Agenda
Status of the updates for the next release in June 2011
- JMMC Catalogue
- diam_vk values to be present for all stars, also for those that are present in the Borde or Merand catalogues;
- fixing of the problem of "faulty diam_vk computed from wrong magnitudes coming from Bordé" mentioned in the email from S. Lafrasse, dated 3 Dec 2010 17:41:54;
- addition of the MIDI consortium calibrator catalogue;
- ESO CalVin Interface
- fixing of a bug in the computation of the shadowing, and addition of delay line limits;
- addition of the seeing-dependent limiting magnitude for AMBER;
- enabling of the LST/HA option;
- enabling of the search by visibility;
Discussion on possible longer-term improvements
Compared to our original science requirements document, the following items are not yet or not fully implemented. Should they ?
- Spectral type, luminosity class, temperature, surface gravity, LMN magnitudes in the catalogue
- information on quality as astrometric reference star;
- information on quality as spectral calibrator (cf. Sect. 3 of the science requirements document);
- Use of a bad calibrator list and feedback to the catalogue (cf. Sect. 3 of the science requirements document);
- Information on previous observations and measured quality of a calibrator (cf. Sect. 4 of the science requirements document);
- display of feasible LST range for science target and calibrators (also search for desired LST range) cf. Sects. 5&6;
- "The new tool shall make use of modern visualizing capabilities and be designated with ease of use in mind" (cf. Sect. 7) Are we there ?
The science requirements document stated
- "Strategy to find calibrators and to estimate their diameters shall be discussed and regularly revised" How do we do this ?
Short informal outlook on our collaboration?
