Agenda:

1. Current issues and limitations with line/cube cleaning

• Status of pipeline processing of cubes
  

- Using the continuum image as a start model for cleaning non-contsub cubes is now implemented into the pipeline. Have cubes been made using this feature?
     - only W51 test case has been started and has not been finished.
    - this is new, so the cubes already done and available on globus are probably not yet done with this new feature

- There are some recent changes to the default autoMT params in the pipeline, mainly from Manuel’s suggestions. Some of these suggestions were implemented into the defaults but some were not. See discussion in slack #lines and in the repository: 
https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/reduction/commit/330b345c2913ed851a21a5900dd09d2102a1a281
These changes are expected to make more efficient the cleaning of cubes with extended emission, but at least for the recomb lines I am returning to the params that create tighter masks. That can be done on a per-source basis in imaging_parameters.py, e.g., 
line_imaging_parameters_custom = {
    "G008.67_B3_12M_robust0_contsub": {
       "minbeamfrac": 0.3,
       "dogrowprune": True,
       "threshold": "5mJy"
    },
    "G010.62_B3_12M_robust0_contsub": {
       "minbeamfrac": 0.3,
       "dogrowprune": True,
       "threshold": "8mJy"
    },
    "G012.80_B3_12M_robust0_contsub": {
       "minbeamfrac": 0.3,
       "dogrowprune": True,
       "threshold": "12mJy"
    },

• Contribution to cubes QA 
  

Roberto did the QA of a few of the H41a cubes in Florida: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-opjb6RU_4W-C_5gzld0UFn9_V-lYm_DN8fsgVIzl1U/edit?usp=sharing
and with that info is re-running them in Morelia 

1. Status of on-going projects

• Antoine: Melanie (PhD) on shocks
  
• Manuel+Estrella: 
  

            status of the data? -> QA on W51
            status of the project?

• LAB: 
  
  • Melisse on G337: 
    
    • line identification done (B3+B6) towards G337-MM1
      
    • B6 one spw1 missing? (Adam is going to look into it) 
      
  • Nathalie W43-MM2: 
    

• Anyone else?
  

A script to download a bunch of cubes at once using Globus in command line is in:
https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/private-work/tree/master/misc
(Note: to access to /private-work you need to be added by Adam)

1. Status of data processing tools (ADMIT, IMAGER)
   • Status of the update of the linelist for ADMIT ? 
     
   • Adam: Linelist  on github + google doc
     

    https://github.com/ALMA-IMF/hotcores <- place to put line lists, code related to hot cores, etc.  This is private, so you must request access (give Adam your username)

• spectral-cube tutorial -> Who would be interested?
  
  • Manuel, Fabrice, Melisse -> see with Adam
