Attendees

Notes

  • Heard a rumour that there was some CTE correction code produced by Snyder that might be contributed to DM — what's the status?
    • This was a message from Aaron Roodman, referring to Adam Snyder.
    • Merlin has been volunteered to follow up on this; he believes it will be essential to meeting DM requirements.
    • He will make a ticket to track this work.

Merlin Fisher-Levine 

  • Asbestos is all gone; full swing of construction underway.
    • Significantly time consuming; he's trying to hire a project manager.
    • He's had to take several full days off.
    • Expecting to spend ~4 days on Rubin this week.
  • Attended PCWG meeting on Friday.
    • Great talk by Jeremy on Spectractor.
      • Huge improvements to the package; lots of good results.
      • Changes the way it handles DCR.
      • Merlin looking forward to getting this incorporated into our pipelines.
  • Has been learning about Gen3 by doing reviews for Chris.
  • DM-24592 will be merged after that review is complete.

Andrés Alejandro Plazas Malagón

  • Gave talk on Tuesday last week to SAWG.
  • Discussed ISR Confluence page with Robert & Merlin.
    • Robert made many comments, and posted them on the Confluence page.
      • Andrés will make a ticket to go through all of Robert's comments, responding to the easy ones, and filing new tickets to investigate the hard ones.
    • Robert is keen to have all of the Camera work at SLAC replicated at NCSA.
      • We discussed exactly what this means.
      • Agreed to go through all of the entries Sensor Characterization and ISR page in a group meeting with the four of us + RHL after Andrés has finished responding to RHL's comments (or ticketing them); to discuss this next week.
  • Dealing with detector name ambiguity; see discussion in Slack.
  • Worked on DM-25711, QA from the PTC task.
    • Comparing various methods for calculating gains.
    • Investigating various mask discrepancies etc.

Christopher Waters

  • Updating ISR calibrations to use the new base class.
    • This is a “containable mess”.
    • Fighting with rebase issues.
    • Ultimately, this will all be consistent and use the same interfaces, etc.
  • Still handling reviews, as discussed last week.
    • e.g. DM-24760.

Robert Lupton

  • Will try and come to this meeting ~once a month from now on.
  • Will be updating the PST on the state of DM detector effects.
    • Should be a joint effort between Camera + DM; RHL talking to Steve Ritz about it.
    • This is what's driving the question of reproducibility.
  • ComCam data processing.
    • RHL is keen to get “LVV-57-style” automated processing of ComCam data up and running.
      • Testing the calibration & generation of calibration products that will be run on the LSSTCam.
      • Taking biases, darks, etc and getting them regularly ingested into a calibration repo.
      • And use this to monitor the current status of calibrations; look for camera breakages.
    • This will ultimately need to happen in an automated way both in Chile and at NCSA.
      • We think that probably getting it up and running at NCSA first will be easier.
    • ComCam in Chile is under control of the T&S system, so this is an accurate reflection of what operating the real camera should look like in Ops.
    • This will require OCPS (in Chile) or modernized prompt processing (at NCSA) to make it automated.
    • We agreed that Chris would be available to work on this.
    • Timeline: when?
      • Not yet clear.
      • Probably not before the upcoming Ops Rehearsal.
      • Will be disrupted by ComCam move over the next couple of months.
      • So either between Ops Rehearsal and that move, or after the move.
      • RHL will follow-up to clarify that.
    • Chris is not keen to write LVV-57 Gen2 code.
      • We agreed that this will be fine.
    • RHL will get back to us to firm up timelines and the plan when he has more information.
