Bill Sweeney

Chris Waters

• Noise: Constructed noisemap boosts for all time regimes back to the beginning of the mission.
• Ghosts: Identified bugs in the ghost image masking process, and updated the ghost model. Still not completely correct, as high radius ghosts are missed by masks.
• Crosstalk: Identified that bright diffraction spikes can create crosstalk ghosts similar to known crosstalk rules for stellar cores.
• Began work on videodark/mask files to allow us to mask regions with suppressed corner glow due to video readout.
