Perform new simulations using the new LSST v2.0 simulations #28

Closed tms-epcc closed 1 year ago

tms-epcc commented 2 years ago

From March'22 quarterly update.

Specifically to create new 4MOST target catalogues for their simulation analysis.

Deadline for this is 04/SEP/22.

In the FY22 Annual Evaluation this is referred to as "Analysis of the results of the Baselinev2+4MOST simulations to see the impact of each survey’s strategy and report back our findings to each community. These simulations will also include an LSST-driven observing plan." in the plan for Oct'22 to Dec'22

Chris has started
files downloaded and ready to be processed
related to #29
one of the VT files was created by the cadence task force.
Task force want feedback on how it performs for TiDES simulations

tms-epcc commented 2 years ago

mostly processed the files
next step is to run the D3.3.1 code, data now ready

13/JUL/22

as reported in the June'22 quarterly update this task continues in the July to September plan
the July to September'22 quarter will see 4MOST develop a more mature simulation structure.
[x] This will require the new target catalogues(see ticket description above) . The new target catalogues created, will be based on the latest baseline2 and rolling_cadence2 LSST strategies.
[ ] A tool will also be developed to create an observing guide for 4MOST. This software tool will take the LSST strategies and create a time-dependent map of where 4MOST should point on a given night. This will enable 4MOST to constantly have a fresh set of transients to observe by minimising the time spent in fields that do not have recent LSST observations.

completed the first of the above checkboxes

2nd checkbox - tool still being developed. Progress limited due to holiday season of European collaborators

tms-epcc commented 2 years ago

14/SEP/22

Tool in 2nd checkbox has been built. Now awaiting feedback from 4MOST before closing

still no word from 4MOST on the tool.
as per AE FY22 the task involves "Analysis of the results of the Baselinev2+4MOST simulations to see the impact of each survey’s strategy and report back our findings to each community. These simulations will also include an LSST-driven observing plan."

20/OCT/22 @chrisfrohmaier reported

all the simulations have been completed and 4MOST have released the analysis for these simulations
ticket can be closed.
