LBTB call for proposals 2012A
Call for proposals for the LBT spring semester 2012
AIP Observing Time at the LBT
The German partners in the Large Binocular Telescope have been allocated a total of 30 nights for the 2012 spring semester. The preliminary schedule mentions the folling periods: Mar.13-18, Apr.18-23, May 23-28, and Jun.22-27 to which another 6 night run will be added, most likely in the end of February. The AIP share is 4 nights. The optical multi-object spectrograph MODS-I will be offered in the one-eyed mode. The near-IR imager and multi-object spectrograph LUCIFER-I is expected to be offered in the one-eyed mode pending the succesful replacement of the detector, and the wide field optical prime focus imager LBC will be offered in the two-eyed mode.
- Please find here the AIP Call for Proposals
- Applications by AIP affiliates should be submitted to the e-mail address: lbtprop@aip.de
Deadline for applications: 8:00AM, Wednesday, December 14, 2011
- The proposals will be evaluated by the AIP LBT Time Allocation Committee (TAC)
- Further information about the LBT, the instruments, Mt. Graham etc can be found on the LBTO Science and Operations webpage.
- Phase II preparations for accepted proposals for the LBT includes a clear description of the observations to be carried out, LUCIFER scripts or LBC Observing Blocks, and the preparation of an ASCII file containing the primary constraints (coordinates, seeing, cloudiness, time constraints, etc). Note that MOS observations require MOS masks to be produced well in advance of the observing run, so data for producing the masks should be made available before Jan.20, 2012.
- The Phase II material should be send to the e-mail address: lbtprop@aip.de as a gzipped tar-file.
