DES Y6 Gold

We have added the DES Y6 Gold as a supported survey to use with streamobs. The survey dataset is described in Bechtol et al. 2025, and the catalogs can are documented/publically available from DESDM. The maglim, completeness, and photoerror files should be downloaded and placed in the data/surveys/des_y6/ folder and loaded in the following manner:

des_y6= surveys.Survey.load(survey = 'des', release='y6')

Any questions about the creation of these survey specific files can be addressed to Peter Ferguson.
