Start of meeting: 2020-07-28 13:30 (1:30pm)

Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/7909307159?pwd=ZEdGeTJQUzdsRGpkd2Q5aUZXQmZZdz09

Participants: Ian Stewart, Jeremy Sanders, Hermann Brunner, Mara Salvato, Miriam Ramos, Susanne Friedrich, Ingo Kreykenbohm, Georg Lamer, Susanne Lamer, Alain Gueguen

• NRTA
• PIL / pfiles: multiple parallel runs
• 946 processing
  • CalPV reprocessing: TEL, EXP/DET twice (with/without FLAREGTI)
  • eRASS:2 reprocessing EXP/DET/SOU (without FLAREGTI, catupdate commented out)
• 947 processing (planned)
  • evprep-3.6 / 3.7
  • 0.2-2.3 keV images, single/multiple band source detection, HRs)

• More cores: 64 -> 224 (1x64 + 10*16)

  • more frequent reprocessing, two concurrent configurations (e.g., 946: stable, 947: testing)
• Some issues
  • wrong flaregti (no events in GTI)

  • expmap: 'table interpolation error' (only v1.31 & 1.32.1)

    • cocmpare evatt/expmap coordinate conversion codes
  • Bad pixels: exposure maps vs. images (flag selection / patterns)
  • catupdate crashes (fixed by Ian)

  • eropipe: too many open files (crashes when writing to pipeline log file, param issue?) <- Jeremy's suggestions

• eFEDS processing versions
• New boresigth caldb file
• srctool-1.60: lightcurve bug fixed
• evprep
  • evprep-3.6
  • MIP counter in SciHK
• ermldet
  • ermldet v1.35
  • flux (and column) units in ermldet / catprep are missing (only missing in catprep?)
    • don't use '/' in units, standard is, e.g. s**-1 (OGIP standards?)
    • check again Johannes' emal/wiki suggestions
  • HR values are missing in 945 processing (hrdef@ermldet = 1 2 2 3 1 3)
• evatt (limiting log output)
• Pipeline error tracking / data products validation

  • ErrorTracking

• Reset/held cameras / processing status

• Susanne has a pdf explaining the steps to update the timeoff and badmact files

• DAtool
  • Region requests issues
    • catalogs can't yet be filtered, whole catalog will be returned
  • providing large multi-sky tile images - Jeremy will share his Python script with Alain and Sabine
  • move simple copying request to Python
  • soft links instead of copying
  • DAtool / eROSE interface
  • Wiki description / dedicated meeting?
• Background analysis: projecting closed data onto the sky (XMM ESAS) - dedicated meeting?
  • define algorithm, identify who will implement it (meet with Miriam, Susanne, Chandreyee, and Michael / eSASS task or Python?)
• User requests
  • Orbit file access (Axel Schwope) - use caldb download script
  • Cumulative attitude file (Jürgen Schmitt) - GL will make script for merging intermediate attitude, then put in crontab
• AOB

Previous meeting:

  • expmerge error (START_EXP files)
  • he6ero-he15ero: pipeline issues?
  • lheasoft 6.27 (default.libs)
    • failed TEL chains yesterday
• Held cameras / eROdays
