Proposal for tasks and schedule

- Coordination is needed- Tasks- Tools

- Topics- Which areas are not covered- Manpower versus needs- Complementary observations

- Tools and methods- End to end simulation- Prototype of reduction

20/04/02 - F.A. DMS/PS organisation 2

Questions (I)

•Selection function–Should we go fainter in magnitude (larger mass ratios)–In MBP/Spectro and in astro–Which choice in dense areas

•How to organise the future DMS data processing–Rejection from core processing–Various categories of DMS–Concurrential methods

20/04/02 - F.A. DMS/PS organisation 3

Questions (II)

•Impact of binarity on spectro design–Resolution and SB2 (simulation with correct instrumental effects - in progress)–Someone from the RVS group could come into the DMS group?

•Impact of binarity on MBP design–Interacting binaries–Classification of unresolved binaries–Need of interface with the photometric group?

Prio 1A: the satellite design

•On-board detection–Detection algorithm Arenou/Babusiaux -> SEPT 02

–Detection limits for multiple objects•Sample and patch study

–Optimise sampling windows and observing Söderhjelm–strategy(at different magnitudes) Söderhjelm

•MBP/Spectro simulations–Spatial resolution problems (large pixels!)–Binarity effects for the filter selections–Spectral resolution for efficient SB detection

•Random & systematics for bright stars–gain

(Short term: - september 2002, PDHE study)Long term: - early 2005, design frozen

(much before, because of testing)

Actions

•Activate PS web page–F.A.

•Give simulated data for orbit determination–First agree on protocol–F.A./C.B.

•Blind tests for orbits–Dimitri–Alessandro–Hans-H

•What people can give, what they request for simulations–All–Mario+Dimitri to agree on protocol and to contact Carine for simulations–ML: circulate a page
