= Summary of MD.GR0 = [[PageOutline]] Summary page of information for the MD GR0 (grand reprocessing version 0) including the new reference stack in the V3 tessellation with the start of new observations of MD10 in OC142. This is version 0 as the test start of full reprocessing of the MD fields to be balanced along with other reprocessing, 3PI stacks and nightly science, generation of new reference stacks and as of yet chip/camera processing does not include a revised reference calibration catalog (currently applies to MD10, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05). Creation of the new reference stacks need to be, at the very least, made prior to the return to the particular MD field given in the current schedule http://ps1sc.ifa.hawaii.edu/PS1wiki/index.php/Medium_Deep_Schedule. After the July, August, September time crunch of a new field a month, there should be time to continue reprocessing and creation of new reference stacks in advance. * ''8/15/11'' minimum mode re-processing for reference stacks after MD10 for evaluation and get next MD field ready (MD01) * ''9/30/11'' more success weaving in reprocessing with LAP, started reprocessing for refstacks MD03,04 (with more reprocessed exposures) * "10/09/11" MD03 refstack and sample stacks available, testing MD04 ~200 very deep stack, MD05 running * '''Feedback is important:''' We would not want to continue full reprocessing of the MD fields if there has been a gross oversight or problem for a particular science interest. Please let us know of any issues you discover with example details. For example * tessellation and/or offsets issues in any of the fields * corner of skycell.055 seems to be regularly masked (and in neighbors with the overlap) * fields with offsets need to include sufficient images in old and new pointings (i.e., MD10), for the magic reference stack at least. * any issues with masking, mask values * been report of possible ones in early MD10 but still need details * depth/quality of the stacks, reprocessed images in the new format * any missing skycells, SMFs, other data products -- in particular MD10 which has been the only MD field full reprocessed and magicked for release of SMFs, warps. * MD10.refstack.20110722 replacement with proper uncompressed MD10.refstack.20110821 for diffims * Where to find the data: * http://datastore.ipp.ifa.hawaii.edu/ps1-md-GR (full, pixel images) * http://datastore.ipp.ifa.hawaii.edu/ps1-md-GR-cat (cleaned, catalogs) * http://datastore.ipp.ifa.hawaii.edu/ps1-md-refstack (full, pixel images for updated refstacks) * http://datastore.ipp.ifa.hawaii.edu/ps1-md-staticsky (full and cleaned? new deepest stacks) == Reference versus Deep Stack == A requirements description for the needs in the different types of stacks would be useful to summarize. Reference stacks -- primarily for difference imaging for transient detection and necessary for magic destreaking. * Magic destreaking: a fairly clean reference stack (uses the convolved stack) with as much spatial area coverage as possible to enable release of non-stack data products. Particularly important is inclusion of older data on different pointings and of course a fairly balanced dither set. * Transient detection: a balance slanted towards best PSF but with some depth (1-1.5 magnitudes over nightly stacks) and also a fairly balanced dither set. Deep stacks -- for deep static sky science. * As deep as possible.. maximum FWHM allowance? minimum exposure time? specific request for at least ~10ks has been requested, with best FWHM possible and also a fairly balanced dither set.. See summary for each MD field reference stack for details on specifics for that field. Due to processing+time constraints/early mistakes, an attempt has been made to merge the similar criteria under the ''refstack'' label. Since magic destreaking uses the convolved stack, looking into a quickstack version of the unconvolved stacks for the transients reference and deep stack that will be faster to make with more inputs. For cases when a stack does not have a good sample of exposures with a reasonably small PSF FWHM, it should be possible to generate a reference stack with the fewer 'best' exposures for just SSdiffs and transient detection. MD02-g may be such a case. For fields with shifted centers from offset earlier exposures, inclusion of enough exposures to provide a reference stack for magic is necessary in order for data from those associated chips/skycells to be distributed (being older data, may not have the optimum quality). Mixing older and newer data may also be a detriment. Related to deep stacks, there needs to be enough inputs to obtain minimum depth that is as pixel contiguous as possible (see MD04 deep stack tests). How much of a varying IQ can go into a stack before ppSub has difficulty modeling the variations within a skycell? = MD.V3 Tessellation = The new V3 tessellations are defined at [wiki:PS1_Tessellations] with the following general properties: * 0.25"/pix (from natural ~0.258"/pixel, previously warped to 0.2"/pix up through V2) * 10 x 10 skycell grid (previously 12 x 12) * +x is West (flipped from before +x was East), +y is still North * 320 pixel (80") overlap (from 300 pixels, 60", in V2) * revised centers (if necessary) -- see relevant MD section for more details and the MDS field table (http://ps1sc.ifa.hawaii.edu/PS1wiki/index.php/Medium_Deep_Survey#Actual_Field_Centeres_-_2011-02-21) but in summary * [wiki:MD.GR0#MD10.GR0 MD10.GR0]: from (351.979 -0.433) to (352.312, -0.433) however an additional offset looks like it should have been applied to cover more of the earlier observation dithers. * [wiki:MD.GR0#MD07.GR0 MD07.GR0]: from (213.146, +53.417) to (213.454, +53.243) to best cover as much of the earlier observation dithers as possible. * [wiki:MD.GR0#MD08.GR0 MD08.GR0]: very slight offset in RA to the W to just align with the MDS field pointing. * [wiki:MD.GR0#MD09.GR0 MD09.GR0]: from (333.688, +0.283) closer to the current pointing of (334.188, +0.283) however an addition offset was added to move the center about half a skycell to the E to (333.980, +0.283) in order to cover as much of the earlier observation dithers as possible. * All fields should be looked at to see if there are any problems with the new tessellation and dither pattern. * [wiki:MD.GR0#MD07.GR0 MD07], [wiki:MD.GR0#MD09.GR0 MD09] will have a preliminary nightly stack made for testing the revised center as well as [wiki:MD.GR0#MD06.GR0 MD06] for NGC4258. ---- = MD10.GR0 = ''Status:'' reference stack (revised) processed and distributed. All exposures since April 2009 reprocessed and distributed except for SSdiffs. SSdiffs being held back until ppSub auto convolution choice is tested on. Started for OC142 (July 15, 2011). Start with current statuswith a new reference stack and full sample of reprocessed exposures as an initial reprocessing version. * z,y-band data processed prior to full Dark model improvements (higher background makes effect insignificant). gri-band processed after Dark model improvements. * same photometry reference catalog as MD have previously been using. * * stack-stack diffims still using forced convolution of reference stack to input images MD10.V3 center shifted to the current observation pointing even though there are earlier data that has offset dithered observations that populate the 0X8-0X9 skycells. Not as bad as MD07, but the revised reference stack may not provide for the outer skycells very well. Afterwards it was discovered the full extent of the previous observations wasn't quite accounted for, shown by these exposure plots with the MD10.V3 overlay and compared to a recent nightly stack set of exposures. This may need to be shifted in the next iteration. || [[Image(MD10_g_smf.png,150px)]] || [[Image(MD10_r_smf.png,150px)]] || [[Image(MD10_i_smf.png,150px)]] || || [[Image(MD10_z_smf.png,150px)]] || [[Image(MD10_y_smf.png,150px)]] || [[Image(MD10ns_i_smf.png,150px)]] || Exposures available with preliminary FWHM cut for initial reprocessed sample to create the refstack: || '''Filter''' || '''N total''' || '''N (FWHM150 stack on i-band. r-band running through warp * 10/5 gy running through wrap * 10/6: izrgy refstacks ready to queue * 10/8: i-band refstack finished, z-band running * 10/9: r-band running, g-band running * 10/10: remaining y refstack finishing up New observations aren't planned until OC147 (December 9), but need it for comparison analysis ASAP.
