List of CDS's on-the-fly HATS products.
HATS stands for "Hierarchical Adaptive Tiling Scheme".
It is a "format" developped by the LINCC, see their github repo.
The current structure of CDS on-the-fly HATS products is based on
the LSDB Gaia example.
This prototype will continue evolving to match the evolving LINCC-HATS format.
All CDS HATS products are generated on-the-fly from HEALPix indexed data.
Although so far the list of available product is limited, all VizieR large catalogues
can be added very quickly (matter of adding names in a list).
WARNING: This is a proof-of-concept in an pre-alpha version: do not use for serious buisness!
WARNING: Do not use as a way to harvest larges catalogues without the consent of the CDS (and possibly of original providers)!
