(Up to IPP Progress Reports)

Eugene Magnier

Serge Chastel

• Restored replication on ippdb03
• Upgraded my linux box to new Ubuntu LTS
• Restored replication on ipp001

Heather Flewelling

• psps stuff
  • meeting with gene about psps fields, and working on fixing those fields: ​http://ps1sc.ifa.hawaii.edu/PS1wiki/index.php/PSPS_heather
  • helping bill with dvo/psps stuff
• astrocoffee stuff

Mark Huber

• UK liaison Monday at U.Edinburgh, flight back Tuesday. Writing up notes.
• Czar Thursday, Friday (typical rate monitoring, keeping system full of LAp jobs, chip fixes, MD diffim checks)
• MD09 refstack rerun to include the weight image fix since MD09/SAS are primary test fields now. Setup to redo staticsky for full field comparison and verification plots. Setting up when to swap MD10 refstack with replacement that includes fix to weight image.

• Investigated the strange magnitude offsets observed in the data returned by PSPS for SAS_v8. It turned out to be caused by a problem in DVO where a single detection got inserted into two catalog files. This should not happen and caused ipp to psps to get confused about which data went with each detection. Fixed DVO and I think Heather did some work on PSPS to prevent this happneing in the future
• Fixed bug in cmf input that caused sky calibration to lose the N_FRAMES value - the number of frames that contributed to the stack pixel at the source's peak
• Did some analysis of the number of frames that contribute to our stacks. On average the number appears to be 52 % of the number of inputs in our SAS stacks. This seems somewhat low and needs further investigation to determine whether it is reasonable. Contributing features that cut pixels include, overlap of the individual warps with the skycell, masked pixels, stack image rejection, and stack pixel rejection.
• wrote an tools script to streamline the process of regenerating burntool tables lost for a given raw imfile.
• spent a few hours playing with my prototype scripts for retrieving smf files for a given exposure through a simple web interface. When finished this will provide a mechanism for distributing" smfs other than permanent strorage on the data store.
• debugged and fixed an assertion failure in pswarp
• debugged a couple of failing stacks. Fixed a bug in the stack rejection code.
• Started working with Conrad on a new user interface to the postage stamp server. Wrote draft of a quite long winded document which has been posted to this wiki [wiki:pstamp_web_interface_features_2012_09
