Project Book Revision -- Wootten

This needs to be done within the next month. Chapters which the science group has traditionally participated in include:

Table of Contents

3 Calibration

1. General Calibration Issues (Holdaway &

Wootten) (alternative as HTML ) 2001-02-06

This chapter will be revised in the light of the June PDR last year. I'll get up with Stephane on what to do as this seems a larger task than some others.

2. Calibration Hardware (Payne, Vaccari et al.) (alternative HTML ) 2001-02-02

This needs input from IRAM on the semi-transparent vane, in my opinion. It should have something about the optical pointing telescopes also. It should also include WLM material from Cambridge, IMHO. However, I think it is inevitable that some items mentioned in 3.1 won't be addressed yet in 3.2--FTS for instance.

13 Data Analysis: Imaging Requirements (Holdaway 2000-04-24 & Wootten)

This chapter should make use of the Science Software Requirements Documents. I'll ask Mark and Steve to work on this.

14 Site Characterization (PDF) also available as 2001-08-01 HTML format (Radford)

I think Simon has revised this.

Array Configuration (Min Yun)

15 NB: Significant revision expected after Feb 2000-12-12 2001 PDR

I plan on asking Butler to do this when they return from scoping out the new configuration designs at Chajnantor. He has started on this by updating the WWW site.
