Monitor: Ben

Scribe: Brandon

Charge

• Presentation / discussion of new developments in simulation techniques, codes, since the last meeting.
• Identify the other working groups with science cases relying on Galactic foreground modeling (low-ell / BB, extragalactic foregrounds, etc)
  • What are the conclusions of the previous data challenges for these groups, in what direction does the foreground modeling require more complexity.
• Are we prepared to provide the simulations that will be required to answer outstanding science questions for CD1.
  • What trade off studies are being looked at, will these require new foreground modeling efforts?
  • Are existing simulations sufficient for the next data challenge?

Agenda

• Data challenge paper and next steps (Victor, 10)
• DC06 (Caterina, 10)
• PySM3 (Andrea, 10)
• Filament-based models (Carlos, 15)
• Frequency decorrelation (Brandon, 15)

Break

• Neural Net Models, Dust (Ben, 15)
• Neural Net Models, Synchrotron (Giuseppe, 15)
