lsst/rubin_sim: v2.6.1
Abstract
v2.6.1 This consists primarily of minor changes that are bug fixes or small enhancements to aid with diagnosing issues. MAF updates The microlensing metric got a bugfix when calculating magnitude limits in the case of blended stars. Several metrics got updates in their default kwarg values, to be consistent with v5+ opsim output columns, making it easier to use these metrics with new simulations (old simulations may now need the kwarg set to the old value). the QSO metric was updated to work with numpy 2.4.0 (deprecation of single-element arrays -> scalar conversions). a line is added to the MetricGroupBundle to more easily identify which metric failed, if there is a failure. SimArchive (prenight sims, etc) Update fetch_sim_stats_for_night to return number of exposures per night (instead of across entire prenight sim). Add NoMatchingSimulationsFoundError exception when no simulations matching specifications are found. Fixed bug with fetch_sim_stats_for_night when calling function with simulation database credentials/access. Updated documentation for prenight simulation generations. The batch/scripts for running simulations is moving from rubin_sim to lsst_survey_sim. There are some updates here to help smooth the transition and work better with lsst_survey_sim. What's Changed Update rubin_scheduler and ts_fbs_utils versions on run_prenight_sims.sh by @ehneilsen in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/494 test -> tests in docs by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/496 Fix blended microlensing magnitude bug by @nsabrams in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/498 U/yoachim/microlensing flux by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/499 GalaxyCountsMetricExtended fix band by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/500 tickets/SP-2745: Update pre-night simulation cron jobs to use lsst_suryey_sim dependencies to get versions of rubin_scheduler, etc. by @ehneilsen in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/497 U/yoachim/filter band again by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/501 update generate sky so data doesn't end before implied filename by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/503 Make sure filter_col passed through to sub-metrics by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/502 tickets/SP-2847: Update prenight gen documentation for moved prenight scripts by @ehneilsen in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/504 tickets/OSW-1650: Make sure stats returned by fetch_sim_stats_for_night are for the the requested night only by @ehneilsen in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/505 SP-2917: make sure qso metric returns scalar by @yoachim in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/507 SP-2918: Identify which metric fails by @rhiannonlynne in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/508 tickets/OSW-1602: throw a NoMatchingSimulationsFoundError exception when sims or stats are requested from the archive where none meet provided parameters by @ehneilsen in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/506 New Contributors @nsabrams made their first contribution in https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/pull/498 Full Changelog: https://github.com/lsst/rubin_sim/compare/v2.6.0...v2.6.1
