Hi all! I have a quick question regarding the Solar System Processing Pipeline and how HelioLinC3D will be implemented going forward. I have been experimenting with HelioLinC on some simulated data I generated using Sorcha, and of course in order to run HelioLinC on my tracklet file, I had to create a file containing the hypotheses about heliocentric radial motion (this is the file that is input using the -heliodist flag, as described here: GitHub - lsst-dm/heliolinc2: Solar System Processing using HelioLinC2 algorithm).
So I was just curious – during live Rubin observing, what hypothesis file(s) will be used when running HelioLinC3D? If this question is unclear, please let me know. Many thanks!
Second (the actual answer to your question!) there is an auxiliary repository GitHub - heliolinx/heliolinx-aux: Test, old versions, and other scraps for heliolinx development that has the hypotheses. From heliolinx-aux, click on the subfolders tests → hypotheses, and you will see folders for hypothesis files targeting NEO, main-belt, and TNO populations. As a first test, I recommend using one of the main-belt files: specifically, hihyp01b_mb.txt.
Hi Ari and Jake (@aheinze@Gerenjie) – thank you both so much for your extremely helpful replies. Ari, many thanks for pointing me toward the right HelioLinC! Very useful to know the location of the hypothesis files as well, and thanks Jake for the information about the current status of which hypothesis set will be used during active observing. Once the hypothesis files are finalized, will there be an announcement / somewhere to go to view the files that are implemented?
