Archi meetings - analysis of the workflows, for the coherence of the developments in progress - general approach - interviews to understand the workflows, then meetings as needed - hot topic: DJIN

Suivi - concentrated in the CDS content, and brief reports from the service teams

Calendar:

IVOA May 12-17, Paris

Informal Astroquery visit to CDS (B. Spicoz) May 20-21

ESCAPE Task 4.3 meeting (ESO, CDS, HITS)

ESCAPE KM3NET meeting at CDS - June

EWASS June 24-28, Lyon

VESPA July 1-3, VESPA

ADASS: Oct 6-10, IVOA: Oct 11-13

Council: 12-13 November (or 26-27 November) Council being formed:

Projects: ASTERICS (ended April 30, 2019) - finished ESCAPE - just beginning (Feb 2019 - July 2022). 6 month ramp-up

Aladin: - A lot of time of PF, TB, Daniel D., CS, used to transfer of 530 HiPS (220TB) to new storage system (mid-March to end-March) - cleaning a number of things at the same time - thanks to DD, Obs system team - step-wise approach of making each volume (50 TB) operational at a time - should be no interruption for HiPS clients - second phase of acquiring the physical system to happen in 2019 (devis necessary)

- New HiPS clients: Stellarium, montage, WWT-Chinese, Digistar (prototype). HiPS becoming a standard for diffusion of images - On the fly jpeg HiPS generation - PANSTARRS, but general and could be applied to others - Data - PanSTARRS (Y), 2 bands to be processed - DES (g) has been done - New version of HST (D. Durand), astrometrically calibrated by Gaia - IPHAS (DR2) - contact with Geert Barentsen - Aladin Desktop - new beta version available today (MOC 1.1, VOTable 1.4) - ready for interop (time slider for MOC to be presented at IVOA. - Aladin Lite (MB - developed tree similar to Desktop tree) - support for mobile improved - improved algorithm for black zone when zooming - HiPS outreach - Digistar AS: history, Planetarium (Milene, Benjamin) connection. First “fish-eye” some time ago. Tests last year, and prototype. New situation interacting with commercial interest. No CDS guarantee provided. SD: IVOA presentation on HiPS used in education - e.g. Stellarium web - Ciel Astral - asks for advice on how to produce HiPS, and interest in providing a HiPS node - Europlanet - paper Geo 2 FITS - FX co-author - ESASky - continues, works better than before - CB, ML - paper in preparation on HiPS in the context of Image treatment, special issue on hierarchical methods - Stats - strong demand from XMM team who calculate lots of cut-outs

VizieR (PO)

- Stats on volume and processing - can postdoc help on associated data?

Very big increase in volume, usually 1200 per year, roughly in balance in with number selected for ingestion. For 2018, 1500 catalogues selected for ingestion, poses a challenge for ingestion. Need to prioritize, not to ask Documentalists to go faster or reduce quality. Suggested prioritization for data with coordinates on sky (compared to models or atomic data). De-priortize MNRAS?

Real increase in publication volume. On average each catalogue has more columns

CL - irregular level of quality in MNRAS (but highly cited papers)

GL - CDD Yann Bisch (text search renewal)

- Mirror in Hawaii (not being supported on their side, late responses to email, since 2 years) - Russie mirror is renewed (not yet included in the list of mirror on web interface) - Catalogue of catalogues from VESPA ( <- MA follow up)

SIMBAD - biblio: some delays due to MN abscence, and PVon activities associated to libraru - summary of analysis of processing Tables - analysis of processing - analysis of 2017 (message sent by email <— see detailed numbers in email) - we are catching up, but slowly - current team 2.5 FTE, if CDD departs then 1.5

- more messages from users asking about publication in SIMBAD - information for users is needed

DJIN - meeting this week with DJIN team - automatic download of articles in XML - examples have been collected (GM) - JATS

Dictionary - backlog reduced by 200 by year (575 left)

X-Match - last Oct/Nov on new machines, operating nominally - new exploration of techniques potentially factor 20

Portal - stable

FAIRsharing - records of Vizier and SIMBAD - status of discussions

Survey - light survey to be drafted

EWASS PO, MA, MBrouty, YS, KL, EP (ASieb) - poster (in prep by GL) - one page flyer - material for VizieR input - stand-up poster

- presentations in Special Session 34 - PO: Sharing data - associated data - MA: “FAIR data in Astronomy”
