Dear WG conveners, Please fine below a short summary of the last AP meeting. If there inaccuracies or additions, please let me know. I have things that need some follow up or require special attention in boldface. Best, Jacco HESS AP meeting 13/1/2023 Present: Jacco, Stefan, Brian, Jonathan, Kathrin Absent: Sabrina, Fabian, Matteo, Dieter -Welcome -Discussion on outcome of OC * OC has internal ranking, but approved list with A/B ranking expected end of the month * 500 hr requested: matches availibility without new legacy targets * For P1 program is in good shape * Judgement on Legacy expected later: there were issues with submission process * OC Process: not all OC members present all the time, some conflicts: variance can be large on ranking * Strive to add one or two members next round, preferably with Fermi experience -ICRC contributions * See https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=477… for timeline abstract submissions * Submitted contributions will need a talk on next H.E.S.S. coll. meeting Apr 17... -Usual rules apply: we want papers presented that are journal submitted or close to submission * WG conveners/AP dept should follow up rules in order to not send clear message. That may mean retracting talks for papers not yet in their final stages * As it is also HESS advertisements: WG conveners should think which results need to be presented irrespective of availibility of project leaders. (But no overlap with previous ICRC) * Round of WGs: * Transients: WT talk on Tuesday 24th Jan 9:30 on GRB221009A * Diffuse: Sabrina will continue as WG convener * SNRPP: overview on talks: L. Guinti on Vela Jr, on HESSj1518; Collaboration between eROSITA and Vela-X not to be followed up * Stellar: Eta Car, difficulties in analysis also in view of previous results, there is a detection, SS443 project. internally reviewed. SS443 to be considered for ICRC. * CR WG: ECAPP members will work on cosmic-ray detections with HESS adding a new project to this WG. -AOB SW: people need to actively update the conference list on https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Astrophysics+Depart… SW: often observed data take a long time before people start on analyzing them. WG conveners need to keep an eye on this
