• Open actions
  • Act20200929/1_all (Ian, Georg, Jeremy, Antonis, Miriam and Hermann will provide recomendations): make sure html task descriptions are current and consistent with user release
    • task documention for eSASSuser + CalPV/001 should be sent be email, will be integrated in Web page by Miriam
  • Act20201006/1_HB clean event file description, update source list description
  • Act20201006/2_SF document cal files (done) and bti
    • static version on Web page / live version in wiki
  • Act20201020/1_HB+SF check why some ObsIDs were only processed in 945
    • telgti-1.23 running in 001 pipeline
    • processed: 700203, 700204, 700040
    • still missing: 700201, 700202, 900046, 900047, 700015 (c945)
  • Act20201102/1 AG+HB: test how many regions per request DATool can handle - done
    • limit in the frontend: 150 regions (can be changed) / also: 3h time limit
    • backend: probably only time limit (150 regions take more than 10 hours)
    • warning in frontend: SO+HB
  • Act20201117/1_GL: check for out of sync attitude in eRASS (946) and CalPV data (001) - done
    • c946 reruns? Georg will investigate ro which extnt this effects the data
• New actions
• NRTA / preproc
  • DIMM memory error
  • offset /w noise maps CTIMETAG overflow, computed full time in keyword CALCTIME
  • raw frames April 1st, 2020
• Ongoing processing

  • processing issues wiki page

  • Jira discussion?
  • backup issues (discussion Harald/Achim/computer center - ongoing)
    • excluding srtool products from backup? Not running SOU chain every day? Will test every other day
  • turn on optimization in 947 pipeline
  • eRASS2
    • c946 ongoing
    • eROproc_201125 for 947 (task versions)
    • TM1-7 hold files (ITC reset) - removed
  • CalPV / c001
    • missing ObsIDs processed with telgti-1.23, some successes, some still missing
    • 2020 pointings processed
  • RXJ 1856 flux discrepancies (also RXJ2143??)
    • out of sync values in gyro attitude - will be fixed in attprep
    • attprep should discard affected entries, and report about number of occurances
    • fixing c001/c946 processing?
  • flaregti in eFEDS field (Teng/Jeremy)
    • parameters need to be adjusted to field size, should be in documentation, flaregti could also read the field size from input, Teng is using changed parameters for eFEDS
    • Jeremy is investigating flaregti behaviour in survey; parameters for 947
    • simulating random light curves - ongoing
    • testing whether flaregti improve detection - use current settings for c947 for now / use harder band
• Discrepancies in source list of demo script runs (ermldet)
  • Different results results on different machines using same binaries, probably due to uninitialized variables
    • results are consistent on the same machine
    • seems to happen in multi source fits
    • ermldet fix by Georg: update for 947 pipeline and users release?
      • Should Teng confirm whether ermldet patch changes the eFEDS source list?
  • patch user release / update Docker version? Will be fixed for Georg's/Teng's CALPV papers
• heasoft 6.28 (was 6.27.2) / user release
• cron job / email notifications for evprep anomalies - current sttings seem to be ok

• eSASS tasks (ongoing/planned) / current processing errors - eSASSdevel page / Error tracking page

  • catprep: set output and output2 (947 pipeline)
  • telgti: attitude issues

    • sky tile 062093 (events outside of sky tile) -> eSASS error tracking page

  • detection task updates (ongoing, perhaps ready for 947)
    • clobber option
    • improved RADEC_ERR
    • upper/lower count rate errors
    • ermldet: ca. 2% of sources have positional error 0, some also have count error 0
    • Johan's proposal?
  • library order in .libs files
    • Antonis, Gerog, and Jeremy should change .libs order in their tasks

  • NaNs in physical DS9 coordinates in exposure maps, missing keyword (see Ian's emails), eroio nees to be updated

  • Recent task uploads
    • erolib-2.33.5, erolib-2.34
    • general-1.8
