Will the zoom link to this session be posted here?

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 01:08PM

I can - and, up in this channel's Topic you can access the session's webpage, which has the links

Aah thanks. I was on that page but failed to notice it. I see it now.

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 01:09PM

Yeah they're down at the bottom there... and, for future reference, easy access to all Zoom links can also be found on the https://project.lsst.org/meetings/rubin2020/agenda .

Chuck Claver Mon 2020-08-10 01:25PM

@Melissa Graham I will be in the breakout - call on me if you need any clarifications.

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 01:25PM

Oh great! Thanks Chuck.

Kathy Vivas Mon 2020-08-10 01:43PM

Question for @Ranpal (she/her/hers) : will the new website you mentioned be integrated with the NOIRLab webpage?

Melissa Brucker (she/her) Mon 2020-08-10 01:47PM

Hi Kathy!

Preethi Nair Mon 2020-08-10 01:47PM

How do the science working groups interact with LSST?

Federica Bianco (she/her/hers) Mon 2020-08-10 01:48PM

@Preethi Nair I will talk about the Science Collabs in a bit

Federica Bianco (she/her/hers) Mon 2020-08-10 01:48PM

in this session

Preethi Nair Mon 2020-08-10 01:48PM

Thanks @Federica Bianco (she/her/hers) !

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 02:10PM

Hi @Melissa Graham . How are the DIASources associated into DIAObjects? What's the association radius?

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 02:15PM

I see this and will answer it here...

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 02:31PM

Couple of followup questions - no hurry!

Q2 - Will the DIAObject IDs be preserved for the annual data releases?

Q3 - Will the DIAObject IDs be consistent across survey years? (If not, we'll need to make sure that our broker data is properly spatially indexed!)

Many thanks!

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 02:34PM

I think this Community posts answers 2 and 3 for you: https://community.lsst.org/t/will-dia-objects-be-matched-between-drp-and-ap/4178/10

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 02:35PM

The part on "DIA Object Identifiers"

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 02:38PM

Then for your first question, it's not a strict radius but the source association algorithm will be more statistical, associating DIASources into DIAObjects probablistically. I need to find you the right citation for this information.

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 02:44PM

Many thanks! Yes, we will be dealing with alert production, so it looks like AP DIAObjects will not necessarily map to data release DIAObjects (globally unique across all years). Hence we'll need to make sure we are properly spatially indexed. I suspected this anyway, and we do spatially index, but good to see it in writing!

We'd be very interested in seeing that statistical association algorithm!

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 02:48PM

May I post your question about association to the Data Q&A Category of http://community.lsst.org to make sure the answer is permanently visible? Or, if you use http://community.lsst.org , could you post it there for us?

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 02:48PM

Feel free to post!

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 02:49PM

:thumbsup: :thankyou: I will later today thanks!

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 02:49PM

Thanks - I don't have an account yet, but I'll sign up!

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 02:52PM

(I see Michael WV asking similar questions!)

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 03:31PM

OK. Created an account now! Will ask the question about association in the Data Q&A area!

Melissa Graham Mon 2020-08-10 04:15PM

Oh hey great, thank you for asking it there, that saves me a bit of time! And, welcome to http://Community.lsst.org :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 04:29PM

Just browsing this Data Q&A channel... Is there a jargon buster channel? I'm immediately confronted with AP (alert processing?) and DRP (data release processing??). Also - before I post to there, I just wanted to ask you a question about your "Solution" answer to https://community.lsst.org/t/will-dia-objects-be-matched-between-drp-and-ap/4178/9 . You start by stating that the DIAObjects will be consistent across data releases, but then state that AP DIAObjects will not be the same as DRP DIAObjects. I guess this makes sense since transient objects (especially supernovae) are of course transient... and there's no need to relate them unless they are very long lived transients (AGNs?). When year 2 starts, we definitely want to know if we've seen this alert before in year 1. Hence will DIAObject IDs in year 2 from alert processing be consistent with DIAObject IDs as curated by our broker during year 1? (Probably doesn't make any sense to do that... Do we even care - since we'll have the data release?) (Apologies for the long-winded response. Maybe it's better if I take this all to the forum.)

Ken Smith Mon 2020-08-10 04:31PM

(Don't worry about answering this - I know you're super busy at the moment! I'll get my thoughts organised for the forum.)

K-T Lim Mon 2020-08-10 04:52PM

Alert Production DIAObjects are a continuous product with no discontinuities at year/DR boundaries. So new DIASources can be associated with DIAObjects from any previous time (although there's a one-year "expiration" if a DIAObject has not had any DIASources associated with it for that amount of time).

Melissa Graham Thu 2020-08-13 05:47PM

Hi @Ken Smith , just returning to some loose ends here.

Is there a jargon buster channel?
There is a Glossary and Acronyms look-up service on the website, here, which might be helpful? https://www.lsst.org/scientists/glossary-acronyms

Then, I see that you wanted to know more about Object IDs before posting your question on Community. A brief answer (in addition to @K-T Lim 's response):
- All Prompt Processing DIAObject IDs are unique across the whole 10 year survey.
- All Data Release DIAObject IDs are unique to that data release.

But please feel 100% free to re-ask or ask differently these questions, and/or to make multiple topics in the Data Q&A channel. That would be great!

Ken Smith Thu 2020-08-13 06:12PM

Thanks Melissa! Just one minor addition to that question... Apologies - I never got round to asking it in the community. Is there any relationship at all between DIAObject IDs produced by alert processing and DIAObject IDs in a data release (apart from position)? Even if you answer this, I'll try and remember to ask these questions again in the community for visibility. Great conference, by the way. Have really enjoyed the sessions. (I've been to Zoom meetings with 30+ people and it's been chaos - yet we've had 600+ people and it's been very smooth - even the interactive Zoom sessions with 200+ have worked well.)

K-T Lim Thu 2020-08-13 06:27PM

There is no mathematical relationship between the two sorts of DIAObject IDs. I also do not believe there is a requirement to create a mapping table between the two. Because of the differences in how they are generated, I suspect that there might be multiple ways to do such a mapping depending on the desired science, so this might fall outside Project scope.
