Red-leak spectra	Produce the Level 2/2.5 products for spectra in the red leak region; Level 2/2.5 context	High	Currently the spectra are cut off at just above 190 microns, but we can now produce a reasonably-well line flux calibrated spectrum in this region	Using a slightly modified version of the the "calblock" SPG script	No extra requirements	Automatic, just running an SPG script	~350
PointingOffsetCorrection spectra for pointed observations	Provide the point-source corrected spectrum for pointed observations; possibly focussing only on those with point-like sources not located in the central spaxel in them; a SpectrumTable	High	The results of the POC script can be better than those provided in the SPG, and this is especially so for off-centred point sources	Using the "POC" interactive pipeline script	This script has been validated sufficiently to be used for almost any flux level, but we would need to run sanity checks on the results to be sure this applies to the fainter sources. If we limit the provision to point-like sources, off-centred or not, then we need to identify those	Most of the effort is on identifying the candidates (if not done for all pointed observations, willy-nilly). Some effort on sanity checking
Blue spectra (<55mum)	Provide the blue end of the spectral range, which is not part of SPG as it is uncalibratable.	High	A slightly modified version of the SPG script can be used to create these ranges, where we do not the the flux calibration	Using a slightly modified ipipe/SPG script	need to identify the obsids with this range	not much effort, mostly on making sure that this "blue bulk" runs probably and creates correct products

On and Off cubes provided separately

The on-source and off-source Level 2 cubes provided for the unchopped line and all chop-nod observations

Mid

These provide the most simply way to identify off-source contamination

using the SplitOnOff ipipe script for chop-nod, and using the SPG script for unchopped line but saving the products slightly earlier in the Level 2 part

little - scripts ready, just need to modify it to run on all observations and produce the desired FITS files with the desired naming convention. the postcard can be created using the same task as used currently by PACS

all unchopped line and chop-nod

Unchopped obsids with continuum removed	Subtract the continuum from all unchopped obsids so as to provide a cleaner spectrum; Level 2/2.5 context	Mid	The continuum is very uncertain and it had been agreed last year at an ICC meeting that removing this was a "good thing to do”	Range scans: use the RV methods to smooth and subtract the continuum; Line scans: use an optimised version of the line-finding task in the flatfielding task of the SPG. Fit/smooth and remove continuum and then produce all final results	Need to test methods and thereafter processing should be automatic	Producing the scripts: a few weeks (?), checking the results: continuous (but semi-automatic)	all ~1200 on-sources unchopped obsid	We also need to produce a report on the unchopped mode: based on DF paper but more examples and a proper measure of uncertainty based on e.g. comparing repeat observations, scatter in super-off, etc.
Ad-hoc HPDPs	For obsids found to be badly handled by the SPG, an expert will make the necessary adjustments to the pipeline so it can run; Level 2/2.5 context	Mid	These obsids are either not provided, or the science products are not of the same standard as all other obsids	These are obsids identified in an ad-hoc manner as needing help. Jira tickets, Kayako, unchopped with bad transients identified while the unchopped study is done, etc	Will only be done if it is feasible in terms of time and manpower		so far <10 candidates suggested
Line list catalogue	Spectral Feature catalogue	Nice to have but ICC have no interest here and consider it Low	SPIRE and HIFI have one, so why not PACS? Catalogues always produce unexpected science and are a very good Legacy product	Need scripts to find lines, fit lines and maybe identify lines	Need to create the scripts: KE has a student at Leuven testing out fitting lines, and may have a student in 2016-17 to test out finding lines	If the student projects go well, some time in 2017 the resulting scripts could be run on the PACS spectroscopy archive (or subsets of that)		Is being done by KME as a science project

Identifying background contamination; Removing the background contamination DE-SCOPED as an HPDP, but identifying them for QC is still on the table

Low

Results in SPG will be definitely not science-ready if the off position is contaminated

Need to identifty contaminated sources by comparing spectra in different off positions, spectra again a super-off, looking for line peaks in the off-source spectrum

New transients script results for unchopped obsids DE-SCOPED

Producing the output of the unchopped obsids reduced with the new transients script

Low

This script is supposed to produce better results and users may want to use it (esp. if they read the DF paper) %RED; now realised that that this is not the case
