giant.catalogs.gaia.DEFAULT_CAT_FILE

giant.catalogs.gaia.DEFAULT_CAT_FILE: Path = PosixPath('/Users/aliounis/Repos/giant_public/giant/catalogs/data/giant_cat.hdf5')

This specifies the default location of the HDF5 database file that contains the data for this catalog.

This is stored as Path object. It defaults to a file called “giant_cat.hdf5” in a “data” directory in the same directory containing this file. If you wish to use a different catalog, typically you should simply provide a key word argument to the class constructor instead of modifying this module attribute.
