LSST_i_trimmed.fits.gz 27.3 Trimmed simulation results without per-object datacubes
LSST_r_trimmed.fits.gz 30.8 Trimmed simulation results without per-object datacubes
DES_i_trimmed.fits.gz 11.9 Trimmed simulation results without per-object datacubes
DES_r_trimmed.fits.gz 12.9 Trimmed simulation results without per-object datacubes

All files are in compressed FITS format and should be uncompressed after downloading:

gunzip *.fits.gz

The commands used to generate the OneDegSq.fits catalog are described here. The following commands were used to run the LSST and DES simulations:

nohup ./simulate.py --catalog-name OneDegSq.fits --survey-name LSST --filter-band i --output-name LSST_i > LSST_i.log &
nohup ./simulate.py --catalog-name OneDegSq.fits --survey-name LSST --filter-band r --output-name LSST_r > LSST_r.log &
nohup ./simulate.py --catalog-name OneDegSq.fits --survey-name DES --filter-band i --output-name DES_i > DES_i.log &
nohup ./simulate.py --catalog-name OneDegSq.fits --survey-name DES --filter-band r --output-name DES_r > DES_r.log &

The resulting FITS files were then trimmed to remove the individual object datacubes using:

import astropy.io.fits
for name in ('LSST_i','LSST_r','DES_i','DES_r'):
        hdus = astropy.io.fits.open(name+'.fits')
        del hdus[2:]
        hdus.writeto(name+'_trimmed.fits')
        hdus.close()
