- Preprocessing / NRTA
- eFEDS catalog paper referee report resubmitted
- unrecognized TM6 time shift in eFEDS sub-field I
- Report on EDR page, upate data
- Provide info to Miriam
- Nico Cappelluti error message (email forwarded by Mara, forum entry by Nico)
- Pipeline / ongoing processing
- 947 100 eROday test
- eROproc_201125 is now current
- task updates before restarting DET_947 chains?
- third erbackmap run still needs to be included in DET_947
- Rerunning TEL_947
- Validation: Georg's merged catalogs / comparison with 946
- Starting TEL_947 all sky?
- 946
eSASS tasks eSASSdevel page / Error tracking page
- ermldet
- Mara: RA/DEC/RADEC_ERR contained -999 (ermlet-1.47?) Julien will report details
- from previous meetings:
- ftfindhotpix / caldb
Konrad's proposal (discarding/renaming flags) - should not break backward compatibility -> after 947 is out
- evprep
- Konrad provided scaled threshold map
- dedicated meeting of Konrad and Ian
- Susanne should put new threshold maps in
- will only affect data after 47036 (is in eRASS4) - not need for eRASS:3 reprocessing
- Update needed to address issue with bad pixel neighbours - could be implemented before eRASS3 947 reprocessing (see previous meeting)
- ftfindhotpix / caldb
- License files (once again)
- Correct name of license file?
- Jeremy/Alain/HB/Johannes(?)/Bamberg(Sixte?) to discuss and make final decision
- New user release
- Test version by Ian
- Reporting version number in user release (method by Philipp Weber)
- recent task updates (license file included+functional updates):
- catprep-2.8.1, 2.8.2
- apetool- 1.17, 1.18
- erolib-2.65
- evtool-2.26.1
- expmap-2.9.1
- gtcal-1.14.1
- radec2xy-1.8
- evatt-1.13
- astrolib-2.7.tgz
- cal-1.18
- flaregit-1.25
- srctool-1.68
- eroio-2.68
- ermldet-1.50
- ermldet
- DATool
- 947 products
- Delivering products with version numbers in file names
- request log, etc.
- Longterm activities
[?] Moving task archive to git
- evprep
[9] evprep: space invaders event flag
- implemented - should be documented in next users release
- more detailed, quantitative checks regarding improvement of data quality
- evtool should update the gti according to this flag
- wider issue: should discarded frames due to flag selection b tracked in GTI?
- BTI/GTI:
[7] one PDF per eRASS in wiki
[7] PSF normalization
- caldb vs. shaplet PSF (Antonis)
may be necessary to put 1 arcmin vs. 4 armin flux correction into shaplet caldb file (needs testing) -> longterm activity
- ermldet
[3] Johan's proposal? Georg to discuss with Johan (long timescale project)
[7] Proposal by Florian: don't use fixed extrction radius but one dependent on flux
- Time dependent RMFs/ARFs (srctool?)
[8] RMF
[7] ARF
[1] EV_WEIGHT: event based vignetting correction (would require dedicated tests)
[6] Background analysis: projecting closed data onto the sky (XMM SAS)
[6] ersensmap: implement pointing PSF
[3] ftfindhotpix: test and update algorithm
[1] Light leak in eSASS/pipeline?
[1] DAtool: filtering catalogs?
[6] add option to provide larger sky areas (Jeremy's script)
Previous meeting:
- Preprocessing / NRTA
- eFEDS catalog paper referee report
- flux limit in abstract
- Mara's comments
- ermldet algorithm description duplication in chapter 3.3 and Appendix A.5 (where it should be)
- Teng's optional text
US/UK spelling (catalog<->catalogue, color<->colour, center-> centre, neighbor -> neighbour)
- Pipeline / ongoing processing
- 947 100 eROday test
- eRASS1 DET chains reprocessed (four sky tiles need to be reprocessed)
- eRASS2 DET chains wer run but - needs to be redone because:
- ero_archive3 full (now 3.8 TB free again)
- declination zones: 039, 075, 087, 099, 111, 123, 135, 147, 159
- other crashes?
- differences DET_947/eFEDS detection
- delivering eRASS1 merged catalog (Goerg)
- delivering 947 products in DAtool
- 946
- EXP/DET chains of sky tiles on /ero_archive3 processed since Sunday need to be redone
eSASS tasks eSASSdevel page / Error tracking page
- evprep
- new MIPs/dead time computation + MIPNEIGH cal component / testing
latest evprep version will need to go in both 946 & 947 to be able to read the new I*4 threshold maps
- PMENV2 code needs to be corrected (after Konrad/Ian are back in October) - may not be needed for eRASS1? Only relevant once there are significant onboard bad pixels
- catprep - new ermldet columns? - already included
- new MIPs/dead time computation + MIPNEIGH cal component / testing
- evtool: TM filtering - already fixed
- apetool/shapelib messages
