Presentation Transcript

  1. Work packages and early schedule • WP1 - Mechanical design • 6 JB Daban • -F Fressin • -F Valbousquet • -K Agabi • -OCA groupe projet • -LUAN groupe projet • Design of telescope tube structure, telescope to mount fixation • Early discussion on design with groupe projet (Sep ? Oct ?): Karim, JB, Franck: list of needed specifications – Heike Anders, Frederic tolerance on changes on PSF shapes for image substraction • Choice of the telescope size to be done according to telescope mount at the end of October and realisation

  2. Work packages and early schedule • WP2 - Telescope and Camera software • -A Klotz • -A Blazit • -C Combier • -K Agabi – organizing discussion • -A le Van Suu • -C Carol • Study of telescope guiding and tracking software and camera reading. Computer interfaces/redundancy/security • Meeting between LUAN and OHP teams soon (Sep ? Oct ?) to fix which software can be reused/adapted for A STEP

  3. Work packages and early schedule • WP-3 Camera thermal enclosure design and tests/ filter and field corrections – > subcategory of WP-1 • -A Blazit • -JB Daban • -F Jeanneaux • -Y Fantei • -F Fressin • -K Agabi • Design of enclosure for camera / wynne corrector /filter or dichroïc, fixation on telesope tube

  4. Work packages and early schedule • WP-4 Optical combination – Camera tests • A Blazit V • P Assus • F Fressin • A Erikson + F Pont in reaction mode – F Valbousquet real input • Zeemax simulations of the field – PSF shapes on every part of the field.

  5. Work packages and early schedule • WP-5 - 2007 campaign tests • -D Mekarnia V • -FX Schmider • -E Fossat • K Agabi + F Valbousquet V + V : optical experiments – small mirrors including tulip mirror in zerodur September • Logistic needs for A STEP : to be defined for September 11 • Checking the availability of new “optical experiments” site at Dome C, or preparing A STEP for Concordiastro site • Testing specific treatment on zerodur mirror at different places – behaviour of frost - optical behaviour of mirrors Foucault test • What do we send at Dome C in 2 months ? • Additional tests on Astro 1200 ? Different payloads ?

  6. Work packages and early schedule • WP-6 Dome C specific problems: open questions that require study groups • - Karim V • How to do flat fields at Dome C ? Mandatory for good photometric precision – frequency needed ? • Necessity of a protection for bad condition days/summer ? Availability of “flower domes” ? • Electrical problems/overcharges – all electronic control • Duplication ? Of camera ? Encoder (mount) Control computer • Who will run A STEP in 2007 ?

  7. Work packages and early schedule • WP–7 Data pipeline – Light curves extraction and analysis • -H Rauer V • -A Erikson • -F Pont • -T Guillot • -FX Scmider • -F Fressin • What is reused from BEST data pipeline ? Design of the alarm mode and photometric control. What has to be fixed before A STEP departure for Dome C? • Need to drive A STEP on sky in France before computing the real pipeline – define specific alarm mode too – • Proposal: input from Heike – development as a team approach – raise fundings – archiving A STEP data – Proposal fro A STEP/BEST 2 comparisons/summer/winter network - internal DLR funding application by spring 2007

  8. Work packages and early schedule • WP-8 Target fields selection – survey strategy • -T Guillot • -FX Schmider • -F Pont • -H Rauer • -C Moutou • -M Deleuil • -S Aigrain • -F Fressin • Need for preliminary observations – or data base on target fields ? Specific needs for seismology targets ? • Target field selection from Holger thesis • Starting discussion with Marseille field selectors for CoRoT

  9. Work packages and early schedule • WP-9 Data analysis – Follow up of candidates • -T Guillot • -FX Schmider • -F Pont • -H Rauer • -A Erikson • -F Bouchy • -F Fressin • -S Aigrain • -C Moutou • What is necessary to fix soon ?

  10. Work packages and early schedule • WP-10 Future prospects – the best design for global transit search • -T Guillot • -H Rauer • -Y Fantei : internet site soon • -A Erikson • -F Pont • -FX Scmider • -F Fressin • comparative simulations with CoRoTlux – experience from BEST-2 – A STEP connection and CoRoT preliminary results • Necessity to propose different designs soon for visibility and outreach ? • Developping webpage / internal and public ?
