The Solar System team created and distributed the mock Solar System Object Catalog.
The measurement plugin implementing Gaussian Aperture and PSF Photometry (GAaP) for measuring galaxy colors [dmtn-190, [Kuijken+15]]([1507.00738] Gravitational Lensing Analysis of the Kilo Degree Survey) was completed. Preliminary results show colors of simulated (DC2 ImSim) red galaxies are better recovered compared with CModel colors.
NCSA set up and continue monitoring of data transfers and ingests through the Transfers and ingest monitoring system (TIM).
