NRAO Call for Proposals: Semester 2020B
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) invites scientists to participate in the Semester 2020B Call for Proposals for the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), High Sensitivity Array (HSA), and Global 3mm VLBI Array (GMVA).
The submission deadline for Semester 2020B proposals is Monday, 3 February 2020, at 17:00 EST (22:00 UTC).
Proposal preparation and submission are handled via the NRAO Proposal Submission Tool (PST) available at NRAO Interactive Services. Proposers who need assistance with proposal preparation or have questions regarding the Call for Proposals or NRAO telescope capabilities should contact Observatory staff via the NRAO Helpdesk. Note that using these tools (both the PST and the Helpdesk) requires registration.
ALMA Cycle 8 Pre-announcement
The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) will start the next cycle of observations (Cycle 8) in October 2020. A Call for Proposals (CfP) with detailed information on Cycle 8 will be issued in March 2020 and the deadline for proposal submission will be in April 2020. This pre-announcement highlights aspects of the Cycle 8 CfP to assist with early planning. Please visit the full pre-announcement website for more information.
Semester 2020A Proposal Outcomes
The NRAO has completed the Semester 2020A proposal review and time allocation process for the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). For the VLA, 193 new proposals were received, including three large and twenty-eight time critical (triggered) proposals. For the VLBA 33 new proposals were submitted. Read more…
Low-pressure LSTs on the VLA: Exploratory DDT Proposals Encouraged
The VLA has seen lower demand for LSTs in the range of ~ 20 to 24 hours. This is true for the current D-configuration, as can be seen in the weekly plot of pressure vs. LST for projects in the dynamic queue. We are therefore expecting time at these LSTs to become available toward the end of the current D configuration, potentially continuing into semester 2020A. Read more…
