Aurora is an established supplier of skilled manpower to ESA and in particular at ESTEC and ESAC. Aurora has the opportunity to expand our support within the Science and Robotic Exploration Directorate DSRE. Aurora currently has a team of 18 engineers and scientists at ESAC including support to Herschel. Overview The Herschel Space Observatory was launched in May 2009. It performed astronomical photometry and spectroscopy in the far infrared and submillimetre 57 670 micron wavelength range. Its scientific payload consisted of three instruments using a variety of detector technologies developed by Principal Investigator teams at various institutions, predominantly in Europe but with a significant contribution from the US. The majority of its observing time was provided to the general user community, via annual Calls for Proposals. Since May 2013, the Herschel spacecraft has had no liquid helium coolant remaining to allow the science instruments on board to operate, hence regular operations have ceased and the spacecraft has been placed into a nonreturning Solar orbit. In the ongoing postoperations phase, the Herschel Science Centre HSC, located at ESAC, is, inter alia, responsible for supporting data analysis improvements, oversight of the calibration and crosscalibration of the science instruments, and the generation of standard science products and their quality assessment as final Herschel archive products. All observational data has been systematically processed to generate these products that are distributed to the astronomical community via the Herschel Science Archive HSA, developed and maintained at ESAC. With the complete set of data from mission operations now in hand it is possible to further improve the calibration and data products in the archive. For this service, the incumbent is expected to perform the following service tasks. The priorities of each task and the level to which they are performed will depend on the needs of the observatory plus the capabilities of the successful candidates. to understand the general workings of the PACS andor SPIRE science instruments of Herschel, sufficient to be able to answer general community questions become responsible for the documentation of the PACS or SPIRErelated elements of the Herschel Explanatory Supplement and data processing documentation. to become expert in understanding the post operations development of one of the PACS photometerspectrometer or SPIRE photometer instruments answer helpdesk questions on instrument operations and data products associated with either the PACS or SPIRE instruments participate in assessing and updating calibration information and its use in the standard processing pipelines to participate in data processing workshops and work with users in understanding how to handle their Herschel PACS or SPIRE science data to participate in acceptance testing of new software as it relates to the PACS or SPIRE pipeline products and associated data processing software to participate in crosscalibration checks of the Herschel science data as needed perform data quality checking of problematic observations, as needed potentially be involved in the formulation of extended processing and data products of the Herschel Science Centre for the Herschel Science Archive. conduct science research based on Herschel data.
