- I want to say that there is a question on the Q and A tool that received a lot of interest. I'll try to ask it at some point, it's probably irrelevant for Gary. But now let's listen from a David Ciardi who'll give us an update on next slide. And again, I will give you two minutes warning before the end of your talk--

- Can you guys hear me?

- Yes.

- And then can you see the slides?

- Yes.

- Well, all right. Guess it all worked. Okay. Hi. For those of you don't know me, I'm David Ciardi. I am the chief scientist at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute which is the science center arm of the Exoplanet Exploration Program. And so you probably know us through the variety of things that we do, including The Segan Program and The Community Support, The Exponent Archive and The ExoFOP, from the Longterm Archives, both old and new ones coming such as such as archiving the acute data. Keck Operations and The Archive. And we are also the pipeline environment and the archive for NEID, which John Callis just described. So this talk is actually relatively short. Trying to just give some updates that give this talk basically at every EXoPAG. And so we're going to try to give some updates as to things of importance that came up over the last year and a few items that are coming up. And so this talk is given by me, but it's really the whole team at NExScI who have done the work. So the first set of items I want to discuss is through the science affairs highlights and Dawn Gelino who's also the deputy director at NExScI and is also the leads of this section of NExScI. They held the second workshop last July. It seems like that was like a year and a half ago, but unbelievably, it was only six months ago and it was a fully online virtual virtual workshop on circumstellar disks and young planets. And it had over 800 people participating over the span of those five days. And it's the largest summit workshop in the history. Clearly because of the virtual-ness of the event at the time. 2022 is aimed to be a hybrid workshop at the end of July. This year's topic is Exoplanet Science and The Gaia Era. We are all keenly aware of how Gaia is affecting all areas of our science and Exoplanets is no exception both from the characterization of the stars, but also in terms of detection of the astronomical motion of motion of the planets themselves. So there's a URL there if you want to learn more about it and it is intended at this point to be a hybrid, both in-person on campus with an online virtual component. Also this past fall was the 2022A Keck Time. This was the first dual anonymous proposal review process for the Keck Time. The subscription rate was almost five to one and it was the highest number of new proposers ever. And on the right here, two graphs showing the success rate and submission rate of the proposals. This is based on names so it's not strictly demographic data, but our best guess as to what might be male versus female. And you can see that the success rate of the program actually has been very even between the genders for most of the lifetime of the proposals. So that's a really great thing to see coming out of the Keck process. They also selected four NASA Keck Key strategic mission proposals. And these are large programs that specifically support NASA space missions and the subscription rate for this was almost six to one. And then just as a reminder, it's already starting to be mid January. That means that proposals for the next semester are due in two months and the details of the call will become live in approximately a month. If you have any specific questions, I can try to answer them. But also I believe Dawn is on the line. The Keck Observatory Archive. So as part of our working with W-M-K-O and managing the NASA Keck Time, NExScI was responsible for the archive at KOA. And one of the big efforts that KOA has been working on in the past over the past year is a new suite of pipeline tools to enable public and private data and calibration data to be accessed, searched for and accessed through PyKOA. So one of the interesting things about PyKOA is it allows you to handle the proprietary access for the exclusive use period for the data that are in the archive. And of course, all public data are fully accessible through the TAP client. Either through IRSA or TOPCAT or PyVO or TAP+ And there's a URL there where they have gone through some examples of how to use PyKOA to help the community be able to use that. They're also working on real-time ingestion for newly acquired data. So currently the way that the archive works is the data collected, they're stored on local desktop at the observatory and then they are transferred to the archive. And that usually happens within the span of 24 hours. They are working on a process to transfer the data immediately into the archive and recent tests that graphs on the right shows that data from Collection to Ingestion into KOA is mostly under the span of 30 seconds. And the point of doing this is to provide access to the data to the users, but also with an eye towards W-M-K-O and NExScI are developing what's called the Data Services Initiative. It's to enable a more interactive environment for the users of the observatory at the telescope. Also, there was a KOA user survey that was released recently. If you want more information, please contact us. I don't believe Bruce Berryman is on the line, but feel free to contact us or call in directly. We are also responsible for the Stellar and Solar Data coming out of NEID. So in John's previous talk previous to mine, he discussed that NEID is online and being used by the community. There's also the Solar Data Channel. All of that data is available is processed at NExScI through the, using the team's pipelines and made available through the NEID archive. The data include the broad spectrum, of course, but also the extracted spectra and the derived radial velocities. And approximately 90% of all the data is processed and in the archive within 24 hours of the collection. So the point of the data is that the data are taken and then they're made available either to the PIs or to the community the following day. Similar to PyKOA, there is a Python package for searching and extracting data is called pyNEID. You can see the theme and what we're doing here and naming our Python packages. And so that's available for download. And as John described in his previous talk that the data are looking really excellent with average, you know, better than a meter per second, on the standard stars and starting to meet the requirements of the instrument. Oh, I'm sorry. I should've said, I apologize. BJ Fulton is the NExScI Project Scientist. BJ is clearly an RV expert. And if you have any questions about the data or the processing of the archive, feel free to contact BJ in this forum. I'm not sure that BJ is on today. I can also try to answer any questions that you may have. Apologize for not introducing BJ at the beginning of the slide. One of the other big projects that next side is responsible for is the Exoplanet Archive. I'm sure many of you are familiar with this. Jessie Christiansen who is on the line, that I do not forget this time to introduce is the Archived Lead Scientist. So if you have any specific questions, I'm sure she'll be happy to address them, or I can just do as well. We ended 2021 with 4,884 planets and over 32,000 different parameter sets for those 4,800 planets. Last year was the largest number of confirmed Exoplanets than any other previous year. Except for the two years that the Big Giant Capital Papers came out in 2014, 2016. And excitingly as a community, we are approaching 5,000 confirmed Exoplanets. And so with each year, the number of Exoplanets being confirmed and studied and characterized by the community continues to grow. And towards that end, we're trying to improve the accessibility to the archive holdings. We've started to migrate all of our tables to the VO based TAP service. So our big tables, the planetary systems, the planetary systems deposit parameter data, those are all behind. They're all backed up by the TAP service. And we've worked with the community and we've updated the Astro Query Python packages to support the new TAP services for these new tables in replacement for the older tables that were retired. We also created released a new K2 Planets and Candidates table. This table replaces an older K2 Candidates table that K2 Candidates table only had candidates in it and some candidates were not, were never published as candidates, they were only published as confirmed planets and therefore this table wasn't complete. And so we revamped it and now it's sort of more like what you would expect for like the Kepler Objects of Interest table, except now it's for the K2 Planets and Candidates. So it has all the planets and candidates and false positives that have been identified by K2. And it is also in front of the TAP service. And just--

- [Ilaria] David, you have one minute.

- Okay. Let me move on next to the last slide. And as are following us on Twitter begins to grow. Oops! There we go. The ExoFOP continues to service the TESS mission and the community. Just as a reminder, we're trying to close out the three portals, Kepler and K2 and make it into one full fledged portal for all of the follow-up. And that's in progress. We've improved our Python and data access services and you can also receive a daily email log of what has been uploaded to the ExoFOP and to sign up for that email log. And then finally, if I can get to the last slide, if it will shift, oops, there it goes. We do have two job openings if you're interested in joining the team. They're not strictly science-related, but we have an ad out for a System Administrator and a Science Data Analyst. Thank you.

- Okay. Thank you very much David, for this comprehensive update, there is a question on the Q and A tool that you might be able to answer although it was submitted before. But this is, "Do the data from the exploratory and an Explorer telescope time and foreign facilities. For instance, Demina Australis go public straight away or is there a proprietary period?"

- So there's a exclusive use period but it's very similar to what, because the time is through the NOIR Lab, it's part of our partnership with the NSF and NOIR Lab. It has a standard exclusive use period as if you were applying to like Gemini time port of the four beater time. And we have agreements that eventually the data will get archived at the EXoFOP once the exclusive use period is over.

- Okay. Thank you very much, David--

- And feel free to email any one of us if you have any direct questions.
