Description
Discussion on CTA Top Level Use Cases.
First day: discussion on science-related use cases
Second day: discussion on observatory-related use cases
LOC: Valentina Fioretti, Vito Conforti, Andrea Bulgarelli
The CTA Observatory is an open Observatory serving multiple types of scientific users, including Guest Observers, Archive Users, and members of the CTA Consortium.
The Use Cases are divided into two categories:
• Science-related use cases: the goal is to understand how to perform an observation with a specific scientific objective. The focus of each Use Case is the science and the operations to perform science. The purpose is to find an agreement between scientists and engineers in term of content and language and to understand the workflow to realize scientific objectives. The starting point of this work is the main scientific requirements of CTA.
• Observatory-related use cases: the goal is to understand how to serve scientific users and ToO observations with conflicting scientific objectives; The Observatory-related use cases will describe how to perform observations with the CTA Observatory from a user point of view, with conflicting scientific objectives. (e.g. Submit a proposal, Review a proposal, Prepare an Observation Programme, Execute a Programme, Manage ToOs, etc.)
The main purpose is to discuss the new science-related use cases (with respect to the Paris meeting), include comment on already existing science-related use cases and discuss on observatory-related use cases.
For this meeting the following steps need to happen:
1) People need to let Sera, Andrea and Fabian know if they are interested in participating in this new round of UC’s. If you cannot attend Bologna please try to participate remotely.
2) Register to the Indico page for Bologna
3) Once we know who is interested we will ask who wants to work on each UC, and form small working groups under a coordinator. Ideally ~5 UC’s chosen for the exercise.
4) The coordinator of each group will make sure work on the UC (see template and older UC’s for guidance)
5) Interim progress telecon where coordinators report to the group
6) Bologna: 1 hour per UC, 10 minute presentation of UC by coordinator followed by general discussion.

The first 8 science-related use-cases are now on Jama:
1. UC-SCI-001: Long Term Monitoring of AGN
2. UC-SCI-002: Perform an AGN Snapshots
3. UC-SCI-003: Observe a transient discovered with RTA (Real- Time Analysis)
4. UC-SCI-004: Observe a ToO following an alert from gravitational wave observatories
5. UC-SCI-005: Observe a ToO following an alert from high-energy neutrino telescopes
6. UC-SCI-006: Observe a GRB after external alerts
7. UC-SCI-007: Observe an XRB/gamma binary from external alert
8. UC-SCI-008: Perform a Survey of a region
