Number | Item Wished from HESS | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
1 | Information about telescope performance and source observability, to the extent HESS is willing to share (Olaf's list - probably expand into several items here) | Allow estimates of LAT ability to add useful data |
2 | Information about data analysis plans and procedures, to the extent HESS is willing to share (Olaf's list - probably expand into several items here) | Help determine comptability with LAT approaches |
3 | Observing schedule | LAT can make sure quick results on HESS target sources are available |
4 | Derived detections or upper limits (from archive) for LAT sources with hard enough spectra to be of interest | Constrain source models and/or time variability |
5 | Tool to show visibility/sensitivity for any sky position at any time | If LAT sees something (like a flare) of interest, this tool would determine whether HESS should be notified. In addition, this information might determine whether a pointed Target of Opportunity for GLAST might include HESS. |
6 | Notifications of observed transient events | If HESS sees a transient event we could decide whether this should trigger a pointed Target of Opportunity. This kind of information is traditionally shared among VHE observatories and could be useful for us as well. |
7 | Low energy efficient spectra on known sources | HESS seems to have a set of analysis methods (3D, model, standard) with a varying set of cuts (standard, high). Could we have an analysis of all/some sources with the analysis that optimizes low energies. |
