If you attend a relevant meeting or know of one, please add it.If you have given a relevant talk or a poster, please upload it.

If you have material that would help others to prepare presentations about MWA/science, please make it available.

ss

• charter– organize, edit, and write peer-reviewed publication in

PASA of the MWA science case in tandem with general technical specifications and linkages.

– team members coordinate (lasso) contributions from individuals in the KSPs.

• motivation– An MWA science case in the peer-reviewed literature

helps the project and everyone in it.– ASKAP case (PASA, ExA)

• suggest broad authorship

Science Case Publication

• team– boom: David Kaplan (UCSB)– geg: Shami Chatterjee (USyd/ATNF)– eor: Judd Bowman (CalTech)– shi: Justin Kasper (CfA)– P.S.: Lincoln Greenhill (CfA)– P.D.: Alan Whitney (Haystack)

• goal– submission << end of Q1 2009; < 30 pp + refs.

• leverage Lonsdale et al. 2009, IEEE• Flexible description of array (e.g., O(500) tiles)

Science Case Publication

Sample of Sci-Tech Linkages

Alignment• Charter– identify and analyze science package requirements

substantively in tension;

– identify and pursue science-driven studies (via simulation) that may be required to set MWA specifications and operational requirements;

– assess alignment between planned RTS output/ops and science package requirements; and

– assess on-site storage/service and fiber transmission requirements for each science package.

Alignment• Team– boom: David Kaplan (UCSB)– geg/boom: Tara Murphy (USyd)– eor: Judd Bowman (CalTech)– shi: Justin Kasper (CfA)– rts: Daniel Mitchell (CfA)– p.s. Lincoln Greenhill (CfA)– p.e. Frank Briggs (ANU)

• Hot seat Feb - May ’09– formal science-technical trade study desired

• to depend heavily on simulations and RTS use
