Kerstin Paech University Observatory Munich North: PANSTARRS or HSC -- to be decided South: DES
External Data to be processed:
Required Input Data - DES:
Euclid Consortium
DECam and its CCDs
from Brenna Flaugher (Fermilab)
!

3 deg2 active area
Required Input Data - DES:
area
- 10 deg2 for a start,
100-200 deg2 better,
- verlapping with DES
filters/depth
- (u)grizY 10σ galaxy
depth ~ 24 mag
Required Input Data - DES:
pointing strategy
- 10x92 sec exposures in griz, 4x80sec in Y
- 2 or 3 filters per pointing
- gr in dark time
- izY in bright/day time
seeing, airmass, sky
- guidance from BCS/Mosaic2 (Desai et al. 2012)
average ~ 0.85’’ average ~ 0.14 peak@ ~ 22.5, 21.5, 20.5 18.75 for griz Y ~ 18.75
Required Input Data - DES:
data format and access
- fits files of raw exposures for download
- exposure information (e.g. AIRMASS, SEEING, EXPTIME, RDNOISE,...)
including WCS information (TAN or TPV projection)
- preferably in one MEF
- preferably HDU[0] should contain all the information that is the same for
all CCDs(e.g. FILTER, INSTRUMENT,...)
- preferably overscan region in column format
data volume (for ~200 deg2)
- 3 TB for 10 nights of observing
- ~20 deg2 (350 exposures of 600MB compressed) per night
- about 290 science exposures and about 60 calibration exposures (bias +
flats)
catalogs/truth tables
- for astrometry
- photometric calibration
- all simulated objects
Required Input Data - DES:
required for pipeline:
- crosstalk
- scattered light
- dome flats
not necessary for DES (not dealt with in processing):
- persistent charge effect in DECam
- non-linearities
- dark noise
Miscellaneous - DES:
Status/Plan Simulations:
- None (DECam simulator run by Huan Lin at FNAL)
Framework:
- Use local data base for testing
- ingest image and catalog meta data, catalogs into EMA for
next stage of processing Output (processing done at Munich):
- calibrated stacks (fits format) including weight and bad
pixel masks, PSF homogenized
- calibrated single images for OU-MER testing
- calibrated catalogs (in fits format)
- QA meta data
