Phony ephemerides

Y

Y

Not circulated, but not a problem

Improve albedo sources

Y

Y

YES for gamma rays

Implement and test variable sources

Y

N

Yes on implementation only

Binary pulsar sources

Y

N

No (although ephemeridies may handle them)

Test sky model

N

N

Written as way too late (June); now looking like end of Feb.

Orbit and attitude

Improved orbit/attitude simulation

Y

N

Maybe for better or worse we are going to live with precomputed ‘Stoneking’ profiles

LAT interstellar emission model

Update inputs to GALPROP

Y

N

In progress.  Draft of new ISRF exists

Updates to GALPROP

Y

N

In progress.  Work on pi0 production function, new parameterization, in progress

GALPROP generation of gamma-ray intensity

N

N

Still on track for Feb. 18

Science tools

Integrate st_graph with science tools, e.g., likelihood

Y

N

Not ready for integration

Finish integration of GTIs into tools

Y

~Y

Yes, except for data subselector (I think)

Build distributions of tools

Y

~Y

Never did get one for Windows; may now have one for debug builds

Data server

Data server itself

N

N

Nothing scheduled to be done up to now, and no progress

Update FT1, FT2 converters

N

N

From Merit to the world beyond

Data subselector w/ GUI

Y

N

Not yet

Create DC2 IRFs

Create DC2 IRFs (following bkgnd rej)

N

N

Hasn't happened yet, and did not expect it to

Likelihood

Plotting/GUI integration

Y

N

Not yet, see above

Binned vs. unbinned evaluation

?

~Y

Comparisons have been made (and being able to do so is impressive) but no clear cut conclusion

Zenith angle cuts

?

N

Not yet

Unification of source model definitions

Y

Y

More or less as unified now as they can be

Source model definition tool

GUI interface

?

Y/N

Yes (if Python/Tkinter), No if not

Interface with catalog access classes

?

N

Not yet possible

GRB tools

Evaluation of A9 vs. A8 (XSPEC12)

Y

N

Not yet; GRB unbinned spectral analysis tool does not exist yet

Scripting for binned spectral analysis (in XSPEC12, I think)

Y

N

Not yet; see above

GRB visualization (U13) vs. evtbin

?

N

No U13 yet

GRB temporal analysis (A7)

Y

N

Some progress

A10 spectral-temporal modeling

?

N

Not sure why this is separate from scripting above; in any case not done yet

Pulsar tools

Ephemeris extractor

~Y

Very close

Binary pulsars timing

Y

~N

In ephemeris file but I think not used yet by tools

Period search

Relation to evtbin for counts maps

Y

N?

Discussion on this stalled
