Work Meeting February 8-11, 2002
Place
Vidéum
P G Vejdes väg 15
Växjö University Campus.
Main Task
Drafting of the first version of the Science Case report for LOIS
and the endorsement of LOIS to - and integration into - the LOFAR Science
Consortium, and finishing the User Requirements Document (URD) for
the kind of science we want to do.
Issues to address
-
How should the passive observation (reception of radio emissions)
and the active probing (solar radar studies) of the solar corona be
combined in the most optimum way in order to get maximum information
on the solar processes?
-
What radar returns can be expected from turbulent transition
layers in the solar wind and the magnetosphere (bow shock,
magnetopause,...)?
-
What other experiments/studies of this kind have been undertaken?
-
What is the radar cross section of CMEs for our 20-200 MHz radar?
-
If our LOIS radar antenna gets as big as we want it, the near zone
will extend almost to the moon! What kind of interesting new things
can you do in the ionosphere/inner magnetosphere with a radar which
operates in the near zone? Remember that we will have full control
over the amplitude and phase of each antenna and may therefore, in the
near zone, be able to focus our beam (both in transmission and
reception) into a "hot spot".
-
How will the multi-station layout and the station interconnect be affected
by the scientific/technological requirements?
-
How can we find the optimum beam-forming algorithm for getting the
most flexible and sensitve/useful radar beam?

Accommodation and Maps
All attendees are invited to the Växjö University annual
jubilee banquet on Saturday night. It sounds like a good idea to
take a break from the work and attend the banquet. Please note
that this is a formal thing and that a dark lounge suit is required.
