Science Program 2011B

A total of 304 proposals were received for the 2011 February 1 submission deadline for Semester 2011B.

The tables below list the approved observing programs for Semester 2011B for the Expanded Very Large Array, for the Very Long Baseline Array and High Sensitivity Array, and for the Green Bank Telescope. The following is provided for each approved program: PI name, proposal ID, proposal title, total hours allocated, and proposal type (Regular or Triggered or Large). For Large proposals or monitoring proposals the time allocated may be over more than one semester. For each approved program, the Proposal Finder Tool will have access to its authors, title, abstract, and approved hours.

Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA)

To maximize EVLA Early Science, while simultaneously commissioning the hardware and introducing new capabilities, three separate observing routes were created. They are, in brief: (1) Open Shared Risk Observing (OSRO) which provides first-light EVLA capabilities to the general user community; (2) Resident Shared Risk Observing (RSRO) which provides access to enhanced EVLA capabilities to those who are able to spend time in Socorro to help with commissioning; and (3) an EVLA Commissioning Staff Observing (ECSO) route giving commissioning staff access to the telescope to push new science capabilities.
