Notes

Unknown User (aguyonnet) —

• Review in from Eli. Looks like the paper is finally converging.
  • Should go to internal review ASAP.
  • John Swinbank will push for this as soon as it gets in.
• Checked for MERRA upload software on other operating systems; needs more work on a Linux system.
  • Planned for this week.
• Preparing a Gantt chart for his proposal.

Merlin Fisher-Levine —

• Attended the PCW.
• RHL on board with the Spectractor plan.
• Now hoping to have an extracted spectrum from Spectractor by the end of the week; should review that next week.
• We note that RHL will be running “CAP” commissioning meetings on Tuesdays.
• Merlin will write some words re a statement of work for AuxTel end-to-end integration activities.
  • Writing down the “Stubbs spiral development process”.
  • Identifying the success criteria.
  • Identifying the first step.
• ...this make take some effort which means he doesn't hit the Spectractor goal, which is fine.

Andrés Alejandro Plazas Malagón —

• Had useful discussion with Eric Charles and Pierre Antilogous lat week.
• Will calculate PTCs with AuxTel data and the “basic” PTC code.
  • Needs to ticket this...!
• What is the aim of the PTC game:
  • Produce a linearity model that is “extremely accurate” (Merlin Fisher-Levine)
  • Success: run the PTC code, generate a linearity model, re-run PTC code, should get a straight PTC.
• Speaks to building the linearity model as a priority.
• And ask Merlin Fisher-Levine to find a dataset of flats which is “good enough”.
  • One answer to this is that Craig Lage has this data already.
  • Merlin Fisher-Levine will get Craig to rsync the data to lsst-dev.
• There are two ways of linearizing in the stack at the moment; Merlin doesn't know the detail of either of them.
  • Action on Andrés Alejandro Plazas Malagón to figure this out.
  • Some discussion of the technical details of how this will happen.
• Merlin Fisher-Levine to file a ticket describing changes to outputting linearity model from the basic task.
• Priorities:
  • Rebase basic PTC (John Swinbank )
  • Get the basic PTC through code review and merged.
    • Merlin will give a rough review, then ask somebody else for a real review.
    • Merlin awaits Andrés Alejandro Plazas Malagón telling him when this is good to go.
  • Work the new ticket filed by Merlin when it becomes available.
  • In any spare time, work on the Pierre^2 PTC code.
