Here is the list of problems in SAS9 (unresolved SA8 problems appended to the end)
To be fixed for SA10
| priority | problem | location | fixer | fixed?
|
| | nigel found magnitude variation problems due to zeropoint offset | ipp | Bill | yes
|
| | minor zeropoint issue | ipp / ubercal | Bill | yes
|
| | stackdetections some have kronflux = 0 and some have kronflux = -999 why? all things with forced photometry have kronflux = 0 (other columns are set to 0 as well - basically kron* and moments* = 0) recommend they are set to null | cmf file | gene/bill |
|
| | ndetections != ng + nr + ni + nz + ny in many cases see SA9ndetections = we set ndetections = sum(nfilters) | dvo | heather/gene | yes
|
| | stsci has object count integrity problems - investigate and compare to conrad s - factor 2 in det in obj_table see SAS9DataIntegrity - we think it is related to ipptopsps having filters that drop detections based on certain criteria | ipptopsps? | heather | yes
|
| | xmeanpsfmag == xstackpsfmag discussions:right now, xmean is set to xstack when only stack detection. should be flag - see thread on this, we think it is ok | dvo | gene | yes
|
| | apMag in StackDetectionFull needs exp time correction | ipptopsps | heather |
|
| | flxRn values in stackApFlux needs exp time correction | ipptopsps | heather |
|
| | check aperture values as per Roberto -we think this has been resolved | | bill/gene | yes
|
| | sdss - ps1 radial aperture magnitudes have offsets which change systematically with larger radius (via Roberto) | psphot | bill/gene | will not fix for this release
|
| | position angle distribution for PSFs seems odd (via Nigel) --also present in LAP smf/cmf (needs to be fixed) | | bill/gene | yes - in gene's branch needs to go in trunk
|
| | conrad data integrity issues (the overlap object/stack/detections - see SAS9DataIntegrity -we understand them now | | heather | yes
|
| 3 | edge problem part 1: psps needs bigger ranges for SAS | psps | thomas |
|
| 3 | edge problem part 1: ipptopsps needs bigger ranges for SAS: recommend ra:[327:341] dec:[-7:7] to give a buffer | ipptopsps | heather | yes
|
| 3 | edge problem part 2: integrity will always fail near edges heather thinks | | ken | we decided we will accept that (3pi)
|
| | -999s in ndetections : see SA9ndetections 12k from failed batch, 60k from ipptopsps not having enough ra/dec range, 2k need investigation,suspect from ipptopsps filters. | | heather | yes
|
| | ken's funny meanpsf vs kronpsf mag problem - flag issue, gene responded | ipptopsps | heather | yes
|
| | remap of stack and p2 flags to infoFlags = (dbflags << 46 | flags2 << 32 | flags) | ipptopsps and wiki | heather | yes
|
| | remove ipptopsps filters on detections etc and see if it improves integrity stuff- some important ones were kept (ie, delete null/zero objid and force un-queness on that) | ipptopsps | heather | yes
|
to be fixed
| priority | problem | location | fixer | fixed?
|
| 1 | need flag mask for stack only detections and forced photometry in stacks that are included by default | | bill |
|
| | need flag masks for 'good' detections | | bill?
|
| 3 | need psvo-type flag mask generator for psps | | bill/psps/roy?
|
| | need descriptions of all flags | wiki | heather | yes PSPSFlags
|
| | go over HeathersPSPSVerificationPage and determine the columns that need to be dropped or filled | | heather/gene/ken
|
| | stsci likely has other issues that need to be added to this wiki | | heather |
|
| | need description of xflags (object table) | wiki | heather | yes PSPSFlags
|
| | Object has unfilled columns: projectionCellId, stackVer, consistency, updated, varFlag | | ken/gene
|
| | DetectionFull has unused columns: activeFlag, historymodnum | | ken/gene
|
| | StackDetectionFull has unused columns: primaryF, apmagerr, kronraderr, activeflag, historymodnum | | ken/gene
|
| | stackDetectionFull = skycell column not set properly | | heather/conrad
|
| | Object has unused w band nw, wMean,wMeanPSFMag, etc | | gene/heather
|
| 3 | John Lacy extended model radii problem - see DRAVG pages | ipp | gene
