Telecon Notes May 16, 2018

Attendance: Shaul, Hannes, Amy, Al,

Notes by: Karl

Agenda

  • AAS2019 (Shaul)
  • TeamX slides (Amy)
  • Noise Requirements vs Current Best Estimate (CBE)
    • Proposal: Req = CBE*rt(2)/0.9, independent of frequency
    • rt(2) because “Planck achieved noise within ~20% of CBE” (to be checked)
    • 0.9 because the cost models assume 90% yield
    • first factor is applied on individual detectors, second factor on the array.

Notes

AAS2019 (Shaul)

  • End of May is special session request deadline. No current Probe special session planned for 2019.
  • SH: contacted Asantha Cooray and Jason Glenn suggesting a group special session. These 3 are most related probes. Would give 1/2 hour to discuss each project. Timely since right after reports finished.
    • HH: yes. Good idea. Gets outcome of probe studies out broadly.
    • AT: surprising if NASA doesn't do this for all Probes, but this can be replaced if NASA makes full probe session.
      • SH: separate sessions give more time per study. That would better.
      • AT: Agree, just expect NASA to set one up. But if multiple sessions already set then NASA maybe doesn't bother.
    • SH: Will proceed with this 3 group session plan. Plan of 3 thirty minute talks. 30 min per probe. groups can subdivide. 2 weeks to submit this. Iterating with Asantha and Jason.

TeamX slides (Amy)

  • No specific hang-ups. Feelers out to export office on process.
  • Process will probably be weeks to release.
  • SH: I can flag a subset that is most important to release.
    • AT: ok. that would shorten time to release.

Noise/Bands Figure

Noise Requirements vs Best Case Estimate (BCE) Current Best Estimate (CBE)

  • AT: standard NASA term is current best estimate (CBE)
  • starting from r is awkward as foreground limits aren't well understood. so r values don't set a noise requirement.
  • we'll adopt this empirical noise requirement and iterate that with science case.
