  1. Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Fermi Large Area Telescope Tutorial on Science Analysis Data Access Tony Johnson Stanford Linear Accelerator Center tonyj@slac.stanford.edu http://glast-ground.slac.stanford.edu/DataPortal

  2. Data Portal Components • The Data Portal Comprises: • Astro Server • Common History • Fits Skimmer • Merit Skimmer • Data Catalog • Web Interface • Linemode Client • Download Manager • Web Interface • Command Line • WIRED Event Display • This talk will only cover the items in red. • All components available via the web interface at: • http://glast-ground.slac.stanford.edu/DataPortal

  3. “Astro Server”

  4. Astro Server • Allows data to be selected based on any combination of: • Energy Range • Position in sky (ra,dec,radius) • Position can be looked up in SIMBAD catalog • Event Class (transient, source, diffuse) • Time Range (MET) • Can produce FT1 (fits), FT2 (fits) and/or Merit (root)* • Supports multiple “Event Samples” • Currently “LEOScience” or “Level1” • Can support access to multiple versions of data once we start reprocessing, or if we want to have any kind of special event selections • Level1 data currently loaded as soon as it becomes available from pipeline • Web and command line interfaces available * Coming Soon

  5. Astro Server Web Interface Page pre-populated with your most recent selection You can give job meaningful name Leave fields blank for “no-limit” Give name of astronomical object, sirius, M31, MCG+02-60-010 Expert options allow experimental features to be easily added

  6. Astro Server Web Interface… README contains job parameters

  7. Common History • Data Portal History can be used: • Show status of all your skimmer/astro server jobs • To access output directory, pipeline details for all jobs • Recover parameters of any job Tutorial Demo Click to go to output directory Click to go to pipeline Click to recover parameters

  8. Common History… • Clicking on job name in history recovers parameters • Allows rerunning same or similar job

  9. “Fits Skimmer”

  10. Fits Skimmer • Supports merging any FT1/FT2* files in data catalog • Allows “fcopy rowfilter” style cuts to be applied to FT1 columns • Example: • ZenithAngle<105 && CTBClassLevel==3 • http://heasarc.nasa.gov/lheasoft/ftools/headas/rowfilter.html • Allows selection of data based on meta-data in data catalog • Examples • sIntent==“nomSciOps” • LEOScience=="1835Survey“ • nMootKey==2103 || nMootKey==2104 • Outputs FT1 and FT2* files * Coming Soon

  11. Fits Skimmer Web Interface Page pre-populated with your most recent selection You can give job meaningful name Row Filter Data Selection (this is the selection Richard has been using for making merged FT1/FT2 files)

  12. Fits Skimmer Web Interface…

  13. Fits Skimmer vs. Astro Server • Astro Server • Allows cuts on energy, time, position, event class • Suitable for selecting limited number of events • Can output FT1, FT2, Merit* • Can only be used with data loaded into database • Uses database for efficient access to selected events • Fits Skimmer • Allows cuts on any FT1 column • Suitable for merging many files with minimal cuts • Can output FT1, FT2* • Can be used with any dataset in data catalog • Fully reads all input files • In future smarter single web interface may automatically choose most appropriate backend tool. * Coming Soon

  14. “Data Catalog”

  15. Data Catalog • Allows access to many datasets including: Level1 data, ASP data, Reprocessed data, MC data sets Key locations allow attention to be drawn to important datasets

  16. Data Catalog… • Data Catalog has been designed to be extensible • Can science groups make better use of data catalog? • Use it to define standard datasets? • As alternative to sending e-mail with location on user disk • See LEOScience folder as example • Use meta-data to keep track of common data selections • E.g. goodData==true instead of complex set of sIntent cuts

  17. Status • Working on improving documentation • Adding FAQ’s at: • https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/ds/Data+Access+FAQ • Please contribute your own questions (we will try to provide the answers) • Data Portal is now mostly complete • Most of the planned functionality is available • Documentation is improving • We need to work with Science Groups to make sure we are making optimal use of the available tools • We need input from Science Groups (=you) on what additional features are needed/desired • E-mail me, or use helpsoftlist@glast.stanford.edu

  18. Discussion Items • Astro server • What data should be loaded? • Currently loaded with all FT1 (including LEO) satisfying “Richard’s” sIntent cuts • Should we remove early data? • Is this is the “right” set of data? • Currently all “transient, source, diffuse” data classes • Original plan was for less data, may need to beef up server as we get more data • Weekly summary DST files? • What data, when/how to make them? • Can science groups make better use of data catalog? • Use it to define standard datasets? • Use meta-data to keep track of common data selections
