raw → Contains the initial catalogue of star-forming galaxies from SDSS.

processed → Contains the subsets of blue galaxies used in the analysis.  - Each subdirectory (`a1/`, `a2/`,...) corresponds to a different sky region.  - Each region contains two files, representing two redshift shells:    - `z_0.00-0.06` (Shell 1)    - `z_0.06-0.12` (Shell 2)

The `Table_star_forming_galaxies.csv` file in the `raw/` directory contains the parent sample of galaxies, from which the blue galaxies subsamples were derived.

The datasets were extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), applying specific criteria for blue star-forming galaxies, as detailed in the paper. This repository does not contain the full SDSS catalogue, but only the subsets used in the analysis.
