Summary of activities March 2014 - May 2015

100 - Management

  • First GENUS trimestral telecon on 12 of March 2015 to complement monthly telecons CU9 - GENIUS.

200 - User community

  • Costigan gave a talk on Gaia at University College Dublin (7th April). Also meet with Parameter Space (UCD, Dublin), who have been awarded the Geo Return contract to build a Gaia added value interface portal (GAVIP) for the archive.
  • Costigan attended the GAVIP System concept workshop at ESAC (14th April). Also in attendence were the Finish group (Space Systems) and Portuguese group (Fork Research) who will build advanced archive tools within the GAVIP framework.
  • YY attend Gaia CU3 AGIS meeting at Heidelberg, (http://wiki.cosmos.esa.int/gaia-dpac/index.php/CU3:Core_Processing:Meetings:AGIS_22#Agenda) and have a talk on Nano-JASMINE status. Gaia and Nano-JASMINE members share the situation.

T4.4 - VO tools and services

500 - Validation

  • Implementation of tests for validation of parallax and improvement of previously implemented tests.
  • Comparison of mock catalogue gerenerated from a new version of BGM adapted and improved for modelling of bright stars with 9 < G mag < 13 (R.Moor, Barcelona Univ., A. Robin) with Tycho, RAVE, and AGISLab catalogue with the aim of optimzing validation methods and criteria.
  • Significant modification of validation code to implement magnitude and latitude dependent validation criteria.
  • Preparation and publication of the Software Release Note for WP943 validation package.
