Agenda

  • Current status of  DM-12733 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
    • I think just blocking on  DM-15756 - Getting issue details... STATUS , and we have a solution to that.
  • AuxTel pipeline.
    • Should arrive at a timeline for making progress on this.
  • Tech note DMTN-097.
    • DM-15506 - Getting issue details... STATUS .
    • No new material in the last week; last time we spoke, waiting for colleagues to return from vacation.
  • Atmospheric characterization.
    • Most recently: comparing water vapour from SNFactory with MERRA-2.
  • Last week's Bootcamp – any feedback?

Meeting Notes

  • Before Merlin Fisher-Levine's vacation, he was entirely focusing on Bootcamp prep.
    • Not just Bootcamp prep, but also fixing up parts of obs_lsstCam.
    • We don't know what the current status of the obs_lsstCam review is; John Swinbank should chase that.
  • Coming up this week for Merlin Fisher-Levine:
    • Writing the first spectral extraction code for AuxTel.
      • Has data, and it's usable with obs_lsstCam.
    • DM-15756 has expanded to cover two issues; one is done, but needs review, the other (cross-correlation) still takes a bit of work.
      • Agreed this is top priority.
  • Unknown User (aguyonnet) finished work on 3D extraction from MERRA2. There are slides; he will (hopefully) attach them here.
    • Good match on barometric pressure, but a gradient that is not yet understood.
    • Water vapour ok.
    • As are aerosols.
    • Now able to compare atmospheric transmission between MERRA2 and SNFactory; getting good agreement.
    • Coming next:
      • Do the analysis on the LSST site; already in progress by people within DESC who have promising results but Unknown User (aguyonnet)is not convinced yet.
      • Corrections to 3D extraction based on mass mixing ratio, humidity.
      • Report on MERRA-2/SNFactory comparison to the SNFactory team.
      • Unknown User (aguyonnet) will make some Jira tickets to describe the above.
  • DMTN-097:
    • Working on a DESC update for this; nothing new on the DM side.
  • Andrés Alejandro Plazas Malagón  discussed with folks at the bootcamp a liaison role with the Camera.
