IPP Progress Report for the week 2012.04.30 - 2012.05.04

(Up to IPP Progress Reports)

Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

• Still working on the disk monitoring pages. See ​http://ippmonitor.ipp.ifa.hawaii.edu/nebMonitor/test4.php
• The table are still being populated and updated. I'm going to work on the history mechanism now.
• Helped Rita moving ps1sc mailing-lists from neverland

Heather Flewelling

• psps
  • meeting with conrad about psps and czartool (overview of dxlayer, and I've been granted access to psps wikis and computers). I've also been reading the psps wiki
• wikiwork
  • started a wiki on dvodbs. It's not very awesome yet but at least includes where the frequently asked about dvodbs live.
  • made a wiki on how to ssh to ipp machines.
  • writing up basic information for ipp processing (both for newcomers to ipp and for my aas poster)
• megacam
  • major cleanup of megacam:
    • the raw exposures (%o) were set to state 'raw' so that they are not queued again.
    • the new exposures were ingested, and processed through warp using eam_branches/ipp-20110505 with the label u.MD__.20120502. I may move them to u.MD20110602 to make it simpler in the future for queueing. Both use the same revision/branch of ipp and the same recipes.
  • investigations of how to proceed (the quickest) to get nice stacks for JT:
    • plotting histograms of sigma_ra, if I exclude sigma_ra > 1, I exclude ~ 250 exposures out of 1900. These clearly have bad astrometry, and I need to investigate this. However, I'm tired of megacam.
    • turning off convolution - the configs related to convolution were never tweaked for megacam - some exposures are dropped from stacking. JT doesn't want convoluted stacks anyways so I'm going to turn that off for megacam.
• jtrp
  • I queued up the MD nightly stacks that were processed in the previoud month as a V2 tesselation for John.
• ippmonitor
  • cleaned up/ reorganized ippMonitor.
  • dvodb menu now works properly ( has addRun/minidvodb/mergedvodb, and summaries for dvodb processing which I hope to evolve into a czar like monitor)
  • we now have a czar menu with czar related tools (czartool pages, nigh summary, mask stats, mops/exposure status)
• czar
  • nothing to note - bad weather so I queued up jtrp.
  • dvodbs are still building - low on space on ipp005

Roy Henderson

• left Hawaii this week, so lost three days to prep and travel. Will make up time over coming month.

• PSVO:
  • fixed bug preventing user working offline using Derby Db
  • added warning popup if requested PSPS catalog is not available
  • some refactoring for clarity
  • introduced config file:
    • class to encapsulate config, which parses file and provides getters
    • re-factored all code to use config

• long explanatory email regarding PS1SC mailing lists management
• some help with the switchover of mailing list stuff to ps1scn machine
• updated PSPS news page with details of new SAS with 'better' objects from IPP
