From FY24 Q2 QU

29/MAY/24

• looking at DESI laminar data set but do not yet have a compilation
• Year 1 dataset cannot yet be shared with all of DESC
• Benjamin also looking at vanilla datasets for this

[tms-epcc]

26/JUN/24

• messy on the DESI side
• Benjamin will speak to DESI in two weeks to get information on people and datasets in order to progress this
• DESI public release delay is a hindrance but have alternative approaches if necessary

24/JUL/24

• Benjamin attended the DESI meeting
• March '25 is the release date for year 1 data
• while there are appropriate datasets they are not yet compiler into an easy to use form
• discussed with people on getting this done
• Have identified fixes that allow whole forest to be used. This though is novel so will simulate first with an LSST like sample into the mocks for forest and then build a clustering estimate to evaluate performance
• Depending on results will decide on prioritisation of the task
