Science Tools Working Group
We will have a short meeting tomorrow, 8-8:30 am Pacific, before the Catalog meeting.
Since August 12, the current release version of the Science Tools is v9r7p1. Here are the differences from v9r7. Among the updates are the addition of an optional zenith angle cut to gtmktime (see below). Also as described last week, a fix to gtmodel has been made. The skymaps and pointlike packages have been updated as well.
John Vernaleo has recently joined the GSSC as a programmer. He has been working with gtbin and gtrspgen, two Standard Analysis Environment tools that will be (or are being) distributed by the GSSC to support analysis of GBM data.
In the not-too-distant future, the Release Manager will be able to make builds of the Science Tools on RHEL5/gcc4 systems. This will be a step toward being sure that the Science Tools compile/run on more-current versions of gcc. Eric W. is working on making gcc4 builds of the external libraries.
Reminder: A tutorial on high-level analyses is most likely going to be scheduled for Monday, September 15, the day of splinter session meetings before the collaboration meeting at SLAC.
