Info

Update (20/12/21): The information on this page (and that on the child pages detailing the Phase C DEV and DRP WP calls) has been updated in the light of two things that have happened since this page was published in November:

  1. STFC have confirmed the dates for the 2022 PPRP meetings. The summer meeting at which the Phase C proposal will be considered is now scheduled for June, rather than July, as is usually the case, with the result that the proposal must now be submitted in March, rather than April, as had previously been discussed with STFC. This makes the timescale for the DEV WP selection process very tight, so successful applicants will have to be prepared to act very promptly in providing input to the Phase C case and in preparing their JeS forms.

  2. We have agreed with STFC and our Oversight Committee how we should handle the allocation of the Phase C DRP WPs, given that the exact mix of skills needed for our DRP role in operations remains unclear, as detailed on the DRP call page linked below.

The resultant changes are indicated by striking through old text and adding new text in red.

Summary

The LSST:UK Science Centre (LUSC) Phase C proposal is due to be submitted to PPRP in April March 2022. This document summarises the process by which the Work Package (WP) content of that proposal will be developed, and includes a call for software development (DEV) WPs, proposals for which should be submitted by 16.00 on Thursday, 20 January 2022. This wiki page will be updated to include a subsequent call for bids to undertake the Phase C Data Release Processing WPs.

  • WP1: The Consortium Board will confirm the holders of the WP1 leadership and management roles for Phase C, while Aprajita Verma is the IPC funded as part of the UK in-kind package . Proposals for funding to support commissioning work are being considered under a dedicated call process, and the community scientist secondment scheme will be launched via an open call early in Phase C.

  • WP2: Work on the DAC WP will continue in Edinburgh;

  • WP3: The DEV WPs will be selected via an open call, as detailed below; and
