  1. Science Simulations (DS2-T1) Overview With thanks to Hans-Rainer Klöckner who manages this (complicated, multi-site) activity from Oxford

  2. DS2-T1 Deliverables: T0=July2006 • Continuum Surveys – Oxford, Leiden, (Herts) Richard Wilman, Matt Jarvis + Tom Mauch (Oxford); continuum simulation deliverable T0+18. DELIVERED and PUBLISHED. Additional (“Herschel”) work soon underway at Swinburne. Ilse van Bemmel (Leiden) has been working on a MeqTree Ionosphere module.

  3. DS2-T1 Deliverables: T0=July2006 • Line HI Surveys – Oxford, Groningen, Swinburne, (UCL) Danail Obreshkow, Francois Levrier & Hans-Rainer Klöckner(Oxford); simulation deliverable T0+12. DELIVERED (PUBS IN PREP). ALMA: Ian Heywood(Oxford).Filipe Abdalla (UCL) & Chris Blake (Swinburne). PAPERS PUBLISHED. Rense Boomsa (Groningen); High-res HI module. DELIVERED (PUBS IN PREP).

  4. DS2-T1 Deliverables: T0=July2006 • Magnetism – Cambridge, Bonn Martin Krause and Joen Geisbuesch (Cambridge); simulation deliverable T0+18. PARTIALLY DELIVERED (PUBS IN PREP); see POSTER. Tigran Arshakian (Bonn); High-resolutionB module. SEE TALK.

  5. DS2-T1 Deliverables: T0=July2006 • Pulsar Surveys – Manchester (see Talk) Roy Smits (Manchester), simulation deliverable T0+15 Aris Karastergiou (Oxford)

  6. DS2-T1 Deliverables: T0=July2006 • Pulsar Surveys – Manchester (see Talk) Roy Smits (Manchester), simulation deliverable T0+15 Aris Karastergiou (Oxford)

  7. DS2-T1 Deliverables: T0=July2006 • EOR – Paris, Lisbon Paola Di Matteo (Paris), simulation deliverable T0+21 SEE TALK BY MARIO SANTOS

  8. DS2-T1 Final Deliverable • Year in Life • Will build on SKADS Virtual Telescope (SVT) Exercise, but now with sky simulation tools fullly in place • What data simulation tools will be in place (see DS2-T2 talks)? • Relation to SPDO’s Science Reference Mission and similar exercise by E-ELT

  9. The Future Path2SKA: Marie Curie ITN submitted Sep 2008. ~30 early-stage researchers with a significant sky simulation component. If funded will maintain European lead in global sky simulation effort. Whether, or not, funded, ESKAC will continue to develop European SKA science community. Will exploit modern simulations, continue to utilize data constraints, and will increase synergies with SKA pathfinders and experiments at other wavebands.

  10. 21 cm simulated maps: exemples of recent results Introduction Box size is crucial Currently from ~ 1 Mpc to ~ 100 Mpc. - Small boxes: statistics issues - Large boxes: bad resolution (use of a clumping factor)  faster reionization. In all case: Lyman-alpha flux not simulated ! (assumed uniform) z=10.6 Beam=3.0 arcmin Bandwidth=0.13 MHz 20 Mpc/h z=9.9 z=9.26 Mellema et al. (2006) Valdés et al. (2006)

  11. Pulsar Surveys – Manchester Roy Smits (Manchester), simulation deliverable T0+15 • EOR – Paris, Lisbon • Paola Di Matteo (Paris), simulation deliverable T0+21
