Detailed Description of the Data Product

This output product collects environmental/instrumental information for a filter of an instrument.

This output product is composed of InfoMapMOC, a container with a FITS file in MOC HEALPix format (of type le3.id.vmpz.mocinfomap) collecting environmental/instrumental information for a filter of an instrument. A raw description with polygons of the envelope of the sky covered is added as well to ease future queries on the product (SpatialCoverage metadata, see spatialFootprint). Finally, the map parameters InfoMapMOCParams can optionally be associated to the product.
