Dear Jacco, Gerd, Regis, Manami, at the F2F-meeting of the Astrophysics WG conveners we have been discussing the possibility of HESS submitting a proposal to the recently (beginning of this month) announced XMM Multi-Year Heritage Programms https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/news-20200203 and collected ideas as sketched in the pdf attached. As you being experts and experienced in both the X-ray and VHE regime we would like to get your opinion, and enquire whether you would be interested in and have the time to playing a significant role in this endeavor. We need to decide quickly whether we should give it a try (your expert opinion is here extremely important): The deadline of LoI submission is already next Monday! All the best, Anita

[Fwd: [Hess-ec] Submission of S200224ca pointings to treasure map]

by Stefan Wagner

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [Hess-ec] Submission of S200224ca pointings to treasure map From: "ASHKAR Halim" <halim.ashkar(a)cea.fr> Date: Tue, February 25, 2020 18:29 To: "hess-ec(a)lsw.uni-heidelberg.de" <hess-ec(a)lsw.uni-heidelberg.de> Cc: "SCHUSSLER Fabian" <fabian.schussler(a)cea.fr> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Executive committee, Yesterday night we observed the Gravitational Wave event S200224ac. We were able to observe 3 positions on the GW map with 4 runs covering ~70% of the total map (considering a FoV of 2 degrees). We would like to submit our pointings to the treasure map tool: http://treasuremap.space which is a tool designed to help coordinate electromagnetic follow-up of GW events and for that we would need your approval. The covered positions are: RA: 174.99; Dec: -9.9 RA: 173.58; Dec: -6.58 RA: 176.31; Dec: -13.02 We will publish only the pointings assuming a generic FoV with 2deg radius without mentioning the durations, sensitivities, upper limits or any other related information. Details on the H.E.S.S. data taken during this ToO can be found here: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/GW%3A+S200224ca+H.E… Best regards, Halim on behalf of GW team -- Hess-ec mailing list Hess-ec(a)lsw.uni-heidelberg.de https://srv1n.lsw.uni-heidelberg.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hess-ec

Fwd: [Hess-ec] Fwd: Invitation to the Vulcano Workshop (17-22 May, 2020)

by Anita Reimer

Dear All, the organizers of the Vulcano Workshop are looking for a HESS speaker who could provide an overview talk of recent HESS results at the Vulcano Workshop 2020 in Sicily in the week 17-22 May (see messages below). Is anyone willing to take up this invitation? Note that tentative deadline is already end of this month. All the best, Anita -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Hess-ec] Fwd: Invitation to the Vulcano Workshop (17-22 May, 2020) Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 16:11:20 +0100 From: Stefan Ohm <stefan.ohm(a)desy.de> To: hess-ec(a)lsw.uni-heidelberg.de Dear all, I got asked in January to go to a workshop in Italy in mid-May. Although formerly I was under the impression to present recent gamma-ray results and an outlook to CTA, the organisers are now asking to present “H.E.S.S. latest results”. Since I’m now attending the CTA meeting in Sofia, I’m not able to attend. Since the title changed, I’m forwarding the request to you. Note that the tentative deadline to report back is already end of the month. This may be a good opportunity to promote people that do technical work and give them more credit/visibility outside of HESS.

logistics convener mtg / OC mtg

by Stefan Wagner

Dear all, we will have two meeting next week: Monday, Feb 24 ~ 12 CET through Tuesday, Feb 25 afternoon the OC will meet. Tuesday, Feb 25 ~ 14 CET through Wednesday, Feb 26 noon the conveners will meet. You are invited to attend the OC meeting. As discussed earlier, not all of you will be able to participate in the OC meeting in person. We have hence agreed that there shall be a dedicated session for interaction between OC and conveners that cannot attend in person (tentative 1h, might be extended if necessary) to enable any exchange that is desired. The OC originally suggested Tuesday morning, 10 am for this session. It turns out, however, that this is poor timing for those of you who will attend the conveners meeting only, and who will travel on Tuesday morning. An alternative option would be a meeting on Tuesday noon, when all who attend the conveners meeting will have arrived. We will pick the option that maximizes participation. To settle logistics (lunches, breaks, joint meeting), please return the following to me by Wednesday, Feb 19 12 am and/or fill the table on participation at https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/F2F+meeting+2020-02… ================ I will join the OC meeting on Monday in person. No-Yes I intend to arrive on Monday at LSW around .... I will join the OC meeting on Tuedsay in person. No-Yes I intend to arrive on Tuesday at LSW around .... I will attend the conveners meeting Tuedsay afternoon/Wednesday in person. No-Yes I intend to arrive on Tuesday at LSW around .... I could attend a dedicated discussion with the OC on Tuesday, 10 am in person or via Vibe meeting I could attend a dedicated discussion with the OC on Tuesday, noon in person or via Vibe meeting I will not be able to attend the conveners meeting but would participate via Vibe during the following times: .... ================ Travel: Both meetings will be at the observatory, LSW, in Heidelberg. I assume most of you have been at LSW before. You may use Bus #39 or Bus #30 for 'Sternwarte' (preferred) or 'Max-Planck Institut Astronomie (not Kernphysik!, next door). Most hotels in the old city center or around "Bismarckplatz" offer connections to public transportation. However, taxis also offer a reasonable service. https://www.mpia.de/en/service/directions_to_mpia/public_transpot and https://www.mpia.de/en/service/directions_to_mpia/car describe options to go to MPIA. MPIA is next to the observatory ("Landessternwarte") and it only a few minutes walk from one to the other. Bus #39 stops closer to "Landessternwarte", bus #30 stops closer to "MPIA" If you take a taxi, it is worth to check they turn into "Landessternwarte" (some taxi drivers confuse the two places), but again, they sit side-by-side. We meet in 'Seminarraum' of 'Nordinstitut' (former CTA project office, for those who had visited that). If you have trouble on the way, pls. contact our secretary, Mrs. Mueller, on 06221-175491. I might be moving about. Mobile phones (including mine) have poor connection on Koenigstuhl. The meeting: Please contact Anita for any suggestions or add to the agenda: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/F2F+meeting+2020-02… best regards, Stefan

HESS-AP F2F-meeting, and more

by Anita Reimer

Dear All, the minutes from our previous vibe-meeting last week are now online: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Meetings+of+the+Ast… I also would like to confirm that the *hess-ap F2F-meeting* of all AWG conveners does take place, from *25 February (~noon) to 26 February **(~noon) *at the Landessternwarte Heidelberg, as we have discussed at the last vibe meeting. A dedicated confluence page with the agenda has been set up: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/F2F+meeting+2020-02… which also collects ideas (please add!) about the format of the AP-part of the upcoming HESS collaboration meeting. This point will be finalized at the F2F-meeting; please prepare for this F2F-meeting a suggestion from your side for a preliminary structure of the collaboration meeting's AP-agenda. Today the OC had a first telecon meeting after the proposal deadline. In total, 40 proposal were received. This week they will be screened and integrated into the data base and shall be available for everyone next week. At this telecon also the role of the AWG conveners was briefly discussed. All AWG conveners are kindly invited to participate throughout the whole OC F2F-meeting in Heidelberg (24 Febr (~noon) - 25 Febr (~noon)) where the proposals will be evaluated. Appreciating your effort to support the OC and your desire to optimize efficiency another suggestion was made. Reserving a dedicated 1-2 hrs block to interact on any questions from the OC to the AWG conveners that may arise in the evaluation was suggested. This could be scheduled for Tuesday (25 Feb) morning with in person (preferred option; vibe should be possible, too) discussions between the OC and conveners. Would you be available/ interested in? All the best, Anita

XMM-science

by Stefan Wagner

Dear all, I cc Gerd (who will be interim chair of the new OC until the OC will elect a chair in Obergurgl) for information. last fall I participated again in the xmm review. In the meeting of panel chairs we recommended the Multi-Year Heritage Programme of XMM for continuation. Based on the discussions among the XMM panel chairs, I thought that we may consider this in HESS as well. The XMM plan for Multi-Year Heritage Programms has now been approved and has been announced (see below). I wonder whether we should consider a proposal to study, e.g., the X-ray properties of the Galactic TeV sources. This would combine the efforts of the entire Galactic science in HESS. We should be clear that a proposal would be a significant amount of work (last round's proposals were VERY GOOD) but I think we would now have a good chance (with the published HGPS out, etc.) An obvious option would be to propose this effectively by HESS (Co-Is would have to be individual HESS members). Please feel free to consider, to comment, to discuss in your groups. I suggest we discuss this briefly on Feb 25/26. In case we wanted to go this way, we ought to prepare the LOI mentioned in the announcement at that mtg.

This programme seeks scientific visionary projects which require at least 2 Ms of observing time. A total of 6 Ms of observing time, spread over three years, is planned to be made available for this programme. In order to organise the evaluation of "Multi-Year Heritage Programme" proposals, interested scientists are strongly urged to send an e-mail as letter of intent to the XMM-Newton Project Scientist (Norbert.Schartel + esa.int ) before 6 March 2020. The e-mail should contain a draft title, a short (up to three sentences) description of the respective scientific area and an estimate of the required observing time. Anticipated timeline for next XMM-Newton Announcement of Opportunity: AO-20 The planned key milestones for the Twentieth XMM-Newton "Announcement of Opportunity" have been established. Within this AO-20 a new call to submit proposals for observations to be performed with the XMM-Newton observatory will be issued.
