Data documentation

Data Preview 0.2 (DP0.2)

DP0.2 is the second phase of the Data Preview 0 program using precursor data (simulated images from the DESC DC2 data challenge). For the first time, all the derived data products have been generated “in-house” on an early version of the Rubin processing infrastructure using version 23.0 of the LSST Science Pipelines. As a result, the data model is significantly different from the DP0.1 dataset.
