SDAST Chat # 78: Thursday 28th August 2003 Participants: Carol Anne Oxborrow; Peter Kretschmar; Jerome Chenevez; Sami Maisala; Niels Joergen Westergaard Subjects discussed: Status for ISSW before end-of-Sep 2003 s/w freeze Empty fields for background modelling Action Items AI030828_1 NJW 30 Sep 2003 Look into sources moving parallel to OPEN COSY / COSZ axes giving problems with vignetting, esp. GRS 1915 AI030828_2 JC 31 Aug 2003 Email Sami a list of available recent OPEN empty field data **** Logging Started : Thu Aug 28 13:25:40 MEST 2003 > Hello, is there anybody out there?END *** njw (~njw@uhuru.dsri.dk) has joined channel #jemxadr *** jerome (~jerome@uhuru.dsri.dk) has joined channel #jemxadr Goddag! > Hi NJW, let's hope it isn't just the DSRI folk that turn up to > chat today - not quite the meaning of these get togethers! END *** smaisala (~smaisala@gemini.astro.helsinki.fi) has joined channel #jemxadr *** peter (~pkretsch@crab.unige.ch) has joined channel #jemxadr Hi everybody, sorry for the delay. END Hello Peter, hello Sami! Sami, I am sorry to have left Helsinki without saying goodbye... The taxi to catch! END Hello > Hello everyone. We at DSRI have another party in 45 minutes, > so I think we should start now, an be brief, so I'll start Hello everybody. Jerome, it's ok :) END > the ball rolling. Currently I'm working on Planck, and wil > next get a chance to work on JEM-X next week, at the earliest. > I'll begin my delivering j_prp_verify, which is just waiting > for the official versions of the JMXi-ANOD-PRP templates > to be released. Then I'll add hotspots to both DETE-MOD > tables, then I'll start on some more offline tools. > Any questions? END No You have already answred mine... END > If there are no more questions: Peter what's you status? > Will you have all your redeliveries done bfore your long > break in September? END Frankly, I start to have _serious_ doubts. The last two weeks have seen much more other problems than I anticipated and next week I'm off mostly to Garching. I don't want to rule it out completely, but it will be difficult. > You can work on this stuff in Garching surely? END In a pinch, I might come in to work between the trip to Spain and the rest of the vacation. In Garching, I'll attend a big formal INTEGRAL event on one day and help people analyzing their data with something else than SPI the other days. There may be some time for this work, but I'm not 100% sure ... END > But most of your AI's don't affect the software freeze do > they, so we could put the various `look into' AIs on hold > without holding up OSA 3.0 END Yes, we could. One note before I never tell you guys: ???? In the GRS 1915 set which triggered all the doubts about vignetting the source moves around as seen from the detector almost exactly parr ... exactly parallel to the COSY / COSZ axes. NJW, do you think that could explain something? END > I think we'd better look into that: AI on me to discuss > it with NJW. Is that all you want to get off your chest > PEter? END There's some thinking to do, Peter END Yes, that's all. END > Okay Sami: what are your plans for the near future (JEM-X > wise)? END No future no plans... > Boy you people from the frozen North are pessimistic....END > Any questions for Sami, anyone? END I'm trying to create new bkg models with your dead anode information. I think I can deliver them by today. END > Delivering by today is great! Tomorrow would also be good... > END Have you used recent new empty fields data Sami? END I was trying to get that data but there were some problems. I'll analyze that as soon as possible. END > What problems? This is public data isn't it Jerome? END Tell me if you need some input from my part (dates and so on). END Well that depends what data we are speaking about... I can also use private data just to make a anodes check from empty fields. END I think we are talking about rev 102 crab off axis pointings? END Ok. So no problem. END > Can we discuss this offline? I'll put an AI on JC to send > an email to Sami about empty fields. END > Status for you NJW, how's the imaging going, and using > background models? END I've spent some time on AO2. I'm approaching a code for including the backgrou d in j_ima_shadowgram. Btw. Sami, did you have a look at my last email? I have no results yet for the effect of background inclusion END > Any questions about NJW's work? END I made a quick look and it seems you are using the models right. END Thanks END > Okay Jerome, how's your status, what are you doing these > days? END I am working on a routine which converts sky coord to JEMX coord and to be implemented in NL's s/w. That is to make mosaic images taking account of the vignating problem. By the way Peter, I have sent an email to Pascal asking him for the misalignement matrix but I have not got any answer for a few days... Do you know if he his there? END He's currently off. Do you need the file, or what did you want from him? END Yes the file would be a good start. END Try /isdc/pvphase/nrt/ops_1/aux/adp/ref/irot/inst_misalign_20030717.fits OK, Thanks. I will take a look. END > Okay, I'm afraid I'm going to have to break up this little > lovefest - there's a party about to begin here. Do your > AIs and be good till we chat again! END > PS the party's a farewell party for Allan - so it's not > completely non-jemx-related, it that's any excusse..... > END Regarding AI 26.1, I am waiting for a new updated schedule before I send anything, OK? END > A schedule from ISDC that is....so buck up your ideas over Say hello to Allan from me, please! > there! END > Hello and good bye! END Yes, that too. END > Have a good weekend you all END Tomorrow is a working day - right? END > Yes - no parties. END And I thought you would be flooding us with emails all day tomorrow :-) END > Bye! bye Bye - envious!
