#1 Sourcefinder SoFiA Beta Update 5

Post by Newshound »


Reduced logging in the assimilator logs so I can actually find things in them.



Fixed an extremely unlikely bug in the assimilator that fires if amazon's S3 servers can't be reached.

Fixed a bug with the assimilator attempting to remove temporary folders that don't exist.



It also appears as though one of the SoFiA result parameters, Wm50, is non-deterministic. Some runs calculate it without error, but others fail. Here's an example error log from two different runs of the same parameter set:



Result 1 (courtesy of emoga):

Warning (Parametrization): Cannot determine kinematic major axis. Source too faint.
Warning (Parametrization): Measurement of kinematic PA failed.
Warning (Parametrization): Kinematic major axis derived from just 2 data points.
Error (Parametrization): Calculation of Wm50 failed (3).
Warning (Parametrization): Failed to measure source line width.
Error (Parametrization): Cannot fit ellipse, source flux
