[ASA] Call for Magellan Proposals in Semester 2015B

[Australian Gemini Office]

      2015B Call for Magellan Proposals


Proposals for Australian access to the Magellan telescopes for Semester 
2015B (mid-July 2015 - mid-Jan 2016) are due by:

*5:00pm AEST on **Friday 10 April 2015*

(A separate call for Gemini and Subaru proposals in Semester 2015B with 
a 31 March 2015 deadline was issued earlier - please see 
http://ausgo.aao.gov.au/cfp.html).

There will likely be a single MegaCam f/5 block in Sep/Oct 2015, as well 
as a single adaptive optics MagAO run of about 30 nights in Dec 2015. In 
order to assist the scheduling of any approved MegaCam or AO proposals, 
*any PI planning to apply for observing time with MegaCam or MagAO in 
2015B should send an e-mail before 27 March* to ausgo at aao.gov.au with a 
short (1-2 paragraph) summary of your project and some indication of the 
RA distribution of your objects.

In recent semesters demand for instruments mounted on the Clay telescope 
has significantly exceeded that for instruments on the Baade telescope. 
Applicants are encouraged to consider whether their science might also 
be possible using the instruments on Baade (IMACS, FourStar, FIRE), 
should their preferred instrument on Clay not be available due to 
scheduling constraints.

Complete information about all Magellan instrumentation on offer, travel 
funding, and the application procedure is available at 
http://ausgo.aao.gov.au/magellan.html. For any enquiries about 
Australian usage of Magellan please contact the AAO's International 
Telescopes Support Office (ausgo at aao.gov.au).
