Reasons for Change

  • Implement source alias db table for ptsrc_name entries in POINTSOURCES table.
  • LAT on-board localizations are unreliable.
  • Fix coordinates in TS map plotting code.
  • Enable GCN Notice generation from GRB_refinement task for blind search detections.
  • Move to ST v9r11 (This entails a full switch to numpy from numarray in the python scripts and hence affects almost all ASP subpackages.)

Test Procedure

Tested in dev on data in /ASP/TestSims2 and on data in prod database tables where possible.

Rollback Procedure

Revert to ASP v2r11p3 and ST v9r9.

CCB Jira

Details

  • ASP-61@JIRA Implement db table of aliases for ASPJ sources so that standard astronomical names can be used and multiple ASPJ entries can be reconciled.
  • The GRB_refinement task uses the positions from the GCN Notices as a seed for the position refinement and selects the notice that reports the smallest error as the best seed position to use. LAT on-board notices are unreliable and have unrealistically small error radii, so they should be ignored in determining the seed position. Here are examples of error circles for the two recent bursts GRB090323002 and GRB090328401:

    The black cones are the GRB flight error cones, the blue cones are GBM ground, and the red are the LAT on-board error cones. The dotted cross-hairs show the XRT positions for the afterglow emission from these bursts.
