Infrastructure cooperation network in radio astronomy

Obiettivo

Description:

The Infrastructure and Cooperation Network in Radio Astronomy (RadioNET) coordinates new initiatives in the field of radio astronomy. These include enhancing the quality of operations and making more effective use of the existing European VLBI Network of radio telescopes (EVN), and building up the necessary scientific, technical and organizational consensus for the two major future radio astronomy facilities, the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA).
During the second year, RadioNET supported coordination activities at nine EVN institutes aimed at improved quality and interoperability of the network and improving the access to the research infrastructure. A special workshop was held at the Effelsberg Observatory (MPG.IRASTR Bonn, Germany) to exchange best practices of VLBI operations. The newly established EVN Reliability Index (ERI) was used as a measure of the quality of operations. RadioNET participated in sponsorship of an EVN Summer School (San Pietro, Italy, September 2001) and publication of its proceedings. The Network is also involved in the preparation for the EVN Symposium 2002 (Bonn, Germany, June 2002). RadioNET supported in part three ALMA working meetings for European astronomers on the ALMA project development (Grenoble, February 2001; Cambridge, June 2001; Paris, February 2002). This resulted, in particular, in achieving progress in such the issues as ALMA configuration design and calibration strategy. Finally, RadioNET supported participation of the European radio astronomical community in the world-wide effort of designing the Square Kilometre Array. This activity was coordinated through the European Square Kilometre Array Consortium established under aegis of RadioNET in 2000.

Results:
During the first year, RADIONET supported coordination activities at nine EVN institutes aimed at improved quality and interoperability of the network. A workshop was held to agree on measures to be implemented to achieve these aims. The newly established EVN Reliability Index (ERI) was tested as a measure of the quality of operations. RADIONET participated in sponsorship of an EVN Symposium (Gothenburg, Sweden, June 2000) and publication of its proceedings. The Network is also involved in the preparation for the EVN School 2001 (San Pietro, Italy, September 2001). RADIONET supported in part two ALMA working meetings for European astronomers on the ALMA science case and related technologies (Bonn, October 2000; Grenoble, February 2001).

This resulted, in particular, in the publication of the document "Science with ALMA". Finally, RADIONET supported participation of the European radio astronomers in several meetings dedicated to the science and technology of the Square Kilometre Array project. The Network was instrumental in establishing the European Square Kilometre Array Consortium and in concluding the international MoU on the SKA project.
