JEM-X MONDAY MEETING #78: Monday 14th November 2005
		
Instrument status: Continuing hotspot activity on JEM-X1, otherwise nothing to
	report.
ISDC: JC was instrument rep at ISDC last week. Had to help operators re-boot
	instrument station which also requires resetting the telemetry server
	which only Daniel and Mathias seem to know about. This is now described
	in a note at ISDC by JC.
	JC discussed Known Issues and Release Note with Stephane; source 
	extraction with REST events must be available to complete certain
	lightcurves; implementation of source list extraction from mosaics to
	improve weak source detection, in j_ima_mosaic or using FTOOLS and
	IRAF? Discussed SB's Gain Correction User Requirements with Mathias and
	Stephane: they will send a formal reply. They evidently think we have
	all the verification data we need in the ipf files.
	Who should go to ISDC next? NL will probably go down second week in
	January 2006. 
Coordination meeting at ISOC  15-16 December to discuss Earth 
	observation/occultation exercise. NL will attend.
Alignment studies: Catalogue problems (see below) also play an important role.
	Using new ISDC catalogues CBJ can get all sources to fit within 
	7 arcsecs, which is big leap forward. Seems to be a correlation between
	position deviations and mask teperature which varies from -40 to 0 deg
	from shadow to sunny side (aspect angle -40 deg). Two temp. sensors
	on mask can be used to see temperature gradients.
Catalogue problems: ISDC catalogues not very good. Version 22 show many sources
	with worse positions than in v.21; these provided by Tony Bird's ISGRI
	results. [These have since been withdrawn by ISDC, use v.20 or v. 23
	(if available) of ISDC catalogues instead.]
Housekeeping data: SB has discovered that beside the SCW-by-SCW CSSW data there
	is HK data under OSM which is averaged over each SCW though making
	averages of some quantities (e.g. instrument mode) has no real  meaning.
OSA 5.1: NJW has promised a new SVR for this release, and will send us all a
	work list of things we each should provide. Some position verification
	analyses he's done will have to be repeated using v.20 of ISDC
	catalogues now that problems with v.22 have been found.
SDAST meeting: Peter, Silvia, Stefan and Andreii Neronov will be coming; 
	Stephane and Tim can't come.
Core program for AO4: Only 25% of AO4 is Core Program (about 6 Msecs per year).
	No longer a big need for GPs because so many satellites in orbit.
	No more deep galactic exposures except to fill holes in current GPS
	results. No TOOs in core program: all TOOs must be part of a proposal
	and will belong to an observer, so no more public GRBs.
