Scheduler simulations

Runs where deep drilling fields are executed as specified in the AGN DDF white paper. We vary the amount of time the u filter is loaded. These are much shorted DDF sequences compared to our standard DDFs.

Experiments where some observations in u and g are intentionally taken at high airmass. We vary the number of high-airmass observations that are desired per year.

Experiment to try and get the deep drilling fields more balanced.

The deep drilling strategy presented in the DESC DDF white paper, varying how long the u filter is loaded.

Minor experiment to keep slews small especially in altitude.

Simulation similar to the altSched strategy where the entire survey footprint it observed uniformly, alternating observing north and south each day.

The baseline attempts to observe pairs in different filters (g+r, r+i, or i+z) with 1x30s visits. We also test observing with 2x15s visits and pairs taken in the same filter.

Observing the bulge and galactic with a variety of footprints and driving certain cadences

Adding 2 pointings as a DDF to cover the Euclid DDF area.

Vary how long the u filter stays loaded around new moon.

A variety of potential survey footprints

No runs, just a place to put MAF results

No runs, just a place for quick notebooks looking at things

Directory for testing that the code is returning identical results cross-platform.

Taking pairs in widely separated filters, and testing observing a third observation.

An experiment where we combine rolling cadence with altSched.

Same as roll_alt, but with the survey footprint set to avoid high extinction areas.

A variety of rolling cadence strategies.

No runs, just a place to put slurm scripts to run on cluster

Testing how much weight to place on collecting full-footprint imaging in all filters every year.

Looking at executing a NEO survey in twilight time.

Baseline-like surveys without any deep drilling fields, looking at what fraction of time needs to be given to the WFD area to still meet SRD requirements.

Running a footprint that is just the WFD area to test how much contingency the system has.
