Or?
"The primary success metric for the SKA Observatory will be the significance of its role in making fundamental scien7fic discoveries and facilita7ng overall scien7fic progress, expressed as high impact, peer-
reviewed scien7fic papers using SKA data" (SKA Concept of Opera7ons Rev B)

CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive
· March ­ April 2014: Preliminary Design Review and panel report (Chair: Andreas
Wicenec, ICRAR)

· May 2014: CASDA response to report. Completed work from PDR recommenda7ons wiki.csiro.au/display/Preliminary+Design_Revew+11-
12+March+2014 · May 2014: Full release of document: CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive: Overview, Requirements and Use Cases (v1.0) · June 2014: Comple7on of Project Stage 0. This has included: o Analysis of system architecture, sodware design and user requirements. o Configura7on and tes7ng of physical infrastructure in the Pawsey Centre. o Development of VO prototypes o Regular consulta7ons with Science Reference Group and others · July 2014: Sodware development and related construc7on begins.


Miriad/CASA update
Mark Wieringa spent two weeks in Socorro working along with CASA developers
· `importmiriad' task will be available in CASA 4.3 to be released late this year · Lots of discussions about mosaicing, advanced imaging and calibra7on · Access to CASA source code and development environment

Short-
term Plan (6 ­ 12 months)
· · · · ·

Update CASA for ATCA documenta7on Offering a CASA tutorial during upcoming Synthesis School Primary beam models Implement CASA regression tes7ng with large ATCA data sets More detailed comparison between CASA and miriad in calibra7on aspects

Medium to long term

· S7ll commiled to minimum support to Miriad: bug fixes, minor features · Con7nue moderate development in CASA in areas of wide bandwidth, wide field of view and calibra7on · Monitor CASA and Miriad usage for ATCA


ASKAP Commissioning and Early Science Team (ACES)
Joint team (led by Dave McConnell) to deliver: Commissioning ­ led by John Reynolds Early Science, Science Demonstra7on ­ led by Lisa Harvey-
Smith) Telescope Opera7ons & Support ­ led by Phil Edwards Allows for rapid staff redeployment and reten7on of exper7se in opera7ons phase Emphasis will change over 7me (currently commissioning) Astro, Ops, Secondments, and Contracts [Bob Sault]

ACES secondments
6-
8 FTE-
years secondments (or similar) to ASKAP Commissioning and Early Science (ACES) team Bring in exper7se for ASKAP and return ASKAP-
specific exper7se to the SSTs Funded by subcontracts to Universi7es First two (Emil Lenc and Hayley Bignall) on board Priority areas include high dynamic range radio interferometry, HI imaging techniques, radio transients, polarimetric calibra7on Addi7onal roles will include scheduling, observing, enabling data access, improving documenta7on, training and suppor7ng users

The Next Year?
· Not expec7ng significant impacts in the current semester · Likely to be a decrease in capability and 7me allocated in the next semester (hope to give some indica7on by 18 June proposal deadline) · Mopra
· · · · Current contract un7l Oct 2015; aiming to fulfil this Covers only day-
to-
day running costs Community access uncertain External consor7um seeking ways to con7nue to operate Mopra; we will support this (Burton/Rowell email to ASA exploder)


Cost-
saving ideas being explored
· Focus on "legacy" projects · Parkes for just a few projects (very limited Rx changes) · Reduc7on in ATCA support = number of projects · Reduc7on in observing 7me (shut-
down periods) · ATCA "simpler" scheduling (e.g. zoom modes) · Ceasing LBA access Already implemen7ng · Effort spent on long-
term upgrades such as CABB, ATCA receivers, Parkes infrastructure -
> ASKAP


Principles for constrained budgets
Give 2 year's no7ce of major capability changes over maximising "up 7me"? Support high impact science over maintaining all capability? Favour science capability over student training?
