Notes. The 99% regions are covered in non-overlapping tiles calculated using the sky_tiling code. Tiles are equal in size to the telescope field of view, as stated in Table 1. The “Galaxy Tiles” column represents the number of tiles which contain galaxies identified by the algorithm described in this paper.
