Information for 2MASS Science Team Meeting, June 4-5, 1997
This page links all the information prepared for the Science Team prior to the 2MASS meeting at IPAC on June 4-5, 1997. We are attempting to provide all the information on the web instead of the usual FedEx mailing. This page will be updated as more information is put online. The list of changes is given below.
Specific information for the meeting is linked to each agenda item given below. General references:
The type of bullets used below distinguish between links to:
- Documents that were created for and directly support the agenda item, and
- Background or informational documents which indirectly support the agenda item. In some cases, these documents give the complete information to support the agenda item, but were not created directly for that item.
The filled bullets are quite noticeable, and thus you can easily page down the agenda to find those items with prepared documents.
The emphasis of this meeting is on the readiness of the
Northern hemisphere mountaintop system and the IPAC pipeline
for survey operations in preparation for making the case to the
2MASS external review board in July.

Additions / changes since noon 28 May 1997
Changes made on 28 May
- Added coma repeatability for galaxies under performance relative to level 1 specs (was previously listed only under pipeline status)
- Organized references under pipeline status into main references and other references
- Changed bullet type to identify main informational item under each agenda item.
- Added links under database status report.
- Corrected presenter for outside use of survey data to be M. Skrutskie.
- Added 2mass camera report as main item under cameras.
- Added effects of decreased exposure time... to survey strategy, and added Stiening as a presenter.
- Added survey strategy requirements ps document to survey strategy.
- Added "2mass tile versus reconstructed positions" to telescope and level 1 specs.
- Added "quality subsystem subsystem design spec" document to verification plan/data quality.
- Updated schedule link.
- Updated lunch on first day to include MSX video.
- Added discussion of 1.3 to 1.0 s integration to survey strategy
- Added link to page on effect of reducing exposure time on galaxies
- Added calibration strategy document
Changes made on 29 May
- Added link to actual dither pattern being used now, which is different than desired pattern, to survey strategy.
- Added links to weather movies and to on-site sky monitor channel for on-site quality control.
- Added 2mapps task list to verification plan.
- Added link to emails giving first reports on telescope/camera performance under telescope, camera and pipeline performance.
Changes made on 30 May
- Added link to camera flexure report to camera and pipeline status.
- Camera flexure report changed; deleted link to "2mass tile versus reconstructed positions" due to definition differences causing confusion in the analysis.
Changes made on 2 June
- Re-added "2mass tile versus reconstructed positions" to telescope and level 1 specs.
