[ASA] GPI Early Science call

[Australian Gemini Office]

The call for Early Science programs using the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) 
is now open, with full information posted at 
http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/gpi/gpi-early-science/call-proposals. 
Proposals for shared-risk observations are due February 28 2014, for 
execution in queue mode during 20-26 April. This call represents an 
accelerated opportunity for the Gemini community to begin to use the 
instrument. It is also intended to exercise the instrument with a 
variety of observing programs and demonstrate to the community, through 
interesting and challenging science programs, the unique capabilities of 
GPI on Gemini South. Commissioning is not yet complete, so performance 
information is preliminary and may not represent the final capability of 
GPI. Questions about the instrument capabilities can be directed to 
Fredrik Rantakyro (frantaky at gemini.edu <mailto:frantaky at gemini.edu>).

A new 2014A PIT (2014.1.2) to support the GPI early science call has been released (http://www.gemini.edu/node/12126) and must be used for GPI early science (select "Other Proposal Types" and "System Verification" in the Proposal Class and the Proposal Type fields respectively), as well as for 2014A poor weather and director's time proposals.
