== Agenda ==

  * FSL progress
    * Made reasonable beams. More of the central peak needed to be masked out.  At ell of a few 100 only about 45 dB of variation between the main beam and the rest of the map can be reconstructed.  The lowest values of the final maps is about 10^-6, maximum of the final map is 2.5x10^-2.
    * For these maps 5 deg in radius was masked out by setting the main beam to the value of the first unmasked pixels.  This is a 10 deg diameter mask.
    * {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-10-08:grasp_fullsky_mask5px.png?direct&200|grasp fullsky}} {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-10-08:grasp_mainbeam.png?direct&200|mainbeam, masked}} {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-10-08:combined_mainb_fullsky.png?direct&200|combined beams, stokes}} {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-10-08:from_alms_fullsky_400pxmask5d_l720_cart2.png?direct&200|reconstructed alms}}
    * Andrea Z submitted simulation jobs yesterday evening - expecting execution in next day or two.
  * Gain error figures for report
    * prior estimate of the CMB is not used - so text should reflect this point.
  * Merge all systematics figures into a single one?
  * Report draft {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-10-08:systematics.pdf|}}
    * Make an additional offline document: there are plans to host a repository of PICO supplemental information (not just systematics) that would be available to the Decadal committee members.
  * Actions
    * Brendan: try to shrink table, moving full version to the supplemental document
    * Shaul, Eric, Maurizio: touch base to discuss plots this week (ahead of Shaul's talk in Tenerife next week).
