Telecon Notes Sept. 27 2018

Attendance: SH, Mathieu, Brandon, Clem, Ingunn
Regrets: Belen, Graca, Charles

Notes: Shaul

Agenda

  • Review of Report Schedule
    • Schedule (work backwards)
      • Submit 12/31/2018 = effectively Friday 12/21
      • 4 weeks to implement external review comments + final polish = 11/21 (11/21-26 - Thanksgiving)
      • Nov. 1: submit to external reviews; receive back between 11/9 and 11/19
      • Nov. 1 version: essentially final text; essentially final forecasts; essentially final Figures
  • Updates
  • Status of Report

Notes

  • A brief update from Belen: the last days I've been working on combining the different cleaned maps to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the final map, in order to provide the best possible maps to Graca for extracting the cosmological parameters. However, this is taking longer than I expected, so I do not have the final combined maps for the 91 and 92 cases yet.
  • SH describes the schedule for writing the report. We are planning to send the report to an external advisory panel. This sets the timetable for completion within 1 month. MR points out that at the moment there are only results from Commander1 on PSM models and from NILC on Clem's simulations.
  • As a kick-start for Ingunn, Clem summarizes which models are available. A brief discussion ensues about running one vs. many realizations. Ingunn points out that Commander2 is computationally intensive. We all agree to start with one realization per model and take it from there. SH advocates to go sequentially through Clem's models because this is what Belen is doing with SEVEM.
