LAT Collaboration Meeting, 23 - 25 October 2002 -- Draft agenda

Wednesday, October 23 -- 1:45-4:00, Scientific Updates -- WG1

  • Results from EGRET on gamma-ray emission from galaxy clusters - Reimer
  • Diffuse gamma-ray emission from external galaxies - Digel
  • GALPROP: Recent development and results - Moskalenko
  • Interpretation of gamma-ray emission from SNR RX J1713.7-3946 - Pohl

Thursday, October 24 -- 8:45-9:45, Scientific Updates -- WG 1 and WG 2 Joint Session

  • Pulsar searches in EGRET error boxes - Harding
  • Sources and propagation of TeV electrons - Grenier

Thursday, October 24 -- 9:45-12:00, Science Tools Discussions -- WG 1 and WG 2 Joint Session

Interstellar Emission Model

  • Considerations from GMULT & GBIAS maps from EGRET analysis - Hunter
  • Interdisciplinary meeting for evaluating the gas and radiation distributions in the Milky Way - Grenier
  • Discussion of issues, e.g., - All
    1. Inputs and outputs, plus adjustable parameters for the model
    2. Distinguishing between the model to be provided for standard LAT point source analysis and one used for investigating the diffuse emission itself (outside of the standard analysis environment)

Observation Simulator Modules

  • Discussion of issues, e.g. - All
    1. What specific source models need to be defined, e.g., for galaxy clusters or SNR?
    2. How will the observation simulator work?
    3. Simple models (a canned list of sources, or source maps, and spectra) vs. complex (i.e., with appropriate adjustable parameters)
