PROPOSALS FOR IRAM TELESCOPES

Summer 2009 Ratings

The IRAM program committee convened in Granada on April 20 and 21 to discuss the proposals submitted for the summer 2009 scheduling period. The committee was chaired by Josep Miquel Girart (CSIC-IEEC, Barcelona) and Eckhard Sturm (MPE, Garching). The principal investigators of each proposal will be informed by letter which will include comments issued by the committee if there are any. As usual, the proposals were classified A (accepted), B (backup), and C (rejected).

Plateau de Bure Interferometer Proposals

A total of 87 proposals were received for the interferometer, including 2 proposals that were submitted in the "Large Program" category. Proposals rated A (among those is one Large Program) will be scheduled in priority. Further time, if it becomes available, will go to the B programs, taking into account scientific merit, crowding in certain right ascension ranges and general aspects of balance.

For proposals rated A or B which do not have an IRAM internal collaborator, please consult the list of local contacts. The accepted proposals are listed here.

30m telescope

We received 134 proposals for the 30m telescope, including one in the category of Large Programs, which requested a total of 4698 hours of telescope time. Another 204.7 hours were requested by 13 interferometer proposals for short spacing observations. The highest rating "A" was given to 33 proposals, among which there is the new Large Program. 74 proposals were rated "B", i.e. were given backup status. The remaining proposals, although scientifically valuable in most cases, were rated "C". The individual ratings are listed in the table below. All A-rated proposals will be scheduled on the telescope, although some with less time than requested. We expect that about half of the B-rated programs will actually be scheduled. The selection will take into account scientific merit, crowding in certain right ascension ranges, and general aspects of balance. Proposals rated "C" will not get telescope time.

The accepted proposals are listed here. The short spacing proposals will be scheduled on the 30m if they get observed at Bure.
