Summary of MD02.refstack.20120827

Similar to the MD02.GR0 (MD.GR0) refstacks for the 2011/2012 season, these include recent improvement and input cuts to help constrain the convolved stacks as well.

More details to follow.

MD02.V3 reference stack

Reference stack using data from 2010+2011, a balance of N input warps versus best seeing, excluding exposures with large background, low zeropoints, and large elongation.

• label: MD02.refstack.20120927
• data_group: MD02.refstack.20120927

Test stack (reftest) sample also made again for skycell.055 with different number of input warps.

• label: MD02.reftest.20120927
• data_group:
  • MD02.reftest.20120927.c#f<FWHM cut> where #=comparison run, <FWHM cut>=cut <fwhm_major from camProcessedExp
  • MD02.reftest.20120927.all.<FWHM cut> where all means 2009+2010+2011 data possible, <FWHM cut>=cut <fwhm_major from camProcessedExp
  • MD02.reftest.20120927.2011.<FWHM cut> where 2011 means 2011 data only, <FWHM cut>=cut <fwhm_major from camProcessedExp

Summary comparison table with the approximate FWHM (major) as the PSF FWHM from a center field skycell (V3=055) after running psphot on the stacks. Because the reftests were all run on the same date, the stack_id is important to note to separate by filter as well.
