  4. LSST Calibration Simulation WP1 - LSSTFOV(i). Elevation, azimuth, camera rotation, filter, date and time, etc from LSST Operations Simulator output file. Indexed sequentially from i=1 to the total number of LSST visits in the observing period. WP2 - Standard and Target SEDs. Top-of-the-atmosphere SEDs for reference (e.g. main sequence), standard (e.g. DA WD) stars, and test science targets (stars, and perhaps galaxies). WP3 - Instrumental Response Ir(x,y,n,i). Response of the telescope and camera to photons (with frequency n) in the telescope pupil from sources on the sky that are imaged with centroid at (x,y) in the focal plane. Output is ADUs in the computer. WP3 - Flats and Biases. Data used in the Calibration Pipeline - dome flats, bias frames, etc. WP4 - AUXFOV(j). Operating parameters for the Auxiliary Telescope (AT); elevation, azimuth, instrument, exposure duration, date and time, etc. Indexed sequentially from j=1 to total number of AT visits in the observing period (not constrained to number of LSST visits). WP4 - Atmospheric Extinction Zr(az,el,n,i/j). Extinction in the atmosphere for both LSST and AUX FOVs. Includes spatial (az,el) and temporal correlations for FOVs i and j. WP1 - Model Image Catalog. Object-indexed catalog of photometric quantities (and others as appropriate) computed from modeled parameters for each LSST visit (two images). Output is in raw ADUs in the computer.

  5. LSST Calibration Simulation - UBERCAL UBERCAL - "CMB-like" method (replace CMB temperature fluctuations with the magnitude of stars) Relative calibration achieved using repeated observations. Absolute calibration obtained by comparing with standard stars. That is not a new idea. New : large angular scale and accuracy. The flux : K=K(exposure time, detector efficiency, filter response, telescope optical system, atmosphere, SED) (K gives the absolute calibration) Conversion of flux to magnitude : a(t) = optical response of the telescope and detectors f(i,j;t) = detector flat fields (in magnitudes) (i,j= CCD coordinates) k(t) x = atmospheric extinction (x = airmass = sec(z) in astronomy) ADU - Analog -to-Digital Unit is the digitization of the analog detector output August 2007 Bogdan Popescu

  6. LSST Calibration Simulation - UBERCAL Here t is for one night only; tref = reference time, midnight usually. (a, b, g indexing the appropriate a-term, k-term (and tref) and f-term) j = counts multiple observations; i = ith star. August 2007 Bogdan Popescu

  7. LSST Calibration Simulation - UBERCAL Using a large number of star (table example from SDSS*) and priors for k-terms and flat fields (mean values), the accuracy can be < 1%. Finaly : Relative calibration + Zero Points (for each filter) = Absolute Calibration * Padmanabhan et al, astro-ph/0703454v1 August 2007 Bogdan Popescu

  10. Package Description The original plan for creating this package was to allow us to look at the various search methods being applied to find massive clusters in the inner galaxy, and to figure out how these are biased by distance, age, extinction, and compactness of the clusters. We intended to create a simulation of our view of the MW with a variety of assumptions about the distribution of clusters in the MW and to see if current search methods would  find any differences. We would base these MW simulations on what is seen in fully face-on galaxies that have a similar star formation rate as the MW. Thus, this would be a reasonable first step towards understanding the distribution and the characteristics of such clusters, since   present searches have no way of determining their real 'limit' and sampling biases.   August 2007 Bogdan Popescu

  11. Package Description MASSive CLuster - Mcluster = 103 - 104 - 105 - 106 solar masses Evolution - log(Tyears) = 3.00 .. 10.20 ANalysis - HR diagrams, color-magnitude diagrams, FITS images *. MASSCLEAN uses as input a small number of parameters : mass , distance, age, King Model parameters (rt , rc), extinction (AV , RV), metalicity. Using theoretical models - mass distribution (Salpeter IMF), stellar evolution (Geneva Database), spatial distribution (King Model) and extinction (CCM Model) - MASSCLEAN computes actual mass, absolute and apparent magnitude (UBVRIJHK), color indexes, temperature, luminosity and position for all the stars (over 40 000 stars for 105 solar masses cluster) and all the ages included in the Geneva Database. * using SkyMaker (Bertin 2001, Bertin & Fouque 2001-2007) August 2007 Bogdan Popescu
