To exploit the full capabilities of NOEMA, proposals must be written
with special care. It is of the utmost importance to provide the
following parameters:
- A source list with accurate coordinates, velocities/redshifts
- Observing frequencies
- A source list with velocities and line width for spectral line
observations
- Required spatial and spectral resolution, and estimate of
required sensitivity
- For special cases: Required accuracy of the bandpass calibration
(e.g., a weak line on a strong continuum, high precision relative
astrometry)
- Dates to be avoided during scheduling, e.g., because of sun avoidance
(a circle of 32 degree radius), phase stability requirements (daytime
is often difficult in summer), or other reasons (specify)
- Any other stringent constraint (e.g. coordinated or triggered
observations); please note that we currently guarantee a trigger
response of three days
This information is absolutely required to decide about
the feasibility of the program, a prerequisite before the program
committee can consider the proposal.
