(Up to IPP Progress Reports)

Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

• Tessellation (end?)
• Static mask
• Sick on Monday

Heather Flewelling

• processed 100 i band 3pi images (for mask generation and static masking purposes)
• with the help of serge (for the algorithm), created a robot that generates masks for the static masking - these use as the input a median of 100 images (the output of ppMerge).
• did lots of static masking - it was a million times less frustrating than before.
• helped Henry (linked him to postage stamp server)

Roy Henderson

• PSPS
  • continued to process the exposures missing from PSPS. NFS was clearly the issue for the mast majority of failures the first time around.
  • PSPSVO
    • using threads for running queries. Enables query to be canceled, progress to be tracked etc.
    • using a tabbed-pane so that numerous query panels can be added and used concurrently
    • added some predefined queries to a new 'Queries' menu
    • lots of research into best approach to utilise TOPCAT's plotting capabilities - back and forth with lead TOPCAT developer: settled on design using SAMP to communicate with other VO tools

• IPP
  • changes to czartool/metrics in response to Chris' burntool changes: analysis is now from 6pm (HST) the previous day
  • started to look at new stacks cmf file provided by Gene
  • rest of the week was static masking. Lots of it.
