開催結果＆当日の様子はこちら

Goals of the meeting:

The PFS white paper was a science document largely constructed within the Japanese community to illustrate the overall potential of PFS. At the January Subaru Users meeting PI Murayama suggested that the exploitation of PFS should be undertaken in two ways: (i) an international SSP involving both the core PFS team and the members of the Japanese community, and (ii) general access by the Japanese community for independent programs. Before funds can be raised for the
instrument, the international partners in PFS must better understand the arrangements.

Specifically, we need to discuss how the international SSP will be developed. By when must it be agreed? What are the science areas it will contain? Will there be any flexibility in the science case given we cannot predict now all the important science PFS may accomplish when it is undertakes a survey perhaps in a period some years away? It may be that the PFS SSP does not follow precisely the format of earlier SSP programs.

As IPMU is not a representative of the Japanese astronomical community, the meeting can act as an important means for discussions between the Japanese community and the core PFS team.

The meeting will also provide a much-needed opportunity to review the newly-formed PFS project office. How will this office function and interface with the international partners? Technically, the project faces many hurdles in developing a credible timeline given the numerous constraints. What are the restrictions on spending the current IPMU funds? Different components of PFS are in different stages of technical and financial readiness. Will construction be begun before all the funds have been raised? Will project reviews of the various components be conducted simultaneously or independently?
