Name: image.png Type: image/png Size: 7200 bytes Desc: not available URL: From James.Green at csiro.au Mon Jun 22 11:59:48 2020 From: James.Green at csiro.au (Green, Jimi (CASS, Kensington WA)) Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2020 01:59:48 +0000 Subject: [ASA] Parkes future science case and community workshop Message-ID: <0A8F78FC-829F-4CE1-BB5A-EC54E7281FC4@csiro.au> Dear All, As part of ATNF strategy planning we have developed a first draft for a Parkes Science Case for the next decade, as we approach SKA operations. This draft has so far been compiled from previous workshops, Australia Telescope User Committee meeting discussions and technology funding proposals. The intention is to now gather community input over the coming 6 weeks to iterate the document ahead of having a workshop at the beginning of August. This workshop is intended to enable discussion of the science case, together with two other aspects of Parkes operations: the receiver fleet rationalisation and the science case for a high frequency ultra-wide-bandwidth receiver. The draft case can be found here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/g7l9CP7LAXfyBALJFzJ0Fq?domain=parkes.atnf.csiro.au The (online) workshop, scheduled for the 4th August, nominally 1100-1500 AEST, will have the following objectives: * Review the Science case (including identifying whether there is science that will drive Parkes during 2020-2030 missing from the current draft) * Establish the headline science objectives for an ultra-wide bandwidth high frequency receiver, as well as bringing together the interested parties to establish a lead University (and partners) for an ARC LIEF proposal for this receiver * Review the receiver rationalisation process following the receipt of proposal submissions for the OCT2020 semester (details here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/cJ0jCQnMBZfzn4wJtPwYax?domain=parkes.atnf.csiro.au) * Provide updates to the community on the Cryogenically cooled Phased Array Feed (?Cryo-PAF?) design work and the availability of Breakthrough Listen data for the community The intention is to have submitted talks from those interested in contributing and time for discussion, if you are interested in attending please complete this expression of interest form: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/MP3FCROND2u7wP3yFPqVEx?domain=forms.gle In the interim, please contact me directly if you wish to provide input or thoughts in advance of the workshop, Kind regards, Jimi Dr. Jimi Green Parkes Senior System Scientist, CASS Group Leader CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science james.green at csiro.au | 08 6436 8879 ARRC Building, 26 Dick Perry Avenue, Kensington, WA 6151 CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia.
