LSST Operations Planning continues to be a focus in the Project Office. An operations Management working group, led by AURA with participation from SLAC and LSSTC, met the weeks of January 16 and January 30 to refine details of the governance model planned for LSST during operations.
Members of the Telescope & Site group were in Italy this week, reviewing progress with EIE on the Dome, which will be boxed and shipped to Chile starting in mid-February. [Read more] Meanwhile in Spain, assembly of the Oil Supply System has begun at Asturfeito, along with continued progress on the azimuth main support, elevation trunions, and elevation cradles, all components of the Telescope Mount Assembly.
Bertrand Rigaud joined the Data Management subsystem as Software Engineer. Bertrand's home institution is the IN2P3 / CNRS computing center located in Villeurbanne, France.
Tom Peterson has joined the Camera subsystem as Camera Refrigeration Coordinator. Tom’s home institution is the SLAC Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park, CA.
One new job was added to the LSST Hiring Page this week for a “Polyfunctional” based in La Serena, Chile.
For the past three years, LSST Corporation’s Enabling Science program has supported LSST-related research in the form of grants. Over this time-frame, LSSTC’s member institutions have been the recipients of 88% of the $700,000 awarded. In 2017, member institution-related scientists claimed 93% of the total grant dollars awarded. This year’s Call for Proposals culminated in 17 awards totaling $300,000, including eight for undergraduate research projects and support.

La Planificación de Operaciones de LSST continúa siendo un foco en la Oficina de Proyectos. Un grupo de trabajo de gestión de operaciones, dirigido por AURA con participación de SLAC y LSSTC, se reunió en las semanas del 16 y 30 de enero para afinar los detalles del modelo de gobernanza previsto para LSST durante las operaciones.
Miembros del grupo de Telescopio & Sitio estuvieron en Italia esta semana, revisando el progreso de la cúpula con EIE, que serán embalados y enviados a Chile a partir de mediados de febrero. [Leer más] Entretanto, en España, el ensamblaje del sistema de alimentación de aceite ha comenzado en Asturfeito, junto con el continuo progreso en el soporte principal de acimut, pivote de elevación y cuna de elevación, todos componentes del Conjunto de Montaje del Telescopio.
Bertrand Rigaud se unió al subsistema de Gestión de Datos como ingeniero de software. La entidad de origen de Bertrand es IN2P3 / CNRS Computing Center ubicado en Villeurbanne, Francia.
Tom Peterson se ha sumado al subsistema de la cámara como Coordinador de Refrigeración de la Cámara. La entidad de origen de Tom es SLAC Linear Accelerator Center en Menlo Park, CA.
Se ha añadido un nuevo trabajo para el LSST Hiring Page esta semana para un Conductor "Polyfunctional" basado en La Serena, Chile.
Durante los últimos tres años, el programa de la Corporación LSST Enabling Science ha apoyado programas de investigación relacionados con LSST en forma de subvenciones. Durante este período de tiempo, las instituciones miembro de LSSTC han sido destinatarios del 88% de los 700.000 dólares otorgados. En 2017, científicos relacionados con instituciones miembro reclamaron el 93% de la donación total de dólares adjudicados. Este año la convocatoria culminó en 17 premios por un total de 300.000 dólares, incluidos 8 para proyectos de investigación sub graduados y apoyo.
