Description

We currently infer the schema for catalogs that result from joining and crossmatching operations. For that we provide the following helper method with the resulting Dask DataFrame's meta. While Pandas does a good job getting the schema right, we should generate it manually to minimize the risk of introducing an incorrect schema. Relates to #383.
