A short summary covering the LSSTCam commissioning science visits is now available on survey-strategy.lsst.io
This includes a database based on the consdb per-visit tables + rubin_nights add ons (converted where relevant to OpSim format).
I’d be curious to hear feedback about this database and how it’s useful (or what’s missing for it to be more useful).
Some notable differences from a standard opsim output simulation is that we have missing data – NaN s in the zeropoint column will lead to NaNs in the image depths, etc.
Some of this missing data could potentially be “shimmed” in but then this might be confusing (especially if the extrapolated depths were less accurate than the measured depths), and some just may not be possible to extrapolate. Other data could be added which would perhaps improve reliability of some measurements (while potentially adding even more NaNs where we thought we measured something but in fact did not do so very well at all).
Please note that MAF will run on this database … the major problem is dealing with the NaNs which is easiest done by dropping the records with missing data.
