• ippToPsps
  • investigated LAP exposures not found in DVO: destreak issue
  • added 'deletion policy' section to the config file: local disk, datastore and dxlayer files all have to be deleted at some point
  • added method to check if a batch has consistently failed, so it can be skipped form future queing
  • changes to code to poll ODM: logging load failures, grabbing the ODM comment so that I can investigate and re-submit
  • further investigations into 0 instFlux detections
  • wrote a MySQL stored procedure for erfc() function for likelihood calculations. Huge improvement to speed (had been using a cursor)

• czar mon/tues
  • fixed IPP metrics, which were broken when we switched ippMonitor over from ipp004
  • finally fixed issue of metrics not getting automatically updated

• Tiger team
  • cuts program now produces ds9 region files per skycell per filter
  • cuts program now produces histograms showing cuts per filter
  • work on sloan cross-matching:
    • imported sloan stripe 82 into our database
    • used TOPCAT in an attempt to reproduce the Durham cross-matching results. Successful, after realizing that Stripe 82 does not cover the whole SAS footprint
    • plots for different cross-matching errors
