This discussion focuses on the enhancement of the HIPSS database for multi-station IPS data. We invite queries, comments, and suggestions regarding the existing metadata parameters and potential additions. We seek input on the necessary structural improvements and wish to assess current software tools like Aber, EISCAT, and MEXART for integration possibilities. Collaboration opportunities are open for those interested in contributing to this goal, including funding suggestions. Important features include comprehensive metadata, time series, and cross spectra data from all participating sites.

IPS Database discussion agenda • Queries, clarifications, comments, suggestions or feedback on all aspects of HIPSS • What the database should look like for the multi-station IPS – suggestions? • Is the current set of meta-data parameters sufficient? Anything else anyone would like to see included? • Software Version No. etc. (Tokumaru San) • An assessment of the software available/in use across the institutions, esp. from a perspective of identifying pieces which can potentially be borrowed, and modified and/or integrated into this system - Aber/EISCAT, MEXART, Ooty, STELab, UCSD. • Is someone else willing to contribute effort towards the IPS DB goal, esp. for multi-station aspects. • Any suggestions for funding opportunities for support of this effort?
The HDF5 database for Multi-station IPS data • Scan • Must include meta-data & data from all the participating sites/telescopes • Need to add keyword(s) • No. of participating sites, their locations, physical baselines, projected baselines • Level 1 data • Time series + flagging info. from each of the participating telescopes • Level 2 data • Series of cross spectra for all baselines + the average cross spectra • Level 3 data • Results of a fiducial model fit
Overall structure • IPS DB • Single station data • MEXART • MWA • Ooty • Multi-station data • EISCAT • LOFAR • STELab • Separate Scans table for Single and Multi station data ? • Needs more thought
