adding HSC's makeCoaddTempExp config file

[boutigny]

I think that we should set config.doAttachTransmissionCurve = False. Regarding skyCorrection, I don't know if it makes sense to run it. I will ask HSC people.

[boutigny]

Informations on skyCorrection is available at: https://community.lsst.org/t/hsc-defaults-now-require-sky-correction/2631 At first look, I would say that we need to run it

[heather999]

Thank you @boutigny. I set doAttachTransmissionCurve to False. Concerning skyCorrection, I assume we should pull in HSC's skyConfig.py? The contents are minimal:

import os.path
from lsst.utils import getPackageDir

config.bgModel.load(os.path.join(getPackageDir("obs_subaru"), "config", "hsc", "focalPlaneBack
ground.py"))

But I'm not sure their focalPlaneBackground.py is appropriate for our use. Its contents are:

more focalPlaneBackground.py
# Configuration for background model of the entire focal-plane

config.xSize = 1024
config.ySize = 1024

I think Bob Armstrong may be looking at skyCorrection.py too, I don't have a way to ping him yet on these Github repos, but perhaps something to discuss at the DM-DC2 meeting.

[boutigny]

The HSC focalPlaneBackground.py is certainly not suitable for obs_lsstSim. We need to figure out how to build one.

[heather999]

Now that Bob Armstrong is in the Github organization, I've added him to this PR.

@jchiang87 is this something to add to your growing list of questions for DM or perhaps Hsin-Fang Chiang? What Slack channel(s) do we use to communicate with her?

[jchiang87]

I don't actually have a growing list per se. For stuff like this, I would post on community.lsst.org, since Leanne has asked that we make use of that forum where possible.

I'm not sure I understand why focalPlaneBackground.py wouldn't work for obs_lsstSim. We may want to tweak the parameters, but I don't see why the algorithm shouldn't work.
