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
-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: often observed data take a long time before people start on analyzing them.
WG conveners need to keep an eye on this
