First Light Science: Observing Strategies Dale A. Frail

What have we learned so far? Powerful capabilities Delivered over time Evolving opportunities Limited staff resources SAGE meeting, May 22-23, 2007

Timescales and Opportunities 2007: Old Correlator Now 2008: Prototype Correlator A 2009: Begin WIDAR Installation B 2010: WIDAR Installation Complete C 2011: Shared Risk Observing D 2012: Full Operations E

Different First Light Observing Strategies There’s no “science” in Commissioning Continue to run the old correlator with new feeds Regular, Large and Special proposal calls Science = new tuning capabilities of broadband feeds Access to new correlator limited to staff who will be free to bring up basic observing modes asap Not a strawman. e.g. ALMA Science Commissioning and Verification Plan SAGE meeting, May 22-23, 2007

Different First Light Observing Strategies (cont’d) Community Driven  Staff Executed Press-worthy result e.g. Chandra (PKS 0637-752 jet and Cas A pt src) Captures media and broad community attention Images seems to have highest impact EVLA “first light” is not a single epoch Legacy or Key Project approach e.g. Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS) and Legacy Projects Early demonstration of capabilities. Multi-λ follow-up\ Exercises a limited number of observing modes EVLA is not going to run out of cryogen any time soon SAGE meeting, May 22-23, 2007

Different First Light Observing Strategies (cont’d) Community & Staff  Driven & Executed Trust the peer-review process (press, regular, key) Build project teams Encourage (and provide support) visitors No “astro-tourists” 6 month tours of duty Give access to postdocs and possibly PhD students who participate in science verification Driving philosophy is to build back interferometry expertise in US universities and NRAO in era of ALMA and EVLA. SAGE meeting, May 22-23, 2007

Science Commissioning and Science Verification Issues How do we get outside experts to come and help? How do we reward the “Little Red Hens” Do we re-focus our pre-doc and postdoc programs? What first light science should the project teams do? SAGE meeting, May 22-23, 2007
