Discussion Part 2: MKSP work plan
1. Project Plan (Deadline: 2009 May 15)
·
-

Science background and goals:
Galactic fields (M. Haverkorn) Pulsars & the Galactic magnetic field (A. Noutsos) Spiral galaxies (R. Beck) Irregular, dwarf & interacting galaxies (C. Chyzy) Giant radio galaxies (G. de Bruyn) Intergalactic filaments (P. Alexander) Stellar jets & AGN jets (J. EislЖffel)

· · ·

Source lists (all) General technical requirements (all) Software and processing requirements (all)


2. Use Cases
·
-

(detailed technical specifications, guide to the LAD group) (Deadline: 2009 June 30) Contents:
Flux densities & dynamic ranges (in Stokes I and PI) Integration times and distribution (continuous or blocks) Angular resolution & angular size of interest Field of view Number of simultaneous beams Time resolution Frequency resolution & frequency span Subband frequency selection RM resolution & total RM range Images or RM cubes needed ? Type of RM analysis ? Analysis of full RM cube or only subregion(s) ? Visualisation of RM cubes needed ? Required storage and timescale
