ATNF Operations Time allocation statistics TAC – proposed changes ATOA update Operations restructure External user feedback

Time allocation at Parkes and ATCA ~55% of time at Parkes is allocated to Large Projects ~40% of time at Compact Array is allocated to Large Projects ~60% of Parkes time is allocated to pulsar projects.

TAC: Changes

TAC: Changes - goals  Reduce the load on TAC members to about 15 – 20 proposals per semester  Increase the range of scientific expertise  Involve overseas users in the TAC process  Establish TAC process that is scalable  Aim to start new process for 2009APRS

TAC: Proposed changes ( not finalised )  Proposals reviewed by about six sub-panels, each with 3 or 4 members.  Each sub-panel has leader in Australia  All panel members access proposals through OPAL  Panels set up primarily by topic area  Panel leaders collate and merge comments for their subset of proposals  Panel leaders and TAC Chair meet to briefly review all proposals  ATNF provides TAC administration and meeting coordination

ATOA Update ATCA data loaded to 10 Feb 2008 Now loading ATCA data (from tapes) to end-April 2008 MOPS data now available for May – 26 Nov 2006 (same interface) Next stages: Load MOPS data to mid-July 2007 (data files already in Marsfield) ATCA data streaming from Narrabri to Marsfield with ‘continuous’ loading ATOA upgrades for CABB Continue with MOPS transfer & loading ATOA upgrades for VLBI

ATNF Future Operations: User input So far: 3 March – 9 April: The Future Operations Plan was presented and discussed with USYD, UNSW, UTAS, Swinb, UWA, RSAA, ADFA 19 March: Open forum held in Marsfield What next?: End-May: Joint ATNF/ATUC summary of user input (Chapman & Sadler) June 1-5: McConnell& Chapman at AAS meeting in St Louis June 2008: ATNF response to points raised 11 June: ATCA Science Day in Marsfield End-July: version 2 of ‘ATNF Future Operations’

10 1. Restructure Operations into Science Operations & Engineering Operations 2. Establish Science Operations Centre (SOC) at central location (initially Marsfield) 3. Streamline scheduling and observing modes Future Operations: Overview
