lsst.fgcmcal

The lsst.fgcmcal module runs the Forward Global Calibration Method (FGCM) to perform global photometric survey calibration for LSST. Please see Burke, Rykoff, et al. 2018 for the paper describing the method. This lsst.fgcmcal package wraps the third-party package fgcm.

Using lsst.fgcmcal

Please see the cookbook for a runthrough on how to use lsst.fgcmcal.

There are four tasks to be run in a typical global fgcmcal processing chain. They are:

  1. Make a look-up table: FgcmMakeLutTask
  2. Build the star lists: FgcmBuildStarsTask
  3. Run the fitter: FgcmFitCycleTask
  4. Output the final products: FgcmOutputProductsTask

Alternatively, fgcmcal can be run on a single tract (with multi-band coverage), although the results will not be as robust as a full global calibration. This can be run with FgcmCalibrateTractTask, which will run all of the tasks above except for the making of the look-up table.
