Dear all,
following up on our telecon last month I iterated an executive statement
on the proposal for a further extension of HESS.
Please take a look and comment. Any further ideas, concerns, improvements?
While the draft will be operated until submission, I'd appreciate feedback
by Feb 23 next week.
Best regards,
Stefan
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:

In a separate mail I request input from the HESS group leaders concerning a
collaboration meeting in the next few months.
Best regards,
Stefan,

Dear All,
our next AP-call was originally planned for 4 June; however, due to
personal reasons I need to shift it, to either before or after this
date. I therefore prepared a small poll which I'd like you to fill in
till coming Wednesday (26 May) at the very latest.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Best wishes,
and have a nice Pentecost!

Dear All,
the minutes of our last AP-call are online at
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Meetings+of+the+Ast…
with action items indicated as always. In particular, I would like to
draw your attention to:
(1) Please make an effort to fill the Legacy Program page on
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Towards+the+H.E.S.S…
Nothing put down here is final. It is, however, important to get a first
rough estimate about envisioned science cases, corresponding sources
required to be observed, and very rough estimate of the required
observing time. You may use also the Science Document linked to this
page as basis/ideas. To facilitate this for you I included some tables
to this confluence page which I'd ask you kindly to fill in within the
next ~2 weeks.
Please feel free to also change, modify, add, etc the "themes" (my
humple own ideas) listed on this page. Nobody is restricted to one
particular theme. Everybody is encouraged to edit everything.
(2) ICRC contributions: Please observe the progress of the intended ICRC
contributions, in particular the critical ones, and keep the table on
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/ICRC+2021
updated. It would be highly beneficial to identify those projects which
are likely not able to meet the criteria for conference contributions in
time, as early as possible, to withdraw them.
Best wishes,
Anita

The main item on our agenda
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Zoom+meeting+2021-0…
is certainly the H.E.S.S. Legacy program, which I think should not go
without multiwavelength advice.
Please feel free to add further agenda items as you feel are appropriate.
Looking forward to talking to you soon!
Best wishes,
Anita
Dear Stefan, All,The A&R review start deadline for the ICRC 2021 passed,
and now the next deadline is the walkthrough talk in the 24th May. We
currently think that this schedule will be very difficult to be
respected by a significant part of ICRC 2021 contributions, given the
short time between the A&R review start deadline (3 weeks) and the fact
that a CTA consortium meeting is planned from the 10 to 21 of May.
Moreover, we think that the time allocated between WT talk (24th May)
and the proceeding circulation (21st June) is too long, given the fact
that a draft should be available for the WT talk, presented to the
collaboration and reviewed a first time (so the proceeding is already
drafted at this stage).We would like to suggest to move the deadline for
the WT talk to june 7, this will let two weeks for analysers to
implement WT collaboration comments to the draft, circulate the
proceeding on the 21st of june as already planned, and get a second
round of collaboration comments to be implemented before the ICRC
proceeding submission.Let us know your opinion on this,
Best regards,
Sami and François.
