  10. 13 News Releases in 2007 COSMOS (Massey et al.) γ Cep (Fukagawa et al.) Strange Hα filament (Yagi et al.) Crab nebula (Yamada et al.) Schwassman-Wachman (Fuse et al.) Deep Impact (Kadono et al.) Extragalactic Thorium (Aoki et al.) Spin-orbit alignment (Narita et al.) Meteor tracks (Iye et al.) Jet? (Hioki et al.) Leo II more extended (Komiyama et al.) Another target? Ancient galaxy morphology (Akiyama et al.)

  11. Coming Instrument Status • Suprime-Cam with full depletion layer CCDs • HiCIAOStrategic observing proposal under review at SAC • AO188Risk shared use of NGS from S08B • FMOSContinue testing • Hyper Suprime-CamConceptual Design Review and fabrication • WFMOSGemini-Subaru WFMOS WorkshopContinue discussion with Gemini

  12. Major Issues in 2008 • Keep steadyoperations and outcomes • Telescope Control System (SOSS) on new hardware (June) • Begin fabrication of Hyper Suprime-Cam with successful CoDR • Conclude MOUs with Princeton Univ and ASIAA • Continue time exchange with Gemini and Keck • Gemini-Subaru-JSPS Workshop on WFMOS (May 19-22) • Organize the 2nd Subaru international conference

  13. Some Minor Remarks • Please send an e-mail to Science Operation Division Chief terada (@naoj.org) with CCs to nishimura and masa if you ask to add or change targets. • We ask all the MOIRCS MOS users to provide time (~1 hour) to take pre-images for the next MOS users. We will consult this issue with SAC soon. • No TOO for Keck-Subaru exchanged time (5 nights)
