= 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 does not include a revised reference calibration catalog (currently for MD10, 01, 02). 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'' LAP has priority, current mode of only minimum processing for reference stacks * '''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. * tessellation and/or offsets issues in any of the fields * any issues with masking, mask values - been report of possible ones in early MD10 but need details * depth/quality of the stacks, reprocessed images in the new format * any missing skycells, SMFs, other data products * MD10.refstack.20110722 replacement with proper uncompressed MD10.refstack.20110821 for diffims * == 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 convolved version) with as much area coverage as possible to enable release of not-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). Deep stacks -- for deep static sky science. * As deep as possible.. maximum FWHM allowance? minimum exposure time? at least ~10ks has been requested, with best FWHM possible initially. See summary for each MD field reference stack for details on specifics for that field. Due to processing+time constraints/early mistakes, an attempted has been made to merge the similar criteria. = 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 = 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.
