EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE AND IMPACT Sample Clauses

EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE AND IMPACT. Interest in the e-VLBI infrastructure & Impact The e-VLBI infrastructure that we plan to create has many advantages over the current EVN array. These have been presented in section 1. By the end of the 3-year EXPReS programme, we expect that a substantial fraction of EVN users will have taken advantage of the new capabilities e-VLBI will provide. Currently the total number of users given access to the EVN in a typical year is 300. Of these 300 about half are affiliated to the EVN institutes and the other half are external users. The latter are mainly located in Europe, USA, Australia, and Japan. The EVN is widely recognised as one of Europe’s major research infrastructures. Access to the EVN for external, European astronomers, has been funded by the EC’s Transnational Access Programme since FP3 (1992). This programme of support has continued across FP4, FP5 and most recently FP6 – as part of the RadioNet I3 collaboration. We expect a significant increase in the astronomical community’s interest in using the European VLBI Network if it is able to provide a real-time capability. In particular, the ability of an e-VLBI array to conduct Target of Opportunity observations will be an important advantage in attracting additional users. The ability of the e-VLBI infrastructure to deliver immediate results will make it unique in VLBI, and we can expect significant interest in this new potential capability. An additional factor in this area is that we also expect Target of Opportunity projects to become more frequent, especially with the recent and successful launch of the NASA SWIFT observatory. This is equipped with several instruments that make it an ideal observatory for the detection of a variety of transient astrophysical sources, and we can expect that some fraction of these will also result in the generation of prompt and compact radio emission. We expect the results that are obtained via the proposed e-VLBI infrastructure will have most impact within the international astronomy community. As is the case for EVN results, new knowledge obtained form the e-VLBI array will be published in peer-review astronomical journals, including Astronomy & Astrophysics, Astrophysical Journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society etc. Outstanding results (often associated with transient events) are likely to be published in journals such as Nature and Science. We will also expect astronomers to present their results at various international meetings, conference...
