Modify the sky-subtraction framework in the pipeline by:
(a) exploring changes to the pipeline parameters
(b) developing bespoke algorithms for sky-subtraction, and optimizing them to work with the pipeline and for
speed.
The algorithms will take a holistic approach and aim to perform sky subtraction in a way that preserves LSB flux across all types of LSB structures
breaking this down into more manageable steps. Started developing software for test and validation. Many more similar iterations with testing on smaller images before testing on HSC data.
Unofficial milestone - the algorithm will be written up into a paper co-authored by Robert Lupton and rest of DM team. Hope for June'22 publication
Change Request C025 resulted in a change of title, focus and due date.
