eSASS Q&A / weekly eSASS developers Zoom meeting

Start of meeting: 2020-05-05 13:30 (1:30pm) - Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/7909307159?pwd=ZEdGeTJQUzdsRGpkd2Q5aUZXQmZZdz09

The weekly eSASS developers meeting on the first Tuesday of each month is announced to the full eROcat list to facilitate interaction between eSASS users and developers (eSASS Q&A). Question, bug reports, and suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Agenda:

• eSASS Q&A

  • In the previous eSASS Q&A meeting Jeremy Sanders presented the eROSITA Sky Explorer eROSE. A video of his presentation is available here. Those who tried out eROSE in the last month are welcome to provide feedback.

  • Other eSASS questions, bug reports, suggestions, etc.
    • CalPV data should have source catalogs!
    • Backdating current boresight caldb files to also apply to CalPC data.
    • evtool, srctool TSTART and TSTOP header keywords (other?) should match GTI
  • from last (ad-hoc) background meeting (24-Apr): missing S/W package like "esas" and "eimageget"/"eimagecombine" in XMMSAS, would be very helpful and could be a joint eRO_DE effort
• Weekly eSASS developers team meeting
  • Preprocessor / NRTA
  • Data analysis pipeline
    • c946 processing - where are we?
      • evprep/evatt new time correction method / testing
        • uncorrected event lists: evatt warning?
          • evatt in new users release will not work with c945 data! evatt warning and documentation!
      • new vignetting model
        • new 2dpsf and avignet2 caldb files / srctool-1.52 (expmap needs to be rebuilt)
        • avignet/avignet2 file names are in expmap/srctool SASSHIST keyword
    • New eSASSusers release
    • New TM5/TM7 flickering pixels/corrupted events?
      • put bad pixel TSTART, TSTOP values into badpix caldb files
      • check corrupted event/frame algorithm in evprep
    • Pipeline reruns (fields with large exposure gradient, test scan fields)
    • BARYCORR (Joern's code)
    • DATool
    • Pipeline data quality checking (GTI fraction, corrupted events, etc.)
• AOB
