• Calculations on boosting the noisemap. Using a set of detections measured on the bias images, I was able to construct a model of the amount the noisemap under measured the detector noise. As this was measured on teh bias frames, any issues with the gain should not influence this result. Calculated boost factors, and applied the result to the noisemaps and ran a footprint study in g. This did not show the expected dramatic improvement in the number of false positives.
• AAS Anchorage meeting abstract.
• Determined with Ken and Gene that the corner anti-glows visible on many exposures are a result of the video cells on that OTA. This suggests that we should be able to model this effect and remove it with the dark. This will remove one more detector issue that sometimes prints through into the stacks.
