Re: [Hess-ap] HESS AP meeting minutes

Dear all - my apologies, I couldn't join on Friday. From the pbsm we have some updates:    a) Most active project at this point: DM spikes around IMBH   b) WT presentation for IGS line search on May 26   c) Joint Dwarf spheroidal paper: just waiting for comments from the Fermi-LAT group(s)  d) we have multiple groups engaged in analysing IGS data for various purposes. As Stefan Wagner had suggested during the last pbsm-call, we should have the involved people get together. In the pbsm, we are planning to have a discussion on DM searches with IGS data during the June call.   Best Dieter     -----Original Message----- From: Jacco <j.vink(a)uva.nl> To: Hess-ap <hess-ap(a)lsw.uni-heidelberg.de> Date: Friday, 19 May 2023 11:47 AM CEST Subject: [Hess-ap] HESS AP meeting minutes Dear All,   Please find attached the minutes of todays meeting.   In italics the action items, or things that need your attention.   Best regards,   Jacco-- Present: Alicja Wierzcholska ,Brian Reville, Jacco Vink ,Jonathan Mackey ,   Kathrin Egberts,  Matteo Cerruti  , Stefan WagnerAbsent: Fabian Schüssler , Dieter Horns    - Welcome - ICRC Status: - Iterated that only those results can be shown for which realistically a paper is ready fro submission around ICRC meeting - Some contributions seem not to meet this criterion - All WG conveners check readiness of proposed ICRC contributions within their WGs - A new column is added "Approved by WG" to contribution table. Only those that are approved can be presented. See ICRC 2023 and other conferences in July/August 2023 - Migration from Confluence to Wiki: - Will be completed by late autumn 2023 - Migration handled by IT dept - Action will be required from institute leaders - WG conveners: may want to "clean up" their pages - Check out links to pre-2019 pages in old WG structure - Once migration completed: check all is well - Most of the above concerns the period after summer - Round of WGs: - CRsWG / Kathrin Egberts :  - electrons go well, very stable results, intense work, low systematics - paper draft preliminary stage - Diffuse WG/ Sabrina Casanova :  - No ICRC contributions from diffuse group  - All projects presented at HESS  Spring meeting - WT on molecular cloud expected → make sure not to interfere with WTs for ICRCs - Stellar WG/ Jonathan Mackey: - SS433 submitted to Scienc - Arache/Vela psr: nothing communicated yet to WG, Jonathan requested information - New WG meeting today: updates expected from B1259 and LMC projects - Eta Car: good progress - Westerlund 2: no news yet - Flares from microquasars: progresses well (presented at transients WG) - SNRPP/ Brian Reville : - No papers submitted lately - Papers by Tina Wach well advanced - Since joint stellar/SNRPP meetings: need to clarify for projects which WG  - New Galactic plane survey results: doubtful if ready for ICRC - Stefan: needs scrutiny from all HESS active - AGN/ Matteo Cerruti : - WG call will be this Monday - ICRC related: - New M87 paper is accepted and on ArXiv - M87 spectral paper: draft promised but not seen yet (resulted presented at HESS coll. meeting) - PKS 1510: draft went through collaboration review - Soon new draft expected on M87 MW campaign with EHT - OT 081: waiting for an updated from the MAGIC collaboration - MW/ Alicja Wierzcholska : - No major news - New A&R procedures regarding Fermi-LAT data well received - AOB/Closing - - Not certain whether next call will be on June 9.
