PZ Requirements for Deep Drilling Fields

Investigating PZ requirements for DDF observing strategy. Concerns definition of metrics to maximize PZ science as well as same-sky benefits with DESI from PZ calibration.

Contacts: @sjoudaki @MarkusMichaelRau Huan Lin @humnaawan @nsevilla @fjaviersanchez @aimalz @beckermr Day/Time: Friday 2 pm EST Main communication channel: Slack Zoom room: PZ Zoom

Goals and deliverable

Definition of MAF metric to maximize PZ science.
Assembling team of interested stakeholders.
Plan future interactions with the observing strategy task force.

Resources and skills needed

Combined expertise from the PZ WG & RAIL team, the observing strategy task force, as well as the static analysis working groups such as WL and LSS.

I was thinking about this a bit, we know the locations of the LSST DDFs, and which spectroscopic datasets are available in each. We could develop RAIL degraders to mimic at least some of said spec-z datasets (or rough equivalents), and then use those to create mock datasets for each DDF. Those training sets could be used to train RAIL algorithms for various observing strategies to evaluate the impacts of different depth/coverage (probably using Qianjun's degrader). It's a bit ambitious, but probably doable with a fair bit of effort.

I've been meaning to wrap TheLastMetric for MAF since forever! Looping in @EiffL @jfcrenshaw @MelissaGraham in case they're also interested. I'll unfortunately only be available to sprint Wednesday-Friday though.

We will have a call on Wednesday Oct 19 at 1 pm EST to discuss PZ requirements for the deep drilling fields.

Everyone is welcome to join the call via the PZ zoom channel.

humnaawan commented 2 years ago

is there any chance we can push this meeting to some other time? I realize this is not ideal but there's the DESC SRD planning sprint focused on 3x2 point and clustering 1-3pm on Wednesday (advertised here) that I think is going to cause a conflict for people :(

We have rescheduled the meeting to Friday at 2 pm in the PZ zoom channel.
