Release of the legacy version of the Herschel Science Archive (HSA v9.0)

A new version (v9.0) of the Herschel Science Archive (HSA) was released on 22 May 2018, and patched to 9.0.1 on 19 June 2018, which is the current version, offering two main new functionalities:

• A new Catalogue Query Tool, which allows complex queries on the main Herschel point source and spectral line catalogues through the VO-standard TAP (Table Access Protocol).
• A new instance of the former Herschel Publications Tool, now fully integrated into the archive user interface to facilitate its long-term preservation which allows users to make all kind of queries on the database of refereed publications linked to Herschel observations.

Together with some other minor implementation changes, this version constitutes the 'legacy' version of the Herschel Science Archive, this is, no more development is foreseen at the user interface level, although it is expected that its contents will still continue growing with the ingestion of new UPDPs and HPDPs at least until the end of the year.

The full details of what's new in this version can be found at:

"Velocity-resolved far-infrared imaging spectroscopy of the future: A symposium honoring Paul F Goldsmith", to be held on 18-19 October 2018, Observatoire de Paris - Second Announcement

The development of heterodyne spectroscopy enabled our exploration of the molecular universe and the formation processes of stars and habitable worlds. The opening of the far-infrared spectrum to high resolution heterodyne spectroscopy by space observatories such as SWAS, Odin, and Herschel has provided important insights on the role of critical tracers such as water and molecular oxygen, while also highlighting C+ as a unique probe of the evolving dense interstellar medium.

In this symposium, we will honor the seminal contributions made by Paul F. Goldsmith, focusing on the bright future of high resolution studies of the dense interstellar medium in our galaxy and in the local universe.

The Second Announcement has been issued. There is still room for electronic posters, particularly for young researchers.

Registration form, deadline 30 July 2018, and additional details can be found on the meeting website:

SOFIA Cycle 7 Call for Proposals Released 

The SOFIA project has released two calls for proposals (CfP) for observing time in the Cycle 7.

The regular call solicits proposals of any size and combination of instruments. A complementary call for proposals for "SOFIA Legacy Programs" (SLP) has also been released, soliciting large coherent programs aimed at high-impact science that also have a significant promise of valuable archival data sets. Programs up to 100 hours of observing time are solicited in this category. In addition to observing time, these programs are invited to deliver higher level data products (including supporting data, software and theory).

Full details can be found at:
https://www.sofia.usra.edu/science/proposing-and-observing/proposal-calls/cycle-7

The proposal submission deadline is: 7 September 2018 (9 p.m. PDT)
