Monthly eSASS Q&A / weekly eSASS developers Zoom meeting

Start of meeting: 2021-09-07 13:30

Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/97439409844?pwd=YXVkK0hBMnpybm5tL2VyYTh2Qld2UT09

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

  • processing wiki page

  • 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
  • evtool: TM filtering - already fixed
  • apetool/shapelib messages
  • 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 caldb
    • recent task updates (license file included+functional updates):
      • param-1.41
      • general-1.11
      • gtcal-1.14
      • erolib-2.64
      • catprep-2.8
      • onetools-1.10
      • erotools-1.6
      • evprep-3.41, 3.42, 3.43
      • evtool-2.26
      • expmap-2.9
      • ftfindhotpix-1.22
      • specfit-1.5
      • varicheck-1.9
      • ermldet-1.48, 1.49
      • eroio-2.67
  • DATool
    • gziped FITS files (Thomas Boller)
      • DAtool should follow links to srctool products and provide the files with the original names, consistent with the headers.
    • Jan's DATool question
• 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)
