   * Imagine a final pointing error per pixel at the level of the map (individual sampling pointing error can be larger provided they are small enough that E and B are linear over the error range, and hence the error on E and B averages down as the pointing error averages down for repeated hits)   * Imagine a final pointing error per pixel at the level of the map (individual sampling pointing error can be larger provided they are small enough that E and B are linear over the error range, and hence the error on E and B averages down as the pointing error averages down for repeated hits)
   * B-modes get created from E-modes from this pointing error, in a way completely analogous to lensing   * B-modes get created from E-modes from this pointing error, in a way completely analogous to lensing

 +  * Ranajoy and Eric to look into T to B leakage effects,which may enter in here given that there is no half-wave plate.

 +=== Other Progress Updates ===
 +  * GRASP sims {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-02-14:grasp_status_20180214.pdf|status slides}}
 +     * Karl is running GRASP at 1 degree resolution for FSL calculations, it agrees well with Brad's higher resolution runs. 
 +     * A non-physical feature related to the stop between the primary and secondary is being investigated
 +     * In the meantime, Karl is taking with Julian to test interfaces: he will start with a simple empirical fit to the known physical FSL feature and attempt to plug it into toast tools.
 +     * Brendan to try to connect Karl to GRASP experts.
 +  * Gain mismatch
 +      * Good progress! A 40-day simulation that will allow shakeout of Maurizio's code is underway as we speak.  Once that is done, the full mission sim can proceed.  
 +  * Polarization Angle Calibration
 +    * {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-02-21:matias_cross-pol_20060709.pdf|Matias' Cross Pol memo}}
 +    * Ranajoy to investigate requirement
 +  * Systematics Memo Outline
 +    * Send Brendan feedback offline
