IceCube data for neutrino point-source searches, years 2008-2018 (mirror)

This is a byte-identical mirror of version 2.0 of the IceCube Collaboration's public point-source release, as served by Harvard Dataverse in its original (as-uploaded) file format:

• Dataverse: doi:10.7910/DVN/VKL316, version 2.0, CC0 1.0
• Data DOI: 10.21234/CPKQ-K003
• Paper: IceCube Collaboration, "IceCube Data for Neutrino Point-Source Searches: Years 2008-2018", arXiv:2101.09836

The FrontierPhysics task icecube-pointsource-unbinned downloads this file when it builds its image, pinned to a commit of this repository, and falls back to Dataverse when the mirror is unavailable. Either way, the build checks every file against icecube_release.sha256.

Files

File	Contents
icecube-pointsource-2008-2018.zip	The 36 release files: events/, irfs/, uptime/ and readme.txt (409,178,788 bytes unpacked)
icecube_release.sha256	sha256 of each of the 36 files
make_zip.py	The script that built the zip

Rebuilding the zip

curl -L -o bundle.zip "https://dataverse.harvard.edu/api/access/dataset/:persistentId/versions/2.0?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/VKL316&format=original"
mkdir release && unzip -q bundle.zip -d release
(cd release && sha256sum -c ../icecube_release.sha256)
python3 make_zip.py release icecube-pointsource-2008-2018.zip icecube_release.sha256

format=original matters: without it, Dataverse 6.12 and later serve the ingested CSV files in their archival .tab form. Dataverse builds its bundle on demand, so the bundle's own digest changes between downloads. The zip here is built from sorted entries with a fixed timestamp, and two independent downloads gave the same zip (sha256 01f1f73e…).
