OIR C OMMITTEE S TATUS R EPORT 2 nd face-to-face meeting Oct , 2014 Beckman Center of the National Academies Irvine, CA

S TATEMENT OF T ASK In order to best address the science objectives identified in the Decadal Surveys, and to help achieve the best science return from NSF investment in OIR astronomy over the next years, the committee will: 1. Identify the principal capabilities that exist in the U.S. ground-based optical and infrared system-- both federal and non-federal--and are critical to addressing the science objectives 2. Identify the most important additions and adjustments to the U.S. ground-based O/IR system that would best position it to address the science objectives

I N ITS WORK, THE COMMITTEE will develop its own working definition of the U.S. OIR system will develop its own working definition of the U.S. OIR system will consider instrumentation, data management, and support capabilities (incl. training, and sustaining expertise) alongside observational capabilities will consider instrumentation, data management, and support capabilities (incl. training, and sustaining expertise) alongside observational capabilities will focus on achieving science outcomes for LSST and non-LSST decadal priorities will focus on achieving science outcomes for LSST and non-LSST decadal priorities will consider what coordination is needed will consider what coordination is needed

Weekly telecons (13 so far) First face-to-face meeting July 2014; discussions with NSF, DOE, NASA, OSTP, STScI, NRAO, ESO Technical and demographic information requested from 24 public and private observatories; received 80% to date (deadline was Sept 29) Background material written for report (current science, observatories, training, and sustaining expertise); start of summary of needs White Papers and comments requested from community; 38 WP from 317 authors + 3 comments received to date (advertised on NRC, AAS webpages; Astronomers facebook 4 times; AAS and NOAO exploders; Nature news interview) W ORK S TATUS

U PCOMING WORK Continue weekly telecons to formulate conclusions and recommendations, and continue discussions on White Papers Continue to receive White Papers till December Continue report writing Dec. 2-3 – final face-to-face meeting, Washington DC Mid-January – finalize draft Late January – submit report to NRC for external review Feb.-April – revise report after comments received April – release report to NSF and the public

I N OPEN SESSIONS : Discuss future plans and the OIR System outlook with federal and private observatory directors Hear from data management experts Hear from AO experts Discuss White Papers received Hear from community Discuss report guidelines with NSF and public I N CLOSED SESSIONS : Review guiding principles Discuss conclusions and possible recommendations Discuss other input needed Decide on speakers for December face-to-face meeting Agree on writing assignments for report G OALS THIS MEETING

E ND G AME Ultimately, our report should have actionable recommendations that enable the best science by helping to unite the System in a way that makes it greater than the sum of its parts.
