Metadata Model¶
Maskbits¶
The mask bits for the DAP output files are pulled from IDLUTILS. A
default file is provided with the mangadap
distribution; however,
the DAP setup.py
file will also attempt to download the most
relevant file from the public SDSS SVN repository using the python
requests library.
If you’re unfamiliar with maskbits, see the SDSS Primer
See Using the pixel/spaxel masks for examples of how to use the mask bits.
Note
Some mask bits are informational, not necessarily indicating that the pixel should be ignored. Please read and understand the flags listed below to determine if it’s reasonable for your science case to simply ignore pixels with a non-zero mask value.
Some mask bits are still placeholders. They’re notional bits that are actually never set in the current version of the DAP.
The three bitmask groups for DAP output files are:
- MANGA_DAPQUAL: Global quality bit
- MANGA_DAPPIXMASK: Spaxel-by-spaxel bits for the DAP MAPS quantities
- MANGA_DAPSPECMASK:Pixel-by-pixel bits for the DAP model LOGCUBE data
These bitmask groups are further described and listed below. For reference, we also list the two DRP bitmask groups that the DAP uses to flag the data it analyzes.
MANGA_DRP3QUAL¶
The MaNGA DRP uses a single bit to summarize the quality of the data reduction. The DAP class used to handle these bits and the bit values are below.
Class Instantiation: mangadap.drpfits.DRPQuality3DBitMask
Key | Bit | Description |
---|---|---|
RETIRED | 0 | Bit retired from use |
BADDEPTH | 1 | IFU does not reach target depth |
SKYSUBBAD | 2 | Bad sky subtraction in one or more frames |
HIGHSCAT | 3 | High scattered light in one or more frames |
BADASTROM | 4 | Bad astrometry in one or more frames |
VARIABLELSF | 5 | LSF varies signif. between component spectra |
BADOMEGA | 6 | Omega greater than threshhold in one or more sets |
BADSET | 7 | One or more sets are bad |
BADFLUX | 8 | Bad flux calibration |
BADPSF | 9 | PSF estimate may be bad |
MANYDEAD | 10 | Many dead fibers |
BADHELIORV | 11 | MASTAR: High variance between stellar RVs |
CRITICAL | 30 | Critical failure in one or more frames |
The DAP essentially only uses the CRITICAL flag and only when constructing the MANGA_DAPQUAL flag value.
MANGA_DRP3PIXMASK¶
The MaNGA DRP flags the datacube data using a small set of bits that are a consolidation of the bits flagged during the data reduction. The DAP currently uses a single class to handle the bitmasks associated with either the 2D RSS files and the 3D datacubes. Below are the bits for the 3D datacubes:
Class Instantiation: mangadap.drpfits.DRPFitsBitMask
Key | Bit | Description |
---|---|---|
NOCOV | 0 | No coverage in cube |
LOWCOV | 1 | Low coverage depth in cube |
DEADFIBER | 2 | Major contributing fiber is dead |
FORESTAR | 3 | Foreground star |
DONOTUSE | 10 | Do not use this spaxel for science |
MANGA_DAPQUAL¶
There is a single summary maskbit MANGA_DAPQUAL
included in the
headers of both the MAPS and LOGCUBE files describing the overall
quality of the data.
The DAP class used to handle these bits and the
bit values are below.
Class Instantiation: mangadap.dapfits.DAPQualityBitMask
Key | Bit | Description |
---|---|---|
FORESTAR | 0 | There is a FORESTAR region within the data cube. |
BADZ | 1 | NSA redshift does not match derived redshift (placeholder) |
LINELESS | 2 | No emission lines in data cube (placeholder) |
PPXFFAIL | 3 | pPXF failed to fit this object (placeholder) |
SINGLEBIN | 4 | Voronoi binning resulted in all spectra in a single bin |
BADGEOM | 5 | Invalid input geometry; elliptical coordinates and effective radius are meaningless. |
DRPCRIT | 28 | Critical failure in DRP |
DAPCRIT | 29 | Critical failure in DAP |
CRITICAL | 30 | Critical failure in DRP or DAP |
Anything with the CRITICAL bit set in MANGA_DAPQUAL should generally not be used for scientific purposes.
MANGA_DAPPIXMASK¶
MANGA_DAPPIXMASK
is the 2D image bitmap used to describe the quality
of individual pixel measurements in the DAP MAPS
file.
The DAP class used to handle these bits and the
bit values are below.
Class Instantiation: mangadap.dapfits.DAPMapsBitMask
Key | Bit | Description |
---|---|---|
NOCOV | 0 | No coverage in this spaxel (propagated from DRP) |
LOWCOV | 1 | Low coverage in this spaxel (propagated from DRP) |
DEADFIBER | 2 | Major contributing fiber is dead (propagated from DRP) |
FORESTAR | 3 | Foreground star (propagated from DRP) |
NOVALUE | 4 | Spaxel was not included in analysis because it did not meet selection criteria |
UNRELIABLE | 5 | Value is deemed unreliable |
MATHERROR | 6 | Mathematical error in computing value |
FITFAILED | 7 | Fit optimization algorithm failed |
NEARBOUND | 8 | Fitted parameter is at or too near an imposed boundary |
NOCORRECTION | 9 | Appropriate correction for this parameter is not available |
MULTICOMP | 10 | Multi-component velocity features present |
DONOTUSE | 30 | Do not use this spaxel for science |
The most important flags are incorporated into the DONOTUSE
bit,
which indicates that a given pixel should not be used for science.
The NEARBOUND flag¶
The NEARBOUND
flag is used to signify that a returned parameter is
likely biased by an imposed boundary on the allowed parameter space.
These are specifically relevant to the pPXF kinematics from
mangadap.proc.ppxffit.PPXFFit
(stellar) and
mangdap.proc.sasuke.Sasuke
(gas). We use pPXF with a
\(\pm 2000\) km/s limit relative to the input guess velocity (set by
\(cz\) in SCINPVEL
header keyword in the PRIMARY
extension
and most often identical to the NSA redshift) on the returned velocity
and \({\rm d}v/100 < \sigma < 1000\) limit on the velocity
dispersion, where \({\rm d}v\) is the size of the MaNGA LOGCUBE
wavelength channel (\(\sim 70\) km/s; given by the VSTEP
header
keyword in the PRIMARY
extension. The returned velocity is
determined to be NEARBOUND
if the “best-fit” value is within 1/100
of the width of the allowed range of either boundary; i.e.,
NEARBOUND
is triggered if the velocity is \(-2000<v<-1980\) or
\(1980<v<2000\). For the velocity dispersion, NEARBOUND
is
triggered by the same criterion but geometrically; i.e., if the velocity
dispersion is \(0.69 < \sigma < 0.74\) or \(929.8 < \sigma <
1000\).
The UNRELIABLE flag¶
The UNRELIABLE
flag is not incorporated into the DONOTUSE
flag. This flag is tripped based on various judgement calls made by the
data products committee (DPC) and the pipeline development teams. You
are strongly encouraged to understand the implications of this flag
on the data and how to properly make the distinction between the
DONOTUSE
and UNRELIABLE
flags for your science application. The
definition of the UNRELIABLE
flag can change with time, in the hope
that we eventually converge to a refined set of criteria that allow
users to determine when measurements can be trusted carte blanche and
when the data should be treated more skeptically. Only spaxels where
analysis has been attempted (with non-zero bin IDs) are flagged as
UNRELIABLE
if they meet the necessary criteria. Please let us know
if you find a set of automated criteria that would be useful to the
development team in terms of what you would like to see marked as
UNRELIABLE
.
Currently, the use of the UNRELIABLE
flag is still rather limited.
This is not to say that all measurements are reliable, but reflects our
hesitance to set (robust) criteria for isolating unreliable
measurements, either because we don’t think we’re able to or because we
haven’t had sufficient time to do so. Below, we list the condition
under which UNRELIABLE
flags are tripped, and the affected masks in
the MAPS
file.
Affected mask | Criteria |
---|---|
EMLINE_SFLUX_MASK | If there are ‘’‘any’‘’ masked pixels in the three passbands (blue, main, red) used to construct the measurement. |
EMLINE_SEW_MASK | If there are ‘’‘any’‘’ masked pixels in the three passbands (blue, main, red) used to construct the measurement. |
SPECINDEX_MASK | If there are ‘’‘any’‘’ masked pixels in the three passbands (blue, main, red) used to construct the measurement. |
MANGA_DAPSPECMASK¶
MANGA_DAPPIXMASK
is the 3D model cube bitmask used to describe the
quality of individual spaxel fits in the DAP model data cube file.
The DAP class used to handle these bits and the
bit values are below.
Class Instantiation: mangadap.dapfits.DAPCubeBitMask
Key | Bit | Description |
---|---|---|
IGNORED | 0 | Pixel was ignored because it was flagged as either DONOTUSE or FORESTAR by the DRP, the fraction of valid spectral channels limited the spectral coverage below the set threshold (see FSPECCOV in header), or the S/N estimate of the spectrum was below the binning threshold (see BINMINSN in header). |
FORESTAR | 1 | Pixel ignored because flagged as FORESTAR by the DRP. |
FLUXINVALID | 2 | Pixel ignored because no valid (stacked) flux. |
IVARINVALID | 3 | Pixel ignored because inverse variance invalid. |
ARTIFACT | 4 | Ignored during fitting - designated as containing an artifact. |
FITIGNORED | 5 | Ignored by both the stellar-continuum and emission-line fitting algorithms: S/N below the fitting threshold (see SCMINSN and ELFMINSN in header), outside designated spectral range for fit (see FITWAVE in header), contains an emission-line (for stellar-continuum fitting only), limitations of the spectral range and/or accurate convolution of the template spectra, or rejected during fit iterations. |
FITFAILED | 6 | Stellar-continuum or emission-line fit failed. |
ELIGNORED | 7 | Ignored by the emission-line fit: S/N below the fitting threshold (see ELFMINSN in header) or outside range of any emission-line fitting window. |
ELFAILED | 8 | Emission-line fit failed. |
NOMODEL | 9 | Identifies pixels outside of the fitted spectral range. |
Reference Files¶
Internally, the DAP uses separate bitmasks to flag data resulting from
each of its main modules. These bitmasks are written to the module
reference files and then consolidated into the bits tabulated above for
the main DAP output files (the MAPS
and model LOGCUBE
files).
These bits are listed in the description of each module.
DAP Execution Files¶
The DAP is configured using an input execution plan file created by the user. There are additional intermediary script files created by the DAP to allow for event handling and cluster coordination.
See Execution for more general information about execution of the DAP. What follows is specifically for the survey level execution of the DAP.
AnalysisPlan file¶
For a general description the AnalysisPlan
file, see
The DAP AnalysisPlan.
File template:
$MANGA_SPECTRO_ANALYSIS/$MANGADRP_VER/$MANGADAP_VER/log/[timestamp]/mpl[MPL]_plan.par
In the file template, [timestamp]
is the time when the rundap
script was executed in the format, e.g., 01Nov2019T16.58.40UTC
and
[MPL]
is the MPL number (e.g., 9). This is a single file that lists
the ways in which each DRP LOGCUBE
file is to be analyzed for each
MPL. This file is created once by the person executing the DAP.
DRPComplete database¶
File template:
$MANGA_SPECTRO_ANALYSIS/$MANGADRP_VER/$MANGADAP_VER/common/drpcomplete_$MANGADRP_VER.fits
The mangadap.survey.drpcomplete.DRPComplete
file is primarily
created for the survey-level execution of the DAP. It collates
information used to create the input parameter files for each completed
DRP file. It is created/updated at the beginning of each
Batch execution using automatically generated scripts.
The mangadap.survey.drpcomplete.DRPComplete
database is written
to a fits file with a primary extension and a binary-table extension;
the table extension has the following columns:
Column | Description |
---|---|
PLATE |
The plate number of the observation |
IFUDESIGN |
The IFU used to observe the target |
MODES |
Specifies which DRP files are available on disk:
(1) CUBE files only; (2) Both CUBE and
RSS files. |
MANGAID |
String representation of the MaNGA ID |
OBJRA |
Nominal right ascension of the object center |
OBJDEC |
Nominal declination of the object center |
CATID |
ID number of the parent catalog |
CATINDX |
0-based index of the row within that parent catalog with the target information |
TRG_VERSION |
The version of the parent catalog |
TRG_ID |
The ID number of the object in the parent catalog. |
MANGA_TARGET1 |
Targeting bits for main survey galaxies |
MANGA_TARGET3 |
Targeting bits for ancillary programs |
VEL |
Redshift (\(cz\)) of the object used as an initial guess redshift. |
VDISP |
Characteristic velocity dispersion of the object |
ELL |
Photometric ellipticity |
PA |
Photometric position angle |
REFF |
Effective (half-light) radius |
Note
- The DAP currently only works with the
LOG
format, and does not search for or analyze theLIN
format. OBJRA
andOBJDEC
are not necessarily located at the center of the IFU field of view. The IFU center coordinates are provided in DRPall file (link) asIFURA
andIFUDEC
.- The MaNGA ID is defined as
[CATID]-[CATINDX]
(link) - For the main survey galaxies,
TRG_VERSION
andTRG_ID
are drawn from the NASA-Sloan atlas and are identical to ‘nsa_nsa_version’ and ‘nsa_nsaid’ in the DRPall file (link). - The targeting bits are defined (link).
- The redshifts from the NSA and ancillary-program catalogs are consolidated into the ‘z’ column in the DRPall file. See discussion of the “redshift fix file” below.
- The characteristic velocity dispersion is virtually always not available and set to -9999. In this case, the DAP will default to a dispersion of 100 km/s.
- For main survey galaxies, photometric measurements are taken from ‘nsa_ba’, ‘nsa_phi’ and ‘nsa_petro_th50_el’ in the DRPall file. If any of these values do not exist or are ‘nan’, they are set to -9999.0. Importantly, these placeholder values are replaced by ``ELL=0; PA=0; REFF=1`` when processed by the DAP.
Redshift Fix File¶
File template:
$MANGADAP_DIR/data/fix/redshift_fix.par
The redshift-fix file is an SDSS parameter file used to replace any redshift (\(cz\)) read from the DRPall or plateTargets files. It has a simple format that identifies the plate, ifudesign, and replacement redshift:
typedef struct {
int plate;
int ifudesign;
double z;
} DAPZCORR;
DAPZCORR 9677 6102 0.0
DAPZCORR 9677 6103 0.0
...
This files serves to both provide redshifts for objects that don’t have them and replace incorrect redshifts from, e.g., the NASA-Sloan Atlas. The redshift-fix file is updated for each version of the DAP.
Execution Script¶
File template:
$MANGA_SPECTRO_ANALYSIS/$MANGADRP_VER/$MANGADAP_VER/log/[timestamp]/[PLATE]/[IFUDESIGN]/mangadap-[PLATE]-[IFUDESIGN]
In the file template, [timestamp]
is the time when the rundap
script was executed in the format, e.g., 01Nov2019T16.58.40UTC
,
[PLATE]
is the plate number and [IFUDESIGN]
is the IFU number. These
are the script files that are submitted to the Utah CHPC cluster to
execute the DAP, as created by the rundap
script
Observational parameter file¶
For a general description the ObsInputPar
file, see
The DAP ObsInputPar.
File template: $MANGA_SPECTRO_ANALYSIS/$MANGADRP_VER/$MANGADAP_VER/common/[PLATE]/[IFUDESIGN]/mangadap-[PLATE]-[IFUDESIGN]-LOG[MODE].par
Symlink: $MANGA_SPECTRO_ANALYSIS/$MANGADRP_VER/$MANGADAP_VER/[DAPTYPE]/[PLATE]/[IFUDESIGN]/ref/mangadap-[PLATE]-[IFUDESIGN]-LOG[MODE].par
In the file templates, [PLATE]
is the plate number, [IFUDESIGN]
is the IFU number, [MODE]
is the data format (always CUBE
for
now), and [DAPTYPE]
is the keyword for the analysis approach. These
files provide input observational parameters to the DAP, and are almost
entirely from the NASA-Sloan Atlas.
DAPall database¶
File template:
$MANGA_SPECTRO_ANALYSIS/$MANGADRP_VER/$MANGADAP_VER/dapall-$MANGADRP_VER-$MANGADAP_VER.fits
The DAPall file has two extensions:
PRIMARY
: Empty apart from the header informationDAPALL
: Binary table data
The DAPall file contains one row per DAP MAPS
file, such that the
total number of rows is \(N_{\rm cube}*N_{\rm daptype}\).

Note
- Distance estimates do not include an estimate of the peculiar motions.
- Volume weights are included in the DRPall file.
RCOV90
is calculated for theCUBE
files; however, a more sophisticated calculation would use theRSS
files to account for the significant overlap of the fiber “beams.”- All radially averaged or summed properties are calculated within ‘’elliptical’’ apertures defined using the NSA ellipticity and position angle.
- Possible Future developments: (1) Provide default set of cross matching: SDSS I/II, Galaxy Zoo? (2) Include initial radial profiles of the emission-line, spectral-index, and other derived properties?
