DES is releasing a final “Gold” set of catalogs and maps that support cosmological analyses and more. Y6 Gold is based on Data Release 2 and adds value in several ways, including new and better object morphological classification compared to Y3 Gold; increased depth and photometric uniformity; refined and extended maps of survey conditions and foregrounds; and enhancements in photometric redshift estimates, especially for z ~ 1.
