: Target name.

  • Column 2: Distance to target in Mpc.
