SRAO Heuristics | Recalibration - VLA | Recalibration support for VLA continuum | Q2 | Workspaces | ||||

Heuristic items below not FY2023 POP targets, reserved for FY2024 consideration | ||||||||
| Recalibration - VLA spectral line | Heuristics Definiton | Q4 | implementation | pipeline; workspaces | Push off to FY2024? Recipe could be available at end of FY2023, but operations could not start until Q1/Q2 FY2024 | |||
ALMA Standard Images | Serve ALMA standard image products from archive | Q4 | SSA | AAT | ||||
| VLA Multi-Configuration Imaging heuristic definition | Define heuristics for VLA multi-configuration imaging | Q3 | heuristics | Will start in FY2023 | ||||
| DOIs -? SSA dependency (maybe just for collections) | SSA | |||||||
| ALMA Multi-Config heuristics | Define heuristics for ALMA multi-config imaging | SRAO/ALMA-PLWG | ALMA-PLWG | |||||
SRAO Operations | VLA standard calibration | L & S-band | SRAO | Gain compression fix in pipeline; Flagging improvements | Start with S-band, add L-band later if DA etc resources permit. Incremental improvement so not a POP goal. Compression fix will be ready for Fall 2022. TEC Maps for L-band will also be available, calibration would have to wait if TEC is needed. | |||
| VLA User-driven imaging Pilot | SRAO | Workspaces/AAT | ->2024? | |||||
| VLA recalibration | SRAO | Workspaces/AAT | ->2024? | |||||
| Large Project/collection Support | ALFALFA + Other collection ingest | Enable Large program support | Q4? | SRAO | AAT/Workspaces | POP Goal? | ||
