| ==== Summary ==== |
| |
| On May 18 and 19, 20009, ASTRON hosted a LOFAR Technical Status |
| meeting in Dwingeloo. This meeting brought together technical |
| working groups from all the Key Science Projects as well as many of |
| the international partner consortia. With the first Dutch and |
| international LOFAR stations now in the field and more on the way, |
| LOFAR is preparing to move into a new phase of its construction. This |
| next phase will include an intense period of technical commissioning |
| and scientific validation ramping up to actual science observations |
| early in 2010. This commissioning period is expected to kick-off in |
| the fall of 2009 with its first major activity, an initial shallow all- |
| sky survey to populate the global sky model (GSM) required for LOFAR's |
| calibration. |
| |
| Following this initial GSM survey, the Radio Observatory at ASTRON |
| plans to solicit proposals for commissioning projects from the various |
| LOFAR Key Science Projects and international partners. This meeting was |
| intended to assist the various KSP groups in the preparation of |
| commissioning proposals in response to this announcement of |
| opportunity. Over the course of the two days, members of the LOFAR |
| project reviewed the observational capabilities of the system |
| expected to be in place by the start of the GSM. Each of the KSPs |
| also summarized their specific commissioning plans as well. These |
| discussions will be used as valuable input to the integrated |
| commissioning activities that LOFAR will execute over the coming term |
| leading to a fully functional Observatory and the first science |
| results early next year. |
