Hierarchical Progressive Survey Catalog

HiPSCat

Hierarchical Progressive Survey Catalog

A HiPSCat catalog is a partitioning of objects on a sphere. Its purpose is for storing data from large astronomy surveys, but could probably be used for other use cases where you have large data with some spherical properties.

Check out our ReadTheDocs site for more information on partitioning, installation, and contributing.
