FgcmMakeLutTask

FgcmMakeLutTask computes a look-up table tracking atmosphere and instrumental variations for use in the fgcmcal fits. The intention is that this is run once for a given observatory/instrument and should only be updated when instrumental parameters change (e.g., updated filter and ccd throughput curves), or in the extremely rare case if an observatory is relocated to a different elevation or latitude.

This is the first task in a typical fgcmcal processing chain. The second is FgcmBuildStarsTableTask or lsst.fgcmcal.fgcmBuildStars.FgcmBuildStarsTask, the third is FgcmFitCycleTask, and the fourth is FgcmOutputProductsTask.

Processing summary

FgcmMakeLutTask uses an input atmosphere table (preferable) or a list of atmosphere parameters, combined with the instrumental throughput as a function of position, to compute a look-up table used in the fgcmcal fits.

Configuration fields

atmosphereTableName

Default
None
Field type
str Field (optional)
FGCM name or filename of precomputed atmospheres

connections

Data type
lsst.pipe.base.config.Connections
Field type
ConfigField
Configurations describing the connections of the PipelineTask to datatypes

parameters

Data type
lsst.fgcmcal.fgcmMakeLut.FgcmMakeLutParametersConfig
Field type
ConfigField
Atmosphere parameters (required if no atmosphereTableName)

physicalFilters

Default
[]
Field type
str ListField
List of physicalFilter labels to generate look-up table.

saveLogOutput

Default
True
Field type
bool Field
Flag to enable/disable saving of log output for a task, enabled by default.

saveMetadata

Default
True
Field type
bool Field
Flag to enable/disable metadata saving for a task, enabled by default.

stdPhysicalFilterOverrideMap

Default
{}
Field type
DictField
Key type
str
Value type
str
Override mapping from physical filter labels to ‘standard’ physical filter labels. The ‘standard’ physical filter defines the transmission curve that the FGCM standard bandpass will be based on. Any filter not listed here will be mapped to itself (e.g. g->g or HSC-G->HSC-G). Use this override for cross-filter calibration such as HSC-R->HSC-R2 and HSC-I->HSC-I2.
