+ | - Karl will calculate sensitivity of crossed at 4K. Maybe something to pursue. | ||
+ | - Should we go to Team-X with multiple options? | ||
+ | - Al: They tend to split their time evenly amongst options they are given. | ||
+ | - Shaul: Our case is 1 basic framework with options being changes on top of this. | ||
+ | - Al: Team-X can do this if the scope is made clear in pre-session. | ||
+ | - Gathering telescope quotes: | ||
+ | - Brain, JPL, and Shaul. | ||
+ | - Components are fraction of cost. Majority of cost is testing. | ||
+ | - Al: WMAP testing was cold photograms, warm beams, accounted for cooling deformation with models | ||
+ | - Jacques: Planck testing was sidelobes warm, deformation and alignment as mirror cooled, no end-to-end cold test with flight system. | ||
+ | - CORE estimate, very unofficial, was $10-20 million | ||
+ | - Cooling: | ||
+ | - Chris Payne working on strategy | ||
+ | - continuous ADR cost from Goddard slow to come in. Working on this. | ||
+ | - Possible single shot ADR from Europe. planned for Athena mission. | ||
+ | - Jacques: Same group is developing continuous ADR. Probably low TRL currently. | ||
+ | - Roger: Will send around BLISS ADR system. Was a bench test system at JPL. | ||
+ | Skip Mission discussion for now, deadline in March although work needs to begin. | ||
+ | Systematics | ||
+ | - What do we need for 1/f? Sidelobes? Gain stability? pol angle calibration? | ||
+ | - Sidelobes: Estimate in GRASP via Brad J. | ||
+ | - Jacques: This job is very large and approximations are often done. | ||
+ | - Shaul: Plan is to do a course model to get representative levels. | ||
+ | - Julian: Simulation pipelines exist to take scan + sidelobes, produce maps, and estimate systematic errors in parameters. | ||
+ | - need proper inputs | ||
+ | - simulation of mitigation of sidelobes is harder. | ||
+ | - typically simulate each systematic separately, then do 1 sim with all systematics to see overall effects. | ||
+ | - Shaul: this can get infinitely complex. We'll focus on the 3 issues highlited by systematics group first. | ||
+ | - All these are doable, suggestion: Do 4-5 locations on focal plane. | ||
+ | - Jacques: do 4 detectors simultaneously so you get 1 Q and 1 U measurement. | ||

- | Hello, | ||
- | I'm sure Mr. Ellison is working hard against the Republican tax plan and I wish to assure him of my full support and encourage him to keep fighting! | ||
- | I just learned of the language to remove the tuition exemption for graduate students! | ||
- | As and aside: do what you can to support national parks! | ||
- | |||
- | Thanks for all your hard work, | ||
