Dear all, I plan to change the hess-webpage for the public slightly and also use it to introduce the "people in HESS" on the right-hand side-panel below the "Source of the Month". As a start we think of a changing display (alternating for any visit or after a brief time) for the three sets of working group conveners in IT, Operations and astrophysics. It is straightforward to display the names and affiliations. It is _not_ foreseen to display any further information (Eamils, etc.) Ideally we would also display a small panel with thumbnail portraits of the conveners (as in the example attached below). This however has caveats: - For legal reasons you would have to send an explicit approval, that confirms you agree to such a (small, low resolution) portrait being displayed. - It would only make sense if a majority within each group would agree. I would hence like to ask 1) if there are any concerns mentioning on the public webpage that you (Name, Institution) are convener of your working group. 2) whether you have concerns with a display of a portrait as part of a panel. In case you are ok with #2 - please send me an image - please send me an individual Email (swagner(a)lsw.uni-heidelberg.de) Subject: Approval Text: I agree that the attached portrait may be displayed on the HESS public webpages as part of a group panel introducing HESS members in charge of specific activities. Best wishes, Stefan

Dear All, might be interesting for some HESS-topics as well. Best, Anita ======================================================================== Andrea Merloni will be the next speaker of the Munich "Joint Astronomy Colloquium “, scheduled for Thursday April 30, at 15:15 CEST: The title of the talk is: "Mapping the hot Universe: the first six months of operations of eROSITA on SRG” Given the circumstances, the JAC is completely virtual.

reports

by Anita Reimer

Dear All, thank you very much for your contributions to the tele collaboration meeting sessions so far, I am very much looking forward to today's meeting as well! As you may recall we agreed at our 24 March meeting that each convener provides a *very brief* report about the aims of the respective AWG for the next months and current standing, urgent issues etc to the entire collaboration prior to the online AP Program taking place. Unfortunately, this seems to have materialized for only less than 1/3 of all AWGs (or maybe the remaining reports have been uploaded to a confluence page different to https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=116… ?if yes, pls let me know!). Since we also had agreed that after this meeting, the respective AWG lead adds, to the same report, a brief summary on the discussion of those projects, that were presented at the tele collab. meeting, I suggest that we simply make the complete reports ready by, say end of next week (17 April). Would this be ok by everybody? Please respond by midday today if you object. I would like to advertise these reports at the end of today's session of our tele AP Program. Talk to you soon! All the best, Anita

Walk-through talks

by SCHUSSLER Fabian

Dear all, Let me express my surprise after todays session of “walk-through talks”. As we discussed in detail during our last call and as Anita reminded everybody at the beginning of the session, this presentation format and this session was meant for analyses in an advanced stage, for which the A&R review has been concluded, for which the main results are ready and for which a publication is expected shortly. I was quite puzzled to see that roughly half of the presented talks did not match these criteria (for me the Vela, N132D and HEGS talks were the only ones somewhat justified). I think we need to understand what went wrong here. Was this due to a misunderstanding? Misunderstanding about the aim of WT talks or the status of the presented analyses? At the side of the conveners who proposed the talks? Or a miscommunication from the task leaders towards the conveners about the task status? Something else? In any case, I believe we should strive to avoid this confusion in the future. It is extremely frustrating for tasks that were denied a WT talk this time because they did not fully comply with the mentioned requirements to see others, at a less advanced stage, being presented. I also believe we will have to redo proper WT talk once the analyses will have reached that stage. Let me be clear: I am not saying that the talks today were a waste of time! An update on the presented tasks was certainly helpful and necessary. They were just not at the stage required within the publication scheme for the collaboration walk-through.

Agenda for remote AP sessions online

by Anita Reimer

Dear All, thanks very much for contributing to our telecon AP Program. It is now finalized and online at: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=116… Also uploaded (on that same page at "Session 2")) are the working group reports (as we have discussed) that I received so far. For all others please don't forget to either upload them to that confluence page, or alternatively send them to me before Monday evening (as the idea was to make them available to the collaboration before the AP sessions). All the best, and take care! Anita

Re: [Hess-ap] Tele Collaboration Meeting AP Program

by Anita Reimer

Dear All, I produced a very preliminary agenda for our 3 sessions of the telecon Collaboration Meeting AP Program: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=116… The talk durations do not include the discussion time. The program is not final yet, as you can see from the questionmarks, but hopefully can be finalized in the next few days. Meanwhile please check that all requested talks are included correctly. Please also let me know whether the individual talk durations are currently over- or underestimated, so that I can adjust them accordingly. All the best, and take care! Anita
