Number | Item Wished from HESS | Rationale |
---|---|---|
1 | Cross-calibration | Joint approach in methodology, feasibility and application. Long term issue. |
2 | Notifications of observed transient events | If HESS sees a transient event LAT could decide whether this should trigger a pointed GLAST Target of Opportunity. This kind of information is traditionally shared among VHE observatories and could be useful for us as well. |
3 | Time sharing on HESS observations | HESS could open a fraction of its observation time for GLAST-LAT initiated projects (5%? more? with AO Sept. 2007?), to be conducted as joint observations. |
4 | Coordinated observation campaigns | A specific and instantly applicable policy to request VHE observations on LAT targets. Somewhat similar to (3), but data sharing may or may not be the determining issue. |
5 | Upper limits or weak detections (below threshold for stand-alone publication) in regions of VHE coverage | Either individually requested or an occasionally updated u.l. map to help to constrain source models for LAT sources. |
6 | Repeated monitoring of not firmly identified galactic VHE/GeV source associations unidentified galactic sources seen by both H.E.S.S. and LAT | Investigate potential variability to aid in source identifcation. |
7 | VHE source spectra & lightcurves | Detailed MWL modeling of a few (t.b.d.) dedicated LAT/VHE objects. |
8 | Extended VHE source templates | Actual data products of extended VHE-sources to be used as morphology templates in LAT high-GeV analysis and MWL modeling. |
