LVC Fermi skymaps

Min-A Cho requested to merge min-a.cho/gwcelery:ligo_fermi_skymaps into master

This merge request will address #2 (closed)

Things done already:

  • Update ligo.skymap with new joint skymap creating ability
  • Release version 0.0.8 of ligo.skymap which has above joint skymap creating ability

This is taken care of by https://leo-singer.docs.ligo.org/ligo.skymap/ligo/skymap/tool/ligo_skymap_combine.html

Things left to do:

  • Step 0. Try downloading the Fermi skymap and bayestar skymap for GW170817 and see if I can re-create https://gracedb.ligo.org/apiweb/events/G298048/files/bayestar-gbm.fits.gz,0
  • Next, create task in gwcelery to call this new joint skymap creating ability for LIGO/Fermi skymaps
  • Successfully download correct Fermi skymap
  • Successfully download correct LIGO skymap
  • Successfully call ligo.skymap to create joint LIGO-Fermi skymap
  • Upload the new bayestar-gbm skymap to GW trigger page
  • Add task to workflow in gwcelery.tasks.dispatch
  • Trigger task when the label EM_COINC is applied in dispatch.py
  • Poll the external trigger skymap URL until a skymap shows up with a reasonable time out. This way we don't have to worry too much about a race condition...........

Look here for help: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/tasks.html#automatic-retry-for-known-exceptions

  • Create additional test files if necessary

  • Add tags 'sky_loc' and 'lvem' to the combined skymap

  • Rebase after merge request !59 (merged) passes & get rid of explicit service statements

  • Upload Fermi skymap to external trigger GraceDb page (requested by Michal Was)

  • Raven coincidence is between superevent and external trigger so update how the preferred event sky map is found
