Participators: Quan-Zhi Ye, Mike Kelley, Rex Chang, Bryce Bolin, Chow-Choong Ngeow, Frank Masci, George Helou, Gerbs Bauer, Lynne Jones, Zhong-Yi Lin
QZ: ZTF status - has been observing in g, i and r, most nights loss to weather, referencing image building in g, i still needed
Frank: filter exchanger is in commissioning, ZTF in half-commissioning, half-operation mode
Rex: progress in light-curve ML training, binary map for the new TensorFlow model
QZ: primitive streak screening page on the marshal is now under test (http://yupana.caltech.edu/marshals/qye/streaks/index.htm -- username/password in email), experiments on limiting mag of ZMODE detection: r~19.5, i~18.5. Comments from Frank: there is a 10 sigma cutoff of the sources before entering the ZMODE stream, also there is a r=20.0 cutoff of sources (this will increase as we get more understanding on the system) Comments from Bryce: it will be good to display probabilistic scores of the streak candidates; will point-like candidates be posted on marshals? QZ: now priority is on streaks, but getting ZMODE detection displayed has been discussed
Mike: examining the main-belt comets listed by Kim et al. (2018) -- (https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00566 )
Gerbs: examining ZTF images of some Centaurs. Comments from QZ: working on producing ZTF field list observed in the previous night, could be used to determine the detection rate of Centaurs, comets, recovery rate in ZMODE
Bryce: thinking about APO quarterly proposal (due late April), UW has time for ZTF follow-up; for emergent events DDT is possible.
Zhong-Yi: working on phase angle observation of asteroids; will check ZTF data
Chow-Choong: testing Lulin telescope for trailed NEA follow-up
Next meeting TBD (coincide with ZTF meeting)
