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.

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. Deprecated: This field is deprecated and will be removed after v26.

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.
