PATT & JMU TAC Semester 2019A Calls for Proposals 10 September 2018

The Liverpool Telescope TAC has issued Calls for Proposals from the PATT and JMU TACs for observations beginning in Semester 2019A, which runs from 1st January 2019 to 31 August 2019 inclusive.

Don't forget that you may also apply for Reactive Time and PriorityZ Time at any time throughout the year.

PATT applications

The deadline for submission of PATT proposals is 23:59 GMT on Tuesday 9th October 2018.

PATT accepts proposals from Principal Investigators (PIs) based in the UK.

Non-UK PIs who are not eligible for CAT, OPTICON or CCI time may also apply through PATT.

After accounting for 20 hours set aside for Reactive Time proposals, and 5 hours pre-allocated at the last TAC meeting, there are 275 hours available to be allocated for PATT in semester 2019A. Time is allocated approximately in the ratio 1:1 between Priority A and B. In addition 90 hours will be available as Priority C (backup). Applications are particularly encouraged for brighter sky conditions, which are typically less subscribed.

Full details of the Call for Proposals are available for download as a PDF file from here [CallForProposals-PATT-19A.pdf]. The file gives more information about the proposal process, reactive time applications, new and existing instruments, and the telescope's performance and rapid-response capabilities.

JMU applications

The deadline for submission of JMU proposals is 23:59 GMT on Tuesday 9th October 2018.

The internal JMU TAG accepts proposals from Principal Investigators (PIs) from Liverpool John Moores University's Astrophysics Research Institute.

After accounting for 48 hours pre-allocated in previous rounds, and 9 hours set aside for Reactive Time proposals, there are 243 hours available to be allocated. Time is allocated approximately in the ratio 1:1 between Priority A and B. In addition 90 hours will be available as Priority C (backup). Applications are particularly encouraged for brighter sky conditions, which are typically less subscribed.
