Team structureStructure

The final design and implementation of the ULLYSES program and the production of high-level data products will be undertaken by a Core Implementation Team (CIT), working in conjunction with Science Advisory Committee (SAC). The overall program will be coordinated by the CIT lead, who has the final authority for decisions. They will be assisted by an observing technical lead and data technical lead. The team leads are:

                          Julia Roman-Duval (Team CIT Lead), Charles Proffit (Observing Technical Lead) and Gisella de Rosa (Data Technical Lead).

...

                            Alessandra Aloisi, Chris Britt, Ivo Busko, Joleen Carlberg, Will Fischer (SAC liason, low-mass stars), Andrew Fox, Alex Fullerton (SAC liason, massive stars), Bethan James, Robert Jedrzejewski, Sean Lockwood, Elaine Mae Frazer, Talawanda Monroe, Cristina Oliveira, Linda Smith, Tony Sohn, Rachel Plesha, Adric Riedel, Allyssa Riley, Dick Shaw, Jo Taylor, Dan Welty.

The HST Mission Head, Tom Brown, and the Associate Director for Science, Neill Reid, will serve as a Program Advisory Council (PAC) to provide advice on high-level issues, as needed.

he The SAC comprises research scientists from STScI and the community who are committed to providing scientific advice to the CIT on scientific aspects of the implementation process, including the selection of appropriate targets, filter selection, distribution of exposure times, and the relative priorities of different analysis tools. The SAC will help define the high-level science products generated by the CIT. The SAC will advise the CIT on the scientific aspects of program implementation and will be briefed regularly on progress by the CIT Lead or their designate. Members of the SAC will not participate in any functional activities connected with the ULLYSES program implementation, and will not have access to either high-level data products or associated tools until those products and tools are released to the general community.

The SAC members are:

Jean-Claude Bouret (Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille), Catherine Espaillat (Boston University), Chris Evans (UK Astronomy Technology Centre), Kevin France (University of Colorado), Miriam Garcia (Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial), Chris Johns-Krull (Rice University), Derck Massa (Space Science Institute), Joan Najita (NOAO)

Data release schedule

ULLYSES has an extensive target list, with sources spanning a wide range of RA and Dec, but with concentrations in certain parts of the sky such as the Magellanic Clouds. In general, observations of individual targets will require fewer than 5 orbits. Those observations will be interspersed with other GO and DD programs throughout the year. All data will be non-proprietary and available immediately through the MAST archive. Higher-level data products for ULLYSES targets will be released on a regular (2-3 month) cadence, with the details set by the implementation team.
