Minutes for the terameeting of January 17th 2008

Present: Yannick, Patrick, Mathias M., Emmanuel, Gregory, Henry Joy (partly), Mathias S. (partly).

Emmanuel's summary document

MEGACAM PI processing

 There is no ongoing MEGACAM PI request currently: Mathias S. can fully concentrate on the legacy survey.
 The data mentioned by P.Petitjean are the Coppolani data. Locate does not find trace of the file on FTPix or Mix7. Yannick will contact directly Patrick Petitjean (deadline: 17/01).

T05 operations

 The 519 image QualityFITSion is about to be completed. Thanks to Condor, about 80 MEGACAM images can be processed each hour. If the CFHTLS data are spread over 3 datanodes, it should be possible to achieve 3 times this rate with the new incoming computing nodes.
 The 03A, 03B (on CD), as well as 07B metadata (when it is final) will be ingested by Greg. It is expected to be available by Monday 21st.

T05 developments

 It is decided to slice the WIRCAM datacubes before ingestion. It will have to be taken care of before ingestion. This choice facilitates the processing of images, but may make ingestion a bit more difficult (since there is only one QSOstatus entry per datacube).
 Handling generic FITS images. It is proposed to add at least one mapping table from the FITS keywords to the database fields for each instrument.
 Patrick will commit his rating interface to SVN and investigate whether he can adapt it to other kinds of images (MEGACAM, VIRCAM,...)
 e-mails sent to the address indicated in the ingestion form will be cc'ed to teraop@iap.fr when the software is stable enough.
 a preference tab and the related database table will be added to spica2.

Misc.

 The photometric check report has been sent to Herve and Jean-Charles for comments.
 Mathias M. will from now work from home one day per week, generally on Friday. Starting from mid-February he will stay in Paris during the week and compress all his weekly worktime in 4 days at TERAPIX.

The next terameeting will take place January 28th, 2007 at 14:00 in the "salle des seminaires"
