+# mmu_vipers_w1 HATS Catalog Collection
+
+This is the collection of HATS catalogs representing mmu_vipers_w1.
+
+This dataset is part of the [Multimodal Universe](https://github.com/MultimodalUniverse/MultimodalUniverse),
+a large-scale collection of multimodal astronomical data. For full details, see the paper:
+[The Multimodal Universe: Enabling Large-Scale Machine Learning with 100TBs of Astronomical Scientific Data](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.02527).
+
+### Access the catalog
+
+We recommend the use of the [LSDB](https://lsdb.io) Python framework to access HATS catalogs.
+LSDB can be installed via `pip install lsdb` or `conda install conda-forge::lsdb`,
+see more details [in the docs](https://docs.lsdb.io/).
+The following code provides a minimal example of opening this catalog:
+
+```python
+import lsdb
+
+# Full sky coverage.
+catalog = lsdb.open_catalog("https://huggingface.co/datasets/LSDB/mmu_vipers_w1")
+# One-degree cone.
+catalog = lsdb.open_catalog(
+    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/LSDB/mmu_vipers_w1",
+    search_filter=lsdb.ConeSearch(ra=36.0, dec=-6.0, radius_arcsec=3600.0),
+)
+```
+
+Each catalog in this collection is represented as a separate [Apache Parquet dataset](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/dataset.html) and can be accessed with a variety of tools, including `pandas`, `pyarrow`, `dask`, `Spark`, `DuckDB`.
+
+### File structure
+
+This catalog is represented by the following files and directories:
+
+- [`collection.properties`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LSDB/mmu_vipers_w1/collection.properties) — textual metadata file describing the HATS collection of catalogs
+- [`mmu_vipers_w1`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LSDB/mmu_vipers_w1/mmu_vipers_w1) — main HATS catalog directory
+  - [`dataset/`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LSDB/mmu_vipers_w1/mmu_vipers_w1/dataset/) — Apache Parquet dataset directory for the main catalog

+
+"Nested" indicates whether the column is stored as a nested field inside another "struct" column.
+
+
+"Value count" may be different from the total number of rows for nested columns: each nested element is counted as a single value.
+
+
+
+
+### Crossmatch with another catalog
+
+HATS catalogs can be efficiently crossmatched using [LSDB](https://lsdb.io),
+which leverages the HEALPix partitioning to avoid loading the full datasets into memory:
+
+```python
+import lsdb
+
+mmu_vipers_w1 = lsdb.open_catalog("https://huggingface.co/datasets/LSDB/mmu_vipers_w1")
+other = lsdb.open_catalog("https://huggingface.co/datasets/<org>/<other_catalog>")
+
+crossmatched = mmu_vipers_w1.crossmatch(other, radius_arcsec=1.0)
+print(crossmatched)
+```
+
+See the [LSDB documentation](https://docs.lsdb.io/) for more details on crossmatching and other operations.
+
+### Dataset-specific context
+
+**Original survey**  
+This dataset is based on the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), which provides optical spectra of galaxies in the redshift range 0.5 < z < 1.0.
+
+**Data modality**  
+The dataset consists of fixed-size optical spectra (1 × 557) covering a wavelength range from 5514 Å to 9484 Å. Each spectrum includes flux values, the corresponding wavelength vector, inverse variance (ivar), and a mask indicating the quality of each measurement. The dataset contains approximately 90,000 galaxy spectra.
+
+**Typical use cases**  
+This dataset has been used in a number of scientific publications, as well as in
+machine learning specific applications, including source identification with SVMs and
+galaxy classification with unsupervised methods.
+
+**Caveats**  
+The dataset includes spectra that have been normalized and transformed during preprocessing to ensure consistency with other datasets.
+
+**Citation**  
+This dataset uses data from the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope. Users should acknowledge the [VIPERS survey](http://vipers.inaf.it) and its participating institutions.
