NUVA (UV-Net) FP6 Progress
Roadmap in good shape and on-schedule:
- “Fundamental problems in astrophysics. Requirements for UV
observatories”, Kluwer-Springer, in press.
-
Joint Discussion during the IAU GA on the impact of stellar (UV)
astronomy on cosmological studies and on the understanding of how
life-sustainable systems are generated.
-
Conference in “El Escorial”, May 2007 to analyze the instrumentation
required to achieve some fundamental goals of modern astronomy.
John Davies. FP7 Planning Meeting, UKATC June 2006.
NUVA FP7 objectives
• Identification of the key technologies for future UV
instrumentation.
• Identification of key VO compliant tools for the analysis
and interpretation of UV data in connection with other
spectral domains.
• Keeping the UV community connected Europe-wide until
the end of the HST mission and in the advent of WSO/UV
mission.
John Davies. FP7 Planning Meeting, UKATC June 2006.
NUVA FP7 deliverables
1. Assessment study of the relevant new
technologies (gratings, narrow band filters, high
sensitivity spectral-imaging techniques, integral
field spectroscopy, spectropolarimetry).
2. VO tools to analyze UV data and integrate them
within the high redshift UV Universe targeted by
the 10-m and ELT telescopes (e.g. characteristic
structure scales in matter beams from z=0 to z=6-9).

added–value R&D
• Develop industry links and links to European
space and worldwide R&D programmes
John Davies. FP7 Planning Meeting, UKATC June 2006.

– Lead Agency UKATC
John Davies. FP7 Planning Meeting, UKATC June 2006.
FASE. (Future Astronomical Software
Environment) FP6 progress
Monthly phone meetings, Semi-annual face-to-face meetings,
Documentation and minutes on Twiki Web site
• Three main deliverables:
– High-level requirements. ( Draft version available fall 2005, Internal,
written review spring 2006, Final version fall 2006 after community
wide review)
– Achitectural concept document ( Draft available spring 2005, Review
expected late 2006 with final version early 2007)
– Interface specifications (Draft version in spring 2007 based on prototype work, Final version after review during fall 2007)

Documents will be delivered
by end 2007

John Davies. FP7 Planning Meeting, UKATC June 2006.
FASE: FP7 objectives
• Next natural step is a basic implementation
of FP6 derived specifications providing:
–
–
–
–
–
Single-user, desk-top version with scalability
Command line execution of application tasks
Links to Python scripting language
Easy interface to applications written in C and Fortran
Access to legacy applications from IRAF, MIDAS, ...
• Deliverables for a FP7 activity would be:
– Detailed design and specifications for environment
– User level documentation and tutorials
– Basic implementation of environment as source
code with installation procedures for Linux
systems
15
John Davies. FP7 Planning Meeting, UKATC June 2006.
FASE: FP7 Resources.
• Implementation requires actual man-power!
• Estimate of resources (with high uncertainties):
•
– 20-40 FTE for software development assuming
• Major parts of central framework can be obtained from other open
source projects (e.g. OpenRTE). This will be checked by prototypes forseen for fall 2006 and winter 2007.
• Environment is made available for a Linux platform only
– 20-50% adminstrative software overhead depending on how distributed
the developments will be.
– 10-20 person scientific oversight committee
– With 50% FP7 funding, this suggests at least 1-2 Meuro
Potential participants
ESO plus Institutes in Germany, Italy, Netherlands
UK, Spain, Finland, and France (plus USA)

Proposer: UKATC
Partners: ASTRON + TDF
USA: NRAO + ?
Funding: € 500000 over 5 years (want enough effort to do something, not just
talk about doing something)
