Monday, 30 April 2007 ===================== Attending: Mike A'Hearn Stephanie McLaughlin Lori Feaga Mike DiSanti Ludmilla Kolokolova Al Schultz Humberto Campins Beatrice Mueller Rose Early Uwe Fink Tony Farnham Anne Raugh Don Hampton (by telecon) Steve Adams (by telecon c. 9:30) Tilden Barnes (c. 10:00) David Rabinowitz (by telecon) Bobby Bus (by telecon) General Notes ============= - Consider adding or rewriting an "Information for New Users" page to display and link in to prominent places in web site. Make sure it includes warnings for Windows users on how to handle CAT files. Also include a description of types of reference citations and where they should be defined. - Add information about display programs and download sites for various viewers. - The browse image pages are very useful. U. Fink suggests that they be included as SOP for image collections. - Update the "review_instructions.html" and include a link to the file types page. - In the "Support Archives" mission file, edit the first sentence to use the "MISSION_NAME" form of reference. - In the web site documentation, consider adding acronyms (like OLAF) and some info on PDS jargon (like "catalog file" and element references). - In cases like the DI_IRTF_MIR files, we need to provide more specific instructions to reviewers for manipulating non-trivial data formats into something that can be viewed or analyzed, even (and especially) when there is no "Data Processing" section in the data set description. - Consider reformatting entire data set presentation on SBN web site. * Is there is an assumption regarding the direction of measurement of NORTH_CELESTIAL_CLOCK_ANGLE that will have to be dealt with in OLAF? Private Notes ------------- - DI movies are not linked into SBN web pages in a useful way. DIDOC_V3 -------- o The organization does not seem to be particularly friendly for general users. H. Campins and U. Fink will reply at a later time with suggestions for reorganization. o The context images (DI HI-IR) for look-back sometimes have the impact site circle in space, rather than on the comet. This needs correcting - probably by removing the circle. General DI liens ================ o Add a prominent explanation of what "Earth Received Time" actually is. DIHI9P_ENC_V2 ------------- o Need a better explanation of the spectral wavelength extension in the FITS files. o Need a more prominent mention of the location of the instrument/image mode descriptions. DIHV9P_ENC_V2 ------------- - No specific liens DIMV9P_ENC_V2 ------------- o Consider adding a supplementart index with file name, target, start time and exposure duration to the index/ directory. o We need a high-level reference/pointer to the Excel spreadsheet in the documentation volume that tabulates the various image parameters. o If possible, generate a list of those observations where it is known the target was missed or there were imaging/exposure problems. DIIV9P_ENC_V2 ------------- o No specific liens DI_MARTIR --------- o Please add the published light curve (JPEG and ASCII table of photometry). Recommend that these be combined with the MARTIR data in a new data set. Cross-reference all data sets. o If possible, add table of missing RA, Dec and airmass information from first night. o Document at a high level the North/East orientation of the images (as reassurance for users). o Document that overscan was not trimmed from "Reduced" images. (Verify that these are, in fact, reduced first). o Add a description of where the bad columns are in the images. o Please expand on the description included in the instrument catalog file. o Scan observing logs and add to documentation. o Consider adding a supplementary index with TARGET_DESC and basic parameters for each file. DI_KPNO ------- o Please add the published light curve (JPEG and ASCII table of photometry). Recommend that these be combined with the MARTIR data in a new data set. Cross-reference all data sets. o comet_position.txt: Note in the descriptive information how the comet position was found (by computing centroid around the brightest pixel). WILD2_CAL --------- o Documents must be checked for attribution and amended as needed. o Add an equation to the end of section III in the navcam_calibration.* documents showing calibration constants. Add a table of these constants to the documentation. o Add the calibration factor used for each image to its PDS label and FITS header. o Add pixel coordinates for the comet center to the PDS label and FITS header for the navigation/ images. o If possible, add thumbnail browsers to this dataset. DIFB_TEMPS ---------- o Mention in the dataset.cat that all temperatures are in degrees Celsius. o MISSING_CONSTANT value should be changed to "-999.999" from "1.E32". o Change the definition of the first column in the temperature tables to indicate that the first column is, in fact, the day-of-year and fractional day. Also mention the actual year. o If possible, add diagram(s) showing where the sensors were located. o Stephanie and Don H. will consult and make sure the tables we have are the 20-minute average tables we were expecting. o Consider adding simple plots to the documentation directory showing the temperature profile for each sensor or group of sensors. o In the catinfo.txt file, the HRII.CAT file refers to the MRI, and the file for MRI is not included at all. DI_IRTF_NIR ----------- o Need to add a reference for the standard star magnitudes. o In the dataset.cat file, define the star catalog abbreviations. o If possible, scan log sheets into document files and add to the document/ subdirectory. o Add a synopsis of the weather conditions to the data set description in the dataset.cat file. o Add operating temperature for the H3+ filter, and indicate whether this corresponds the nominal temperature for the band pass given in the data set description. Also add "delta_lambda/lambda = " prior to the "0.5%" in the band pass entry. o If possible, add TARGET_DESC to hold the actual name of calibration stars to PDS labels; alternately, add supplemental index to contain the basic file parameters. o Add a description of the method used to derive spectrophotometry from these images, with a reference to the spectroscopy data set. DI_IRTF_SPEC ------------ o Add a description of the method used to derive the spectrophotometry, with a reference to the imaging data set. o Add documentation of the variation in tau over the observing nights to the document/ subdirectory. o The same treatment should be applied in this dataset.cat file with respect to the standard star list/table as in the NIR data. o The "movie" PDS labels are wrong - they do not represent the dimensionality of the data. o Either indicate the correct START/STOP time for each individual _movie file, or concatenate the related movie sequences into a single file (or both). o The dataset.cat file references "Cushing, et al." as "RAYNERETAL2003B". This appears to be an OLAF artifact. o The dataset.cat file references "Fernandez, et al. (2007)" but does not cite it in the reference list or define it in the descriptive text. o Please add a high-level description of what a user will see in each type of mode to the instrument catalog file. If there is more detailed documentation that can be included in the document/ subdirectory, that would also help. o There are numerous problems with the PDS labels: - UNIT should probably be "ADU", not "ADUS" (units are singular), and as "ADU" is not CGI, it should probably be spelled out. (Perhaps "DN" is sufficient.) - DERIVED_MAX/MIN are being used without SCALING_FACTOR or OFFSET. - SAMPLE_TYPE should be "MSB_SIGNED_INTEGER" (MSB_INTEGER is deprecated because of ambiguous range). o Please add a wavelength range to the labels for the movie files. o Add observing logs or sky condition summary. DI_IRTF_MIR ----------- o Add a "Data Processing" section to the data set description that outlines the basic procedure for manipulating the data into a reasonable viewing format. o Add observing logs or sky condition summary. *** This review is suspended, pending availability of H. Campins and *** M. DiSanti to investigate the data. If they are able to complete *** a review to their satisfaction by June 15 (Friday), the review will *** be concluded at that time and the data set accepted (with liens) or *** rejected according to their results. If they are not able to *** complete this review by June 15th, the data set will be deferred to *** the next comet review.
