test environment, current task versions -> eSASSdevel/task archive
- Recent task updates:
- expmap: v2.1.1-3, v2.2, v1.33.4
- eRASS1/947 code updates/code freeze (Ian's email)
- Pipeline / ongoing processing
- performance issues?
- replacement for get_dir routine?
- ds53 speed issues?
- 947 test runs
- eRASS3 (946) exposure deficit
- caused (in part) by incomplete/not-current HK file versions - fixed
- telgti issues at border of planning files (fixed in tel-1.24)
- 46008 and 46085 rerun in eRASS3 946 processing - HiPS maps?
- similar exposure deficits in eRASS1/2
- Missing soft sources (Frank)
- Ian, Chandreyee, Frank investigated
- probable cause: previous processings contained CalPV test scans
- confirmation: rerun test scans in 946 pipeline (or 001?)
- Ian, Chandreyee, Frank investigated
- bad pixels
- TM7:
- 42 bad pixels in caldb (onboard vs. caldb?)
- onboard: 40 bad pixels
- How to proceed with eDay 46199?
- Susanne will set vsd to beginning of eROday 46199
- 42 bad pixels in caldb (onboard vs. caldb?)
- TM7:
- Temperature dependence in task energy (HK access)
- should go in 947 pipeline
- Konrad proved list of eROdays to Hermann - TEL_949 chains currently running
- Zip pattern analysis
- Susnanne + Chandreyee will discuss
- Discrepancies in source list of demo script runs / ermldet uninitialized variables
- Still different results of same binaries on different machines
- Different from pervious problem, all sources are affected (parameter are sightly different) - high priority
- Confirm whether ermldet patch changes the eFEDS source list (Teng?)
- evprep summary reports
- will be updated by Chandreyee to check TM5/7 against successive eROdays
- EDR
- Web pages, documentation
- Validation of CalPV/c001 data: guidlines by eSASS team
- DAtool
- access restrictions sto data request logs + project descriptions (discussen ongoing- details tbd)
- providing large multi-sky tile images - Jeremy will share his Python script with Alain and Sabine
- move simple copying request to Python / should everything be moved to Python? - ongoing
- DAtool / eROSE interface: requires change in frontend
- Longterm activities
[?] Moving task archive to git
- evprep
[9] evprep: space invaders event flag
- which flag location: bit 3, parameter in pipeline needs to be turned on
- evtool should update the gti according to this flag
- post-processing: frames with many counts?
- BTI/GTI:
- PDF for CalPV linked on wiki page (done?)
[7] one PDF per eRASS in wiki
- ermldet
[8] ca. 2% of sources have positional error 0, some also have count error 0
- can't be fixed quickly, may need replacement of algorithm
- Johan's proposal? Georg to discuss with Johan (long timescale project)
- Time dependent RMFs/ARFs (srctool?)
[8] RMF
[7] ARF
[6] Background analysis: projecting closed data onto the sky (XMM SAS) -> 6
[4] ersensmap: implement pointing PSF
- ftfindhotpix: test and update algorithm
[1] Light leak in eSASS/pipeline?
[1] DAtool: filtering catalogs (separate from DAtool)? -> 1
- DAtool
- providing large multi-sky tile images - Jeremy will share his Python script with Alain and Sabine
