  • fixed memory bug affecting large queries on fast queue
  • introduced popup offering promotion of a fast query to a slow query if it exceeds the time limit
  • fixed issue where results of slow queries needed to be downloaded from PSPS more than once if passed to other SAMP clients
  • failed queries on both queues now produce a popup with a readable error description
  • each query tab is now a 'split pane', meaning the relative sizes of the query and table parts of the panel can be adjusted by the user

Bill Sweeney

This covers the past couple of weeks

• Spent many many hours trying to fix M31 processed data that was lost when ipp064 went down a couple of weeks ago. In human terms it would have been easier to simply re-queue the data for processing. This task was finished on Tuesday Jan 10.
• Fixed bug in astrometry that was causing the CNP fields to fail. Reprocessed all CNP data. They are now ready for analysis.
• PS1SC conference
• prepared and delivered a session on the postage stamp server
• consulted with Johannes on potential ways we can improve the astrometry of the STS fields. We will test constructing a reference catalog from the PS1 data
• debugged problem with ppImage crashing on chip XY17. The cause of the crash is a bug in psphot where threading is not used properly. Consulting with Gene and Paul Price points to a potential solution.
• several days as acting processing czar
• wrote a program to repair detect corrupt raw images and replace them with a good instance or mark as unavailable if all have been lost.
• ran test of 5 filter staticsky photometry. There are some quality issues and a bug that need to be addressed before turning the code lose on the entire LAP data set

Chris Waters

• Vacation.
• Conference.
• Remembering what I was working on a month ago.
