  • Plotted the color diagram for all the objects in stacked gpc1v3. The diagram gets too cluttered if I plot all the objects, so I limited it to points where the error bars are small (<0.002 mag).

Stubbs comments, June 30 2013.

Anyhow, I'm pretty sure the code is working, so I'm going to go ahead and look at the NCP data. Identifying a common set of stars from that data is probably going to be more difficult because we don't have stacked images, but my idea now is to look for a few "good" images taken in photometric conditions and identifies the stars from there. Will try this tomorrow.

So I have been playing around with MDF data for a while more because the stacked data from photpipe produces a nice catalogue, and that trims down the amount of data I have churn through by a lot. Anyway I found the color residue (I used instrumental colors minus the colors calibrated using SLR) against g-r calibrated color. There does not seem to be much of a trend at all:

I limited the data to only points with small error bars, but still there's no trend:

So this seems to suggest that the error in color is not a function of stellar color? I will try this again with unstacked ipp data soon.

Data access on Odyssey:

  1. Run JAuth.jar to get login key
  2. ssh -Y into to odyssey.fas.harvard.edu, or herophysics.fas.harvard.edu, using the electronic key. 
  3. run tcsh
  4. source .myrcstubbs
  5. data are at /n/panlfs/data/MIRROR/ps1-md/gpc1/
  6. nightly science uses individually warped images, nightly stacks run on stacked frames
  7. image types: wrp is warped. 
  8. see available modules with "module avail"
  9. load a module with "module load hpc/ds9-5.6"
  10. photometry is in .cmf files, as FITS tables. 
  11. in python: 
    1. import pyfits as p
    2. p.open('filename')
    3. print a[0].header
  12. or, imhead on command line
  13. a[1].data.AP_MAG for aperture magnitudes
  14. PSF_RA and PSF_DEC are in the skycell files. 
  15. make a scratch directory for data in /n/panlfs
