Status of ongoing PI data.
Henry: What PI software is in the queue at TERAPIX? Patrick responds that he had bought a licence for the 'JIRA' software but is still waiting for fred to install it. This software allows to have a system of tickets. Most of the PI projects are small sized. NEW VIRCAM data from pagani.
Stripe 82 data (Nawfel)
for certain images there are problems with too many negative pixels. they seem to be images which were taken under bad observing conditions, they have flag C. Can these images be found in the observing logs? can continue with groups which are not problematic. are stripe 82 data coverage continuous? Is this observing strategy the same as the previous data?
UltraVISTA DR2 processing (Henry)
headers will be updated with Johannes Zable in Copenhagen Clotilde l. will help with catalogue extraction / validation of DR2 images need to prepare documentation for next consortium release (14 october)
