ObservingProgramme
On these pages we summarise and coordinate our Photometric and Spectroscopic observing runs for the upcoming semesters. This page will be amended as more follow-up runs are scheduled.
2014B Observing Time Awarded
The total amounts of time awarded for each semester (so far) is given below. Note that these come from a variety of proposals and awards, submitted by a number of individuals. While these nights should be seen as in a sense pooled, the coordination of the different programmes will be the responsibility of the individual PI's.
| Telescope | 2014B | 2015A |
|---|---|---|
| Asiago | 30 n | - |
| ESO NTT | 5 n | 0 n |
| INT | 30 n | 3.5 n |
| LT | 170 h | 70 h |
| Mercator | 7 n | 7 n |
| SAAO | - | - |
| WHT | 15 n | 3.5 n |
| Loiano | 29n | - |
Observing Rota
Note that the UK-led runs can be supported by PATT for a maximum of two observers. The NL-led nights will be coordinated by *** and ***. There is **no** PATT funding available for these funds unless no one from the NL community can participate, in which case funding for one observer may be available (**TBD**).
