Data analysis

Monika Petr-Gotzens, Fernando Comeron, Gaitee Hussain, Paula Teixeira, Suzanne Ramsay, Thomas Stanke, Joana Oliviera Verification of initial pipeline products and reductions, verification of photometric/astrometric calibrations, check source extraction and catalogs/catalog merging, tile stacking, tile mosaicing, sky subtraction algorithm
and
report on specific aspects requested by the Public Survey PIs
EverybodySend feedback on additional technical problems that you discover during the analysis of "your" data part (e.g. errorneous stacking of pawprints into tiles, photometry inconsistensies in phot catalogs of overlapping tiles, bad image qualities for individual detectors or 'whatever') to Monika, who reports to ESO-VISTA team and public survey PIs
