Abstract

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) implemented a new paradigm called Distributed Peer Review (DPR) as part of its proposal evaluation process in Period 110. Under DPR, Principal Investigators who submit proposals agree to review a certain number of proposals submitted by their peers and accept that their own proposal(s) are reviewed by their peers who have also submitted proposals in the same cycle. This article presents a brief overview of the DPR process at ESO, and its outcomes based on data from periods 110 and 111., Comment: Published in the ESO Messenger

Abstract

Since 2005 ESO has been working with its community and industry to develop an extremely large optical/infrared telescope. ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT for short, is a revolutionary ground-based telescope that will have a 39-metre main mirror and will be the largest visible and infrared light telescope in the world. To address specific topics that are needed for the science operations and calibrations of the telescope, thirteen specific working groups were created to coordinate the effort between ESO, the instrument consortia, and the wider community. We describe here the goals of these working groups as well as their achievements so far., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures

Abstract

Observatory end-to-end science operations is the overall process starting with a scientific question, represented by a proposal requesting observing time, and ending with the analysis of observation data addressing that question, and including all the intermediate steps needed to plan, schedule, obtain, and process these observations. Increasingly complex observing facilities demand a highly efficient science operations approach and at the same time be user friendly to the astronomical user community and enable the highest possible scientific return. Therefore, this process is supported by a collection of tools. In this paper, we describe the overall end-to-end process and its implementation for the three upcoming extremely large telescopes (ELTs), ESO's ELT, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), and the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT)., Comment: 38 pages, 20 figures.

12. The New ESO Phase 1 System for Proposal Submission

Author

Primas, Francesca, Hainaut, Olivier, Bierwirth, Thomas, Patat, Ferdinando, Dorigo, Dario, Hoppe, Elisabeth, Lange, Uwe, Pasquato, Moreno, and Sogni, Fabio

Abstract

On 1 April 2019 ESO released its new Phase1 system (p1) for the submission of Director’s Discretionary Time (DDT) observing proposals for the period between April and September 2019 (Period 103). The p1 interface will be extended to all types of observing proposals in the Period 105 Call for Proposals, which will be released in September 2019. This represents the first part of a broader overhaul of the ESO Phase 1 system that also entails a significant modernisation of the Observ-ing Programmes Committee peer review process and associated tools. Here we highlight the main features of the new user interface for proposals submission., Published in The Messenger vol. 176, pp. 41-44, June 2019.

14. End-to-End Operations in the ELT Era

Author

Hainaut, Olivier R., Bierwirth, Thomas, Brillant, Stéphane, Mieske, Steffen, Patat, Ferdinando, Rejkuba, Marina, Romaniello, Martino, and Sterzik, Michael

Abstract

The Data Flow System is the infrastructure on which Very Large Telescope (VLT) observations are performed at the Observatory, before and after the observations themselves take place. Since its original conception in the late 1990s, it has evolved to accommodate new observing modes and new instruments on La Silla and Paranal. Several updates and upgrades are needed to overcome its obsolescence and to integrate requirements from the new instruments from the community and, of course, from ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), which will be integrated into Paranal’s operations. We describe the end-to-end operations and the resulting roadmap guiding their further development., Published in The Messenger vol. 171, pp. 8-13, March 2018.
