HESS-WG convener meeting: Next collaboration mtg and HESS extension

by Stefan Wagner

Dear conveners, as mentioned in ap-, it- and ops- calls, we plan to prepare the case for a further extension of HESS into 2025. This case is not meant to be an enormous amount of work to generate a heavy document. It is rather an opportunity for all members of the collaboration to propose changes to our strategy for running HESS, such as, e.g., new science approaches, new procedures and ways of calibrating data to get better results. We aim for making improvements based on our experience and shape the observing program such that we will cover the most attractive science questions. I would like to encourage you once more to entertain discussions in forthcoming meetings of your working groups. We would like to arrange a <1h meeting among all conveners in the next week to discuss any suggestions that you might want to put forward and how to best collect further input. As a second topic we want to discuss the options for a collaboration meeting in the next few months. Please indicate your availability on this poll: https://terminplaner4.dfn.de/f4B26Z9tXJW7hkW5 In a separate mail I request input from the HESS group leaders concerning a collaboration meeting in the next few months. Best regards, Stefan, for the hess-ec

Dear AP conveners, dear OC colleagues, as we have agreed, we will have an exchange of information between AP conveners and OC members after proposal submission and before evaluation by the OC. Besides E-Mails (or a secured confluence page), a common telecon between the two groups will be organized. To optimize attendance, Anita and I would like to freeze the date for the telecon (that can only happen in the week of January 11-15, 2021) already in the next days. A doodle for the possible dates is here: https://doodle.com/poll/st5cvyuigqdu3yf7 It would be great if you (AP conveners and OC members) could fill this in latest by beginnning of next week, i.e. until Monday, October 26, 12am (noon).

in preparation for HESS-AP meeting

by Anita Reimer

Dear Colleagues, one of the items to discuss at our upcoming meeting on Friday is the OC procedures for proposal evaluation & link to AP. I heard from many sides from within AP and OC that last proposal round's proposal review procedures were not optimal, there is significant room for improvements. The OC, in several telecons, has therefore prepared a couple of suggestions, that we shall discuss in the upcoming AP-meeting. I have linked this document to the AP-meeting agenda (https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Vibe+meeting+2020-1…) for you to read in preparation for the AP-meeting, and invited Gerd as representative of the OC to join our meeting. The most time-consuming item on our next meeting will be to discuss the AP-department's contribution to the upcoming HESS collaboration meeting. To streamline our discussions here, let me list a few points that we shall discuss on Friday: (1) General mode of presentations (2) AP sessions arranged topic-wise (as last time), or AWG-wise? (3) Time slots (4) Proposal 2021 discussions (5) HESS-XX discussions (6) Reports (AWG?, MWLB) I also prepared a confluence page where we shall collect requests/proposals for presentations: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Preparation+of+Astr… Connection details (let's try zoom this time for this meeting) will follow. Talk to you soon! All the best, Anita

Transition to Zoom within H.E.S.S.

by Heike Prokoph

Dear WG and department leads, we are planning the transition of all the video conferences within H.E.S.S. from Vibe/eZuce to Zoom in the coming months (deadline is the end of the year from when the Vibe contract will be discontinued). We would therefore encourage you to start scheduling your HESS-related meetings already now using Zoom. For those who do not have a Zoom license available from their host institute/university, we will provide access to a common license for WG/Department leads which allows up to 300 participants. In this case, please contact me and Stefan Ohm to obtain access information. Thanks, Heike and Stefan -- Heike Prokoph Deutsches Elektron-Synchrotron (DESY) Platanenallee 6, 15738 Zeuthen, Germany email: heike.prokoph(a)desy.de office: +49337627-7293 (7657)

2019 HESS data

by Stefan Wagner

Dear all, following up on the summary of 2019 data that I showed in the meeting this morning: Attached please find a slightly enhanced version of the observing summary of 2019. Color code: Yellow backdrop = ToO sources All of the 2019 data are in Europe and calibrated This is not quite at the stage yet that was intended, but gives you an idea for the 2019 data. 2017 and 2018 will follow. 2020: All data taken until P8 will be in Europe and calibrated by the next collaboration meeting. This includes (most) of the data taken on Eta Car, Cen A, IGS, HESSJ1832-093, J2019+368, Kepler SNR, SS 433, PSR 1413-6025 plus ToOs plus proposals that were started but not yet completed Best regards, Stefan
