Dear All,
after having finessed the H.E.S.S.-collaboration meeting, we shall
aim for our next HESS-AP call sometime during the first December week.
In order to maximize participation, I would thus like to open a poll to
probe your current availabilities:
https://framadate.uibk.ac.at/studs.php?sondage=hp1tebxs43sghimr
I'd like to ask you for filling the poll by 25 Nov.
The agenda can be found at:
https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Zoom+meeting+2021-1…
As always, please feel free to add further agenda items as you feel
appropriate.
Best wishes,
Anita

Dear all,
thank you all very much for responding despite the short notice.
It appears that we will be able to run a meeting with a significant
fraction of our team. Between the slots 9-10 and 10-11 we could almost
have all groups participating. I hence suggest to meet 9:30-10:30 such
that most of you can at least attend part-time.
The zoom connection details are listed below, the agenda will be
> Items are (very brief summaries on: / your concerns regarding:)
> legacy program
> proposals 2022
> publications
> conferences 2022
> collaboration meeting 2022
> cooperation with other facilities

Dear AP team,
I've been in discussions with Phil Edwards (Head of CSIRO Science Operations for ATNF, operating the ATCA radio facility) regarding AGN targets for their regular monitoring campaigns with the ATCA facility.
Phil has expressed a keen interest in improving or optimising the monitoring cadence for the various TeV AGN that HESS is observing. The results of this feed into the publicly available ATCA Calibrator Database
https://www.narrabri.atnf.csiro.au/calibrators/calibrator_database.html
and also to the TANAMI project, carrying out VLBI for hi-res studies of active AGN in the south.
https://pulsar.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/tanami/about/
As you may know, these projects are beginning to shift their focus to include TeV-detected AGN in recent times.
Would HESS be willing to share with Phil our AGN observing schedule, planned and achieved? Precise observation times are not needed.
A rough schedule on a monthly (period) or even weekly (if possible) would be sufficient. The information would be kept confidential and only appear in public in the calibrator database in the form of higher-cadence sampling for those particular AGN, in they are not already.
It's expected that major TeV flares from HESS would be communicated via ATels, but if needed, we could also consider sharing such information privately to increase the cadence for their ATCA monitoring. I'd be happy to draft a basic information sharing agreement if it's thought that is needed for these special cases.
all the best
Gavin..
