IR--IR colors of Diffsky

Compare COSMOS-20 colors in JHK bands to Diffsky

Contacts: @evevkovacs Time: All day Main communication channel: #desc-css GitHub repo: In-person/Virtual/Hybrid: Zoom room (if applicable):

Goals and deliverable

Test the NIR colors of the Diffsky mocks to help validate the dust model. The most basic deliverable is a color-color scatter plot. Even better would be a validation test incorproated into DESCQA. Intermediate between these goals would be standalone code generating the plot that could be adapted into a DESCQA test.

Resources and skills needed

Using the DESC mock reader and making scatter plots

Detailed description

Make a scatter plot of JH vs. HK in a few bins of i-band apparent magnitude, comparing the prototype Diffsky mock to COSMOS-20
