Latest alert schema?

Support
#1

Hi all,

I just wanted to confirm if the following provides the most up-to-date schema for Rubin alerts: alert_packet/python/lsst/alert/packet/schema at main · lsst/alert_packet · GitHub

Thanks!

Hi @ryanlau, yes, that’s correct (in particular the version number referenced here, currently 9.0).

Where do we send detailed queries about this schema? For example, in lsst.v9_0.diaSource.avsc it’s not clear whether the DIASource “adaptive second moment of the source intensity” is measured on the difference image, or the science/visit image. For minutiae like this, do you want GitHub issues or pull requests, or comments here in community, or…?

Hi @drphilmarshall, thanks for this question. All members of the science community should please open new Topics in the Support category with questions about the Rubin data products (e.g., alert schema). Since you’re Rubin staff, you can also use internal methods to raise such issues.
