some highlights: clear improvement in precision can be achieved - see plots in slides
pretty strong justification
is data volume considered? not so far - but should factor in there as higher efficiency will produce more data.
would also be be useful to add info on ngroups to the summary table
is compelling message to really convey that the detections are marginal so higher efficiency would make a differences to the most challenging proposals.
for MIRI we can in principle actually do ngroups = 1 if we don't care what it looks like. NIRISS will be doing this in commissioning.
NIRSpec pipeline validation: the gift that keeps on giving
jump step seems to be really weird on CV3 data. finds 10s of thousands of jumps in a small subarray (basically all the background pixels). found this was due to negative background counts.
maybe should just drop the jump step for subarrays (as these have no reference pixels)
should add an extra step after ref pixel correction step to manage this in cases where there is no ref pixels
could somehow detect the pre-amp resets independent of flux and correct...?
Nestor Espinoza will open a ticket (or multiple ones) to address this.
