[KIDS] QC catalogs for KiDS-INT-DR2, single-band sourcelists

Hi Gijs and all,

thanks for summing up things, here below some feedback which I prepared 
after having heard from Francesco who seems didn't receive this message 
(please add him to this mailing list). Let me announce that the 52 
catalogs are going to be produced tomorrow (we got a window on the 
beowulf to run KIDSCAT in parallel). Francesco has indeed adapted 
KIDSCAT to make use of the 60 beowulf CPUs and we are in the condition 
that we can produce 400 catalogs in 1h. So we are ready for massive 
extraction runs.

here I guess you mean NRN+FLB. Algorithm/code can be send straight away, 
if this is needed to start implementing the codes in AWE and possibly 
solve all the system compatibility problems. Be aware that the S/G 
separation also is not yet implemented in KIDSCAT but still as matlab 
code. You can either wait both tasks (S/G and limiting mag belo) are 
translated in some pgplot script or you can implement in AWE as they are.
I don't know whether this might be really high priority as we don't 
think that the current version of the catalog produced will be already 
ingested as integrated sourcelist rather than external sourcelist (see 
below).

as below, matlab codes will be sent

Currently catalogs contain 136 columns if the VIGNET ones are thrown 
away. We don't know yet how many of these columns will be kept and how 
many can be possibly added. I've been told that AWE can handle 100 
columns as integrated sourcelist. How about using the current version of 
the catalogs as external sourcelist? Linked to the original Coadd 
together with the other plots  (FWHM vs SNR, S/G, limiting, 
completeness, etc.) in the DBviewer as below?

yes Francesco and I agree that this should be very straightforward and 
we can provide all plots as above that you need to link to a page like this.

this is work in progress. Francesco will send an email next week about 
completeness and its implementation in KIDSCAT.
If you like, you can contact him directly and discuss this issue.

that would be very useful, although this might depend on the way we 
ingest the catalogs, right?

 From what I can see we are can provide all the plot/numbers as in that 
page (either already in progress or to be derived).
In particular

Stacking method: we are still stacked on only one right?
      u     g     r     i   : done
                chi2       : ?

Mask [binary]    : done
cats-{ugriz} +e(b-v): TBD
Galaxy Counts    : can be done
Star: Color-Color tracks: can be done
Seeing (FWHM in arc-second): done
Completeness limit point-like[80%/50%]: in progress
ompleteness limit extended (disk) [80%/50%]: in progress
unmasked MegaCam field (deg2): done
Median stellar Mag-Diff [KiDS-SDSS]: TBD (FLB, MR)

OK

see previous comment on the DBviewer.

Hope this can help.
