Science Data Model Schemas

This schema browser provides a view on a curated subset of the Rubin Observatory’s database schemas for user-facing data products (the Science Data Model, or SDM). These pages are rendered directly from the latest revisions of schema definition YAML files maintained in the sdm_schemas GitHub repository.

Schemas available here for browsing include:

  • Data Preview 0.3

    Data Preview 0.3 (ten-year version): Contains the catalog products of a Solar System Science Collaboration simulation of the results of SSO analysis of the wide-fast-deep data from the full LSST ten-year dataset.

  • Data Preview 0.2

    Data Preview 0.2 contains the image and catalog products of the Rubin Science Pipelines v23 processing of the DESC Data Challenge 2 simulation, which covered 300 square degrees of the wide-fast-deep LSST survey region over 5 years.

  • Alert Production Database

    The Alert Production Database (APDB) contains the catalogs resulting from image differencing during nightly Prompt Processing as well as the results of daily Solar System Processing.

  • HyperSuprimeCam

    The HyperSuprimeCam (HSC) Schema describes the outputs of the latest data release production pipelines for HyperSuprimeCam. This schema is used by ci_hsc, which verifies the schema of the pipeline output files.

  • LSSTCam ImSim

    The ImSim Schema describes the Science Pipelines outputs for on Imsim simulated full-focal-plane LSSTCam data. The data preview dataset schemas (e.g. DP01, DP02) are derived from this one, but are fixed at the time of that data release.

  • ConsDB - LATISS

    The Consolidated Database for LATISS schema contains information for each exposure and visit taken by the instrument, an imaging slitless spectrometer mounted on the Rubin Observatory Auxiliary Telescope. This includes observatory data from the FITS image header metadata and measurements and metrics from Rapid Analysis and other data processing.

  • ConsDB - LSSTComCam

    The Consolidated Database for LSSTComCam schema contains information for each exposure and visit (and each detector within those) taken by the instrument, a 9-detector camera for commissioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. This includes observatory data from the FITS image header metadata and measurements and metrics from Rapid Analysis and other data processing.

  • ConsDB - LSSTComCamSim

    The Consolidated Database for LSSTComCamSim schema contains information for each exposure and visit (and each detector within those) taken by the simulated instrument. This information was recorded during an Operations Rehearsal. This includes simulated observatory data from the FITS image header metadata and measurements and metrics from Rapid Analysis and other data processing.

  • ConsDB - StarTrackerFast

    The Consolidated Database for StarTrackerFast schema contains information for each exposure taken by the instrument, a fast star tracker mounted on the Simonyi Survey Telescope. This includes observatory data from the FITS image header metadata and measurements and metrics from Rapid Analysis and other data processing.

  • ConsDB - StarTrackerNarrow

    The Consolidated Database for StarTrackerNarrow schema contains information for each exposure taken by the instrument, a narrow-field star tracker mounted on the Simonyi Survey Telescope. This includes observatory data from the FITS image header metadata and measurements and metrics from Rapid Analysis and other data processing.

  • ConsDB - StarTrackerWide

    The Consolidated Database for StarTrackerWide schema contains information for each exposure taken by the instrument, a wide-field star tracker mounted on the Simonyi Survey Telescope. This includes observatory data from the FITS image header metadata and measurements and metrics from Rapid Analysis and other data processing.
