[asac] Monday, July 10 ASAC Telecon Agenda & Dial-in Information

[Karl Menten]

Dear ASAC members,

Here are agenda and dial-in information for the next ASAC telecon on
Monday, July 10 at 14:15 UT (= 16:15 CEST = 10:15 EDT = 07:15 PDT
= 23:15 Japan) >>> NOTE THE CHANGED HOURS!!!
---

Agenda items so far include:

(1) ALMA receiver development (Wolfgang Wild will be joining in);
    in particular:
    - outstanding questions on RX specs
    - RX calibration: Do we need a cold load or not, or ambient+hot
      or what else
    - progress on the water vapor radiometers (on any and all fronts)

(2) Japanese participation:
    There is still no official ASAC reply to the ALG on this issue.
    Al Wootten sent an email around discussing several of the
    issues raised in the "Plan for an Enhanced ALMA" document presented
    on 12-June-2000 by Japanese ASAC members. An edited version of
    Al's email with comments from other ASAC members integrated can be
    found under
    http://www2.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/staff/kmenten/alg-response.txt

    This document should just serve as a basis for discussion.
    In particular, the "Terahertz Array" concept has so far not been
    broadly discussed by the ASAC.

(3) Agenda for our next face-to-face meeting on September 9/10 in
    Berkeley
