Meetings This Week-Wootten

Can it be true that there aren't any? Well, except for this one...

Perhaps Jeff and Simon can report on the site after ASAC...

It was time for monthly reports, now become bimonthly reports. The July/August 2001 NSF Bi-Monthly Report is available at Carolyn's Place.

ACA Report -- Holdaway, Wootten

Ewine laid out a schedule for finishing the ACA Science Case for the ACC.

Schedule Science Cases for enhancements (Appendix ~10 p. + figures):

=======================================

- ACA science case -> Ewine Sept. 29

- Complete draft -> ASAC Oct. 8

- Comments ASAC -> Ewine Oct. 11

- Final report to E-ACC Oct. 15

Min has a new analysis of M51 available.

Mark has put his surface error simulations on a WWW site.

Stephane's group has performed some simulations on a file provided by Crutcher:

"We made a few test with Dick Crutcher polarisation images. Results can be downloaded at here. They are astonishing: ALMA+SD completely fails. The "hybrid" technique does a decent job without errors, but has more limited success in the "typical" error case produced. Errors are dominated by the pointing error in this case (just by accident, we don't control the random numbers)."
