Introduction

We are holding a Hector busy week on 10th – 14th Feb, 2025. It will be held at the University of Sydney. The main points of focus for the meeting will be:

• Discussion on metric for best cube for repeated observations of the same galaxy. Plus planning on combining multiple cubes.
• Science with HI – now DINGO has data in G23.
• Check in on who is targeting the highest priority science with the new Hector data release.
• Completion of the Hector DR and Hector main papers ready to submit to PASA.
• Strategy discussion on prioritisation of targets, opening up new fields, strategies for getting z’s ahead. Science justifications of completeness levels.
• Progress update on key parameter measurements needed by the team: MGE multicomponent fitting bulge-disk , basic kinematic parameters etc.
• TS discussion on Hector catalogue release.
• Simulations: get Sims WG active.
• Discussion on keeping the Hector DC cloud storage well structured, and clean, plus discussion on what will be stored on Andromache vs DC cloud.
