• eSASS Q&A

• eSASS developers meeting
  • Open actions
    • Act20200818/1_IS: make catprep write FITS units and comment strings - ongoing
      • writes units / not clear about comments (column comments)
    • Act20200811/1_GL: investigate whether ersensmap output maps are correct - ongoing
    • Act20200825/1_IS+GL: investigate how catprep determines the DetUID - done
      • new parameter to specifiy prefix (onfirmed by Miriam and Georg)
  • NRTA
  • 946 / 947 (re-)processing

    • c946 TEL chain + EXP/DET chains (RASS:2), SOU chain about to restart

    • Disk space:
      • LOCK mechanism to block write access to directories while they are copied to a different disk
        • Pipeline failures before LOCK mechanism was in place
      • Compressing all srctool products (c946)

      • This week: /ero_archive6 & /ero_archive7 (ca. 190 TB each)

    • 945 / 946 comparison
      • RXJ 1856 (eDay 44838) / c946 normalization issues
        • ca. 20 affected eROdays in eRASS:1

      • CalPV 945/946 comparison? -> Thursday meeting

  • Held cameras
    • 08/25 anomaly? should be reprocessed!

• eSASS tasks (ongoing/planned) eSASSdevel page

  • expmap (PE015)

    • 'table interpolation error' (fixed for detcorr in expmap, not corratt)
      • make expmap more robust, fix root cause in evtool
    • compare evatt/expmap coordinate conversion codes
  • evprep: MIP counter in SciHK / new task parameter - update pipeline script (HB)
    • evprep updates of 08/31
  • evtool: don't copy most extensions (only GTI) if image=yes, events=no

  • flaregti (PE022): GTI issues

    • quick fix in flaregti
  • ersensmap: have a look at output maps, are they correct?
    • crashes when there are null values in exposure map (in corner)
    • currently only works with survey PSF
    • Georg will update code to work with pointing PSF and review/improve algorithm
    • Better documentation?
  • apetool testing - Antonis will update docmentation
  • eSASS task descriptions Web pages - developers should have a look and update them
  • eSASSdevel nightly builds (script directories / file versions?)
  • Recent task uploads

    • erolib-2.26, evtool-2.10

    • catprep-1.25

    • expmap-1.33.1, apetool1-9.4, shapelib-2.38

• DAtool
• PROCstat
  • DEC range seems to flipped
  • eRASS:1 / eRASS:2
• Longterm activities
  • Light leak mitigation
    • Wait for outcome of threshold test
  • expmap: time dependent bad pixels
  • Time dependent RMFs/ARFs (srctool?)
  • Background analysis: projecting closed data onto the sky (XMM SAS) - dedicated meeting?
  • Build infastructure (git) - meeting next week
  • Public data release / public software release - discuss with Andrea (dedicated meeting)
• User requests
  • Orbit file access (Axel Schwope) - use caldb download script

Previous meeting:

• Open actions:
  • Act20200804/1_GL: test whether new lapack version (v3.9, ubuntu: 3.5.0) gives same result - closed
    • only used by shapelib (matrix inversion) / autoconf build errors
  • Act20200818/1_IS: make catprep write FITS units and comment strings - ongoing
  • Act20200811/1_GL: investigate whether ersensmap output maps are correct - ongoing
  • Act20200825/1_IS+GL: investigate how catprep determines the DetUID
• NRTA
• 946 / 947 (re-)processing
  • pipeline on hold: /ero_archive3/4/5 is full
    • current short term solution: Harald is copying some directories to a new disk
    • soon (next week): bring new archive disks online (350 TB)
      • needs to be operatinal by end of next week (Harald's vacation)
    • eropipe upgrades:
      • allow mix of compressed/uncompressed products in files
      • create LOCK mechanism to block directories while they are copied to a different disk
  • 945 / 946 comparison (new plot by Miriam)
    • Miriam will make some in depth spot checks
• Held cameras

• eSASS tasks (ongoing/planned) eSASSdevel page

  • expmap:
    • 'table interpolation error' (fixed for detcorr in expmap, not corratt)
      • make expmap more robust, fix root cause in evtool
    • compare evatt/expmap coordinate conversion codes
  • evprep: MIP counter in SciHK - done
    • new task parameter! pipeline script needs to be updated.
  • evtool: don't copy most extensions (only GTI) if image=yes, events=no
  • catprep: unique IDs
  • apetool testing (demo script)
    • some s/w updates, test script in test directory
    • cookbook entry for apetool
  • eSASS task descriptions Web pages - developers should have a look and update them
