## XSPEC 11.2

- New release with Heasoft 5.2.
- Ported to Mac OS X (Darwin)
- Estimates confidence regions on fluxes and equivalent widths
- Response matrices read up to 5 times faster
- Pileup model exact analog to that in ISIS
- New NEI models using APEC

## XSPEC 12

- Rewrite of XSPEC internals in C++
- Now “core-complete”
- More accurate and in some cases faster
- Allows multiple models with their own responses - useful for coded aperture experiments such as Integral
- Aim to release within next year

## Whither XSPEC ?

- What should we concentrate on after v12 ?
- What should be the relationship between XSPEC, Sherpa, and ISIS ?
- What models are missing or need work ?
- Should we put significant work into developing a good GUI ?

## Software Compatibility

- There are now three software systems in widespread use in high energy astrophysics.
- CIAO for Chandra, SAS for XMM-Newton, and HEAsoft for ROSAT, ASCA, RXTE, BeppoSAX, and earlier missions.
- In the next few years we will have Integral, Swift, Astro-E2, and GLAST.
- Interoperability will become more important

## Levels of Compatibility

- Non-interference
- File Compatibility
- Program Compatibility
- Download Compatibility

## Non-interference

- Multiple systems can be run together on the same computer and in the same terminal window.
- We have achieved this (I think) although there are a few commands with the same name in more than one system.

## File Compatibility

- Files can be written by one system and used in another. HEASARC file formats were intended to ensure this and have had some success.
- Chandra and XMM projects have been defining extensions - these are not necessarily compatible (eg for bad pixels).

## File Compatibility - II

- There are other problems - for instance region files produced by ds9 or fv are interpreted differently by HEAsoft, CIAO, SAS, and Funtools.

## 1

- 2

- 3

- Circle1
- Circle2
- -Circle3

- This region file produces very different results in HEAsoft, CIAO, and SAS.

## File Compatibility - II

- There are other problems - for instance region files produced by ds9 or fv are interpreted differently by HEAsoft, CIAO, SAS, and Funtools.
- Xselect/extractor in the new release produces output products consistent with CIAO and SAS eg spectra can be fed to the response and arf generation tools.

## Program Compatibility

- Programs work together seamlessly.
- Eg help can give information on all systems.
- GUIs can run tools from all systems.

## Download Compatibility

- One-click shopping.
- Users can go to one location to download software.
- It installs with a single command.

## Questions for HUG

- Is this an important issue for you ?
- What level of compatibility should we push for ? It gets harder as we work down the list.

## Slide 1

## THE ISSUE

- Exposure to petroleum
- - contaminated soil can cause adverse health effects.

## THE PROBLEM

- To quantify the human health risk of hydrocarbon
- -  contaminated soil

## THE GOAL

- To develop and validate methods for rapidly determining the amount of systemically available hydrocarbons to provide relevant information for the risk assessment process.

## Factors That Affect Health Risk of Ingested Hydrocarbons

- Intestinal Availability (Desorption from Soil, Solubilization)
- Systemic Availability (Transport from the intestine into the blood.)
- Metabolic Transformation (Activation and Detoxification)

## Solubilization of soil-bound PAHs under simulated intestinal conditions:
Temperature
pH
Salt Concentration
Mixing
Bile Salts

- Temperature
- pH
- Salt Concentration
- Mixing
- Bile Salts

**Determination of Intestinal Availability**

## Findings on Intestinal Availability

- Factors that affect intestinal availability of PAHs are:
- Soil Properties (Composition and Particle Size)
- Properties of PAHs (Decreased Availability with Increasing Lipophilicity)
- Concentration of Contaminating PAH
- Content of GI Tract (Diet)

## Findings on Systemic Availability of PAHs

- Rate of permeation of PAHs across the intestinal cell layer depends on the individual PAH and its concentration.
- Significant metabolic transformation and detoxification of PAHs occurs presystemically in the intestinal cell layer.
- Metabolites are preferentially released into the upper chamber (intestinal lumen).

## Determination of Systemic Availability

- Measuring intestinal transport of hydrocarbons in a cell culture system.

## Biomarkers of Exposure to PAHs

- A global biomarker for presence of PAHs is the induction of CYPIAI (Cytohrome P4501A1), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of PAHs.

- The GES DISC supports users of Google Earth by providing some of our datasets in the KML format which users can immediately apply as overlays. This one shows an example of  an A-Train “curtain” plot for CloudSat data.

**Data Mining Web Services**

- Mining Web Services is a joint project with the University of Alabama - Huntsville to apply their many data mining algorithms in ADAM to data at the GES DISC under a Web Services framework.

- NASA World Wind already has a list of OGC WMS that contain many TRMM rain and precipitation layers that can be displayed.

- Mirador is our fast and simple Google-based search tool for data and (soon) services. The service is soon to be made available as a standard Web Service.

**G****iovanni** (_[http://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov](http://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/)__) provides users with visualization and analysis services on many datasets from multiple sensors. Giovanni supports _OPeNDAP, WMS, standard Web Services (including SciFlo), and standard FTP. In the near future, it will also support WCS and output in KML for Google Earth users. Support for data lineage is also an active area of development in Giovanni.

*The Constellation-X design has evolved as pre-phase A mission studies have matured and in response to increased costs in the launcher market, while at the same time maintaining the core science capabilities*

**2000 - 2004**

**2005**

**2006**

## Beyond Einstein Program Status

- Challenges in overall NASA budget (Columbia loss, complete ISS, replace Shuttle, HST servicing delayed, etc) has slowed the start of Beyond Einstein
- Beyond Einstein program consists of five missions: Constellation-X, LISA, Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM), Inflation Probe and Black Hole Finder
- Decision to be made by Fall 2007 as to which the Beyond Einstein mission will be the first to start via a National Academy of Sciences Beyond Einstein Program Assessment Committee (BEPAC)
- Funding wedge for new start in 2009, and if Constellation-X is selected allows a launch in mid-2017

## BH Demographics

- D. Richstone
- Univ of Michigan
- Thanks to key collaborators:
- Tod Lauer,
- Sandy Faber,
- Karl Gebhardt,
- Scott Tremaine

- And thanks to NASA

## L and 4

- Implies L-M and s-M relations are not consistent at high mass.
- Can we guess which is correct?
- Measurements of BH M in BCGs would settle it.

## Core scouring (mass ejection by bh orbit decay) 

-  L predicts r better than  does.
- Under core-scouring, the relationship betweem Mbh & r is the fundamental one.
- M2 (2001) argue that Mej ≈p 2 r.  Can combine this with the empirical relationships above

## If core scouring is correct.... 

- The r- relation predicts Mej ≈  Mbh2.9.
- The r-L relation predicts Mej ≈  Mbh1.1.
- The r- relation predicts therefore that the most massive cores are formed by souring with relatively low mass bh.  Seems implausible.
- The M2 simulations show Mej ≈ Mbh.

## Slide 7

## Compare inferred demographics to quasars.  

- Dispersion-based demographics predict fewer high mass bh than one infers from the quasar luminosity functions.
- This is especially true when the latter are interpreted with a physical model for the lifetime above any given L/Leddington.

## Conclusions.  

- There is a conflict between the predicted densities of the highest mass BH according to whether one uses dispersion- or luminosity-based predictors of the BH mass in galaxies.
- One can make 3 weak arguments that L is the better predictor:
- L is a better predictor (less scatter) of the core (break) radius.
- Under core scattering, dispersion leads one to 2 implausible conclusions.
- L-based BH densities are consistent with a physical interpretation of quasar counts.  Dispersion-based ones are probably not.
- Measurements of BH mass in BCGs should settle the issue. Stay tuned.

- Update on National Code Migration Plan
- Other Issues

## Federal Meteorological (FMH) Handbooks

- FMH #1 (Surface Observations, e.g. METAR)
- FAA representative and Executive Secretary will review to determine what, if anything, needs to be changed to bring it into compliance with ICAO Annex 3
- FMH #3 (Upper Air Observations, e.g. radiosonde)
- Table 6.1 (PIBAL Height vs. Time) to be modified
- Executive Secretary will convene ad-hoc group of experts to review remainder of document and recommend any additional updates, especially re: ongoing deployment of Radiosonde Replacement System

## Federal Meteorological (FMH) Handbooks (cont’d)

- FMH #12 (U.S. Codes and National Practices)
- PIREP /OV section will be modified (at request of DOD/USAF) to include lat/long as an official reporting option
- Pending further FAA review, there may be additional future modifications to PIREP as well (e.g. aircraft effect on icing)
- Other U.S. Codes (e.g. RECCO) to be documented via URL links to corresponding WMO documentation
- Publication I6 (BUFR) was deleted
- Considered to be duplication of existing WMO documentation and therefore of no real benefit

## National Code Migration Plan

- Response to WMO Plan for Migration to Table-Driven Code Forms
- Summary of WMO plan can be viewed at http://www.wmo.int/web/www/WMOCodes/MigrationTDCF/SummaryMigraPlan_en.pdf
- Focus is on data exchanged internationally
- Migration to be driven primarily by data producers (vs. data users)
- Fred Branski (DOC/NOAA/NWS) is U.S. focal point
- WG/MC was tasked to develop U.S. national migration plan
- WG/MC members are currently taking stock of own agency infrastructures and reviewing with upper management in order to determine expected agency impacts
- Information to be collected into comprehensive tabular format for input to development of national plan
- Possible need to coordinate with other agencies (e.g. DHS, DOE)
- Fred Branski and Jeff Ator will attend upcoming meeting of WMO migration team in Montreal (8-12 May 2006)

## Other Issues

- WG/MC approved proposed changes to Section 5 (National Section) of WMO FM-13 (SHIP) code form, at request of NOAA National Data Buoy Center and Tropical Prediction Center
- To be implemented following official change notification procedure initiated by above agencies
- WG/MC Chairman will also notify WMO via NOAA/NWS International Affairs office
- WG/MC would like to expand membership to include other organizations producing or working with meteorological data (e.g. NASA, NESDIS, FHWA)
- Could CEISC assist in obtaining appointments of members from these agencies?

## Bioremediation Systems to Treat Nursery Runoff

- Chris Wilson and Tom Yeager
- University of Florida/IFAS
- Joe Albano
- USDA/ARS Horticultural Research Lab

## Objectives

- To evaluate the feasibility of adapting and using common aquaculture bioremediation technology for removing nutrients from nursery runoff water.

## Objectives

- Determination of conditions for optimization of:
- Nitrification (Conversion of ammonia to nitrate)
- Denitrification (Conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas)
- Phosphate precipitation

## Process Requirements

- Nitrification
- Aerobic process
- NH3/NH4+ to NO2-:  *Nitrosomonas, Nitrosoccus, Nitrospira, Nitrosolobus, Nitrosovibrio*
- NO2- to NO3-:  *Nitrobacter, Nitrococcus, Nitrospira, Nitrospina*
- Nitrifying bacteria are primarily obligate autotrophs, consuming CO2 as their primary C-source
- Denitrification
- Anaerobic/anoxic process
- Nitrate serves as electron acceptor for oxidation of organic compound (sometimes inorganic)
- Primarily organic C-source
- Phosphate precipitation
- Change from low redox potential to higher one can co-precipitate phosphate with iron and calcium

## Applications of Aquaculture Bio-filtration Technology

## Project Stages

- Phase 1:  Pilot studies
- Small scale
- Determine optimal conditions
- Phase 2 and 3:  Scale up to nursery-size
- Implement systems on working nurseries for evaluation

## TITLE:	Expansion of and improved access to the NODC/WDC ocean profile 	climate-system database, World Ocean Database	Task L-2, “NODC Staff Assistant”

**Sydney Levitus**
**National Oceanographic Data Center **
**FY09****	**

## Accomplishments in FY08

*World Ocean Database 2009* (WOD09) is nearly completed.
- Will be distributed in FY09.
- Will be the largest collection of quality-controlled ocean profile data available internationally without restriction.
- Data for 29 ocean variables including ocean tracers are included in WOD09.
- WOD09 includes approximately 900,000 temperature profile not available in
- its predecessor, WOD05, as well as modern and historical data for all the other variables.
- All data are available on-line.
- Previous releases of this databases series and products based on these databases have proven invaluable to the scientific  community.
- CDMP funding contributed substantially to the production of WOD05.

## FY09 Tasks

- Digitizing ocean profile data from manuscripts.
- 	Data are nearly all in the form of printed tables and include quantities such as
- 	temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, chlorophyll, tracers... as a function
- 	of depth. Manuscript data are being received on a continuing basis.
- Performing quality control on the digitized data using NODC/OCL software.
- 	NODC/OCL has developed standard procedures and software for quality
- 	control of data. When problems are identified contractors working with
- 	NODC staff will need to investigate and develop corrective actions if possible.
- Converting oceanographic data received in electronic form at NODC and
- 	its co-located World Data Center for Oceanography into a form suitable for
- 	 merging into the *“World Ocean* *Database*”. Quality control these data.

## Reaction Plane Physics in PHENIX at RHIC-BNL 

- Benjamin Norman
- Hubert van Hecke, Gerd J. Kunde

- 7 Feb 05

## Reaction Plane (RP) Definition

_**What we measure:**_
- Particle distributions
- in coordinate space
- (*due to momentum *
*space anisotropy*)

- 7 Feb 05

## Physics Motivation (I)

- The PHENIX ***M***ultiplicity ***V***ertex ***D***etector allows significantly improved RP resolution either alone or in combination with other subsystems: better v1, v2 determination

**v****2**** 3-50% **

**v****1**** 6-55% **

**Phobos 200 GeV Preliminary**

- 7 Feb 05

## Physics Motivation (II)

- v2 of J/ is an important probe of charm production mechanisms & dynamics

- Cannot get J/
- v2 without RP!

- 7 Feb 05

## Measurement with the MVD

- The MVD is currently configured as a silicon pad detector covering a 1.8<||<2.6 for collisions at z==0.  Effective  range (with vertex smearing) is 1.1<||<3.3 .

- 7 Feb 05

## Procedure – Good channel selection

- Tool for eliminating dead/noisy channels:   **population ******** <#hits/pad/event>**

- 7 Feb 05

## Procedure (ii) – Correcting the Q vector

-  RP definition from data:

- # of events vs. RP and Centrality after good pad selection; significant acceptance bias remains.

******2**

- 7 Feb 05

## Simulation results (i):  Sub-Event Correlation

**Simulation results (i):  Sub-Event Correlation**

-  2N and 2S show good correlation to the eye:

******2S**** vs ********2N**

******2S**** - ********2N**

- 7 Feb 05

## Simulation Results (ii):  v2 Resolution

- True RP resolution = <cos(n(-true))>
- In real data, approximate by √(2<cos(n(N-S))>), i.e. √2<cos(n(N/s-true))>

- MVD hits

- 7 Feb 05

## Conclusion

- MVD performance well understood
- MVD reaction plane has best resolution of any *single* subsystem in PHENIX – dramatically enhanced resolution *in combination* with other subsystems.
- Path length dependence of J/ in medium (v2, etc)
- Other PHENIX-wide analyses requiring an RP
- MVD can produce physics results (v1/2 vs ) in stand-alone operation.

- 7 Feb 05

## Procedure (iii) – Shifting correction

-  Any remaining bias is corrected by a Fourier decomposition / shift:

- 7 Feb 05

## Simulation Framework

- Throw isotropic true

- Throw # hits according to AuAu200 data

- Distribute hits according to interpolated v1, v2

- Apply acceptance from AuAu200 data

- Flatten NS

- Recenter / Normalize X,Y

- Calculate N,S from hits in acceptance
