Greenberg, Schiminovich and I met in the Schiminovich Lab at Columbia today to discuss Greenberg's progress on reconstructing GALEX images from the photon list. I requested extremely detailed visualizations of the detected photons in the space of time, RA, Dec, detector position, and charge-pulse amplitude. It is in these signals—or really their departures from expectations—that we will see issues with the spacecraft attitude model, the detector sensitivity map, and the point-spread function. We worked out short-term to-do items and plans for the first scientific papers.
