[ASA] Australia Telescope National Facility call for proposals

[Edwards, Phil (CASS, Marsfield)]

Dear Colleagues,



CSIRO invites proposals for observing time for the 2020OCT semester (October 2020 to March 2021).

Proposals can be submitted for observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA),

Parkes 64-m telescope, Tidbinbilla 70-m and 34-m antennas, and the Long Baseline Array (VLBI).

The deadline for all proposals is 07:00 UT (17:00 AEST), Tuesday 16 June 2020.

Proposals must be submitted using the online proposal application system, OPAL (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/t_LCCxngwOfKGqzKH84qJF?domain=opal.atnf.csiro.au).



Important information on the current status of ATNF telescopes is provided at

https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Z0S2CyojxQTEjmpECMSONP?domain=atnf.csiro.au.

A section at the top of this webpage notes some important changes for the 2020OCT semester.

This includes a proposed rationalisation of the Parkes receiver fleet and decommissioning

of the 20cm multi-beam receiver in the coming semester.

Information is also provided on observing in the COVID-19 era.

Note that OPAL will now, in generating the full proposal, list an abbreviated version of the proposal team

at the end of the proposal as part of a trial to reduce unconscious bias during the review process.



Regards,

Phil Edwards

Program Director, Australia Telescope National Facility Science
