FgcmFitCycleTask¶
FgcmFitCycleTask runs a single fgcm fit on the star observations generated from lsst.fgcmcal.fgcmBuildStars.FgcmBuildStarsTask using the look-up table generated from FgcmMakeLutTask. This code is meant to be run multiple times until convergence, and the results output from one “fit cycle” are used as an input to the subsequent fit cycle. One final cleanup run is performed to generate the tables required for input to FgcmOutputProductsTask.
This is the third task in a typical fgcmcal processing chain. The first is FgcmMakeLutTask, the second is FgcmBuildStarsTableTask or lsst.fgcmcal.fgcmBuildStars.FgcmBuildStarsTask, and the fourth is FgcmOutputProductsTask.
Processing summary¶
FgcmFitCycleTask reads in the star observations and the look-up table, performs an atmosphere and instrument fit, and outputs fit parameters as well as a comprehensive list of QA plots. If the config option isFinalCycle is set to True then additional datafiles are output that are used by FgcmOutputProductsTask.
FgcmFitCycleTask will output a new config file in the current working directory with recommended settings for the subsequent fit cycle. Furthermore, there are a wide range of diagnostic QA plots that are output by the task. For details on the contents of these QA plots, please see the cookbook as well as Burke, Rykoff, et al. 2018.

These are used on the first fit iteration, and aperture correction parameters will be updated from the data if config.aperCorrFitNBins > 0. It is recommended to set this when there is insufficient data to fit the parameters (e.g. tract mode).
