Fiscal Year 2023 Planning

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SRAO Heuristics | ||||||||
| AUDI and VUDI deployed with self-calibration | Additional changes to Fall2022 pipeline to include selfcal module | Q2 | SRAO | implementation starting | Pipeline | Heuristics defined, implementation starting | ||
| SRDP Pipeline release | Software and documentation | Q2 | Pipeline | 6.4-38 | ||||
| Scriptable query interface for Archive | Q3 | SSA | SSA planning | Archive | Scriptable Query Interface to NRAO Archive | |||
| VLA Standard Calibration/Imaging/AUDI | Deploy updated pipeline supporting VLA calibration, VLA imaging, and AUDI imaging | Q1 | SRAO/Pipeline | Validation/Implementation | Pipeline | |||
Heuristic items below not FY2023 POP targets, reserved for FY2024 consideration | ||||||||
Recalibration - VLA | Recalibration support for VLA continuum | Workspaces | ||||||
| Recalibration - VLA spectral line | Heuristics Definiton | 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 | Q4 | SRAO | Workspaces/AAT | POP Goal, carry over from FY21 5.7-16 | ||||
| VLA recalibration | SRAO | Workspaces/AAT | →2024 (needs significant DA effort) | |||||

| VLASS | VLASS 3.1 Observing | Q3 | VLASS | 5.7-8 | POP Goal | |||
