Agenda

  • Summary and actions from last week's calibration meeting.
  • Remaining work to close  DM-12733 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
  • Status of calibration strategy writeup.
  • AuxTel pipeline plans.

Workshop Summary

  • Unknown User (aguyonnet)'s slides are at  DM-16041 - Getting issue details... STATUS ; see also the meeting website.
  • Community is fighting between photometry and spectrometry to determine the atmosphere; this meeting was useful in finding common ground.
  • Overall expectation is that we are moving towards a forward model based on a combination of the above.
  • Eli delivers 4/5 mmag photometry; there's no point in spectrometry if we don't do better than that.
  • See Eli's slides presented on the last day of the talk.
  • Based on these it seems like that the spectrometry will be able to make useful contributions.
    • Water vapour and ozone in good shape already.
    • Although we still have a lot of work to do on aerosols.
  • Next thing will be to derive a set of targets on the sky.
    • Start working on this right now by looking at the Gaia catalog for stable stars in the correct magnitude range.
  • Merlin Fisher-Levine managed to get a little time with Robert Lupton to discuss the design of the AuxTel pipeline.
    • But does not yet have an API sketch.
    • Will proceed by making a quick & basic pipeline which puts out a spectrum.
    • This will mean the data model and the early pipeline evolve in parallel.
    • Not clear whether we are actually converging on a data model a la https://github.com/Subaru-PFS/datamodel/blob/master/datamodel.txt or just on a bunch of Python classes; should make sure we're all on the same page with this (e.g. by further discussion with Robert Lupton). Merlin Fisher-Levine had missed that .txt file when looking through that repo, and had therefore not quite understood what was being aimed for along with the API design. Now that he's seen that he will start working on something roughly equivalent for AuxTel.

LOVE

  • Merlin will clarify exactly what his obligations are with Andy Clements.
  • CCing John Swinbank  and Wil O'Mullane to make sure there's no confusion.

Brighter Fatter

  • Will be merged today.
  • There are still some regressions, but these are minimally important.
  • Merlin Fisher-Levine will check DM-12733 and figure out how to close this epic, then chat to John Swinbank .

Calibration Strategy Writeup

  • Technote is not online yet.
  • But is a priority starting now.
  • Will talk to Jonathan Sick in re of the technical difficulties he has been facing.
  • Ticket for this is  DM-15506 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
