Footnotes
The format for support codes is ....
F First night support will be provided
N No support will be provided at the telescope. The contact astronomer is listed.
Y Full support will be provided.
S Service mode or Director's time observations which will be carried out by AAO astronomers.
A An AAO astronomer is on the proposal and will provide their own support.
When more than one support astronomers initials appear, the first named astronomer is always the principal contact.
! Denotes change from previous version of the schedule.
a If MITLL3 is not available after 21st July this time reverts to A002 Sembach et al. (EEV)
b Program A019 hands over to A030 a maximum of 2hrs after sunset.
c In the event of unsurmountable technical difficulties with CIRPASS, this time reverts to IRIS2 + service observing.
d EEV to be mounted for SEMPOL setup. Daytime use of CCD Controller must be negotiated with 2dF observers.
N Runs require Nod and Shuffle
Over-ride Programs: see notes for conditions
6x3hrs A029 Price,SCHMIDT,Axelrod IRIS2 N,SDR
3hrs+5x2hrs A025 Palazzi, TINNEY, Pian, Nicastro, Masetti et al RGO,IRIS2,UCLES,TAURUS N,CGT

Schedule Notes

General Notes
    1. If the astronomer's name appears in parentheses then is not expected the astronomer will be present at the telescope, though the astronomer will be responsible for any other support required.
    2. In the case of 2dF, two support astronomers will often be listed. The FIRST name given is that of the primary support astronomer. The primary support astronomer should be the principal contact for all matter relating to this proposal, and is responsible for coordinating the provision of position files etc. The primary support astronomer is responsible for co-ordinating service observing.
    3. Support astronomers may be contacted at Email@aaoepp.aao.gov.au, where Email is the e-mail username in the following table.

Service & 2dF Observing

PATT will not usually pay T&S for proposals from UK astronomers allocated only one night, or UK astronomers allocated time on 2dF. It is therefore assumed that such awards will be carried out in service mode by the nominated support astronomer. If proposers are able to travel to the telescope using other funding, they should inform the relevant support astronomer and the Scheduler (sched@aaoepp.aao.gov.au) as soon as possible.

ATAC programs are required to send at least one, and not more than two, observers for their 2dF runs. PIs should inform the AAO through the usual travel channels of the proposed observers well in advance of their runs.

Half-nights, Quarter-nights etc.

Such nights are defined by appropriate fraction of the time between evening and morning astronomical twilight.

Over-ride Programs

Standard over-ride conditions (http://www.aao.gov.au/local/www/sll/applications/override.html) apply. Additional conditions include;

A029 – 6x3hrs over-ride, with the following conditions:

  1. The over-ride can only be invoked for IRIS2.
  2. Any single program can be over-ridden for a total of 3x1hr or 2x1.5hr per GRB.
  3. This program has priority over A025.
  4. Stuart Ryder (sdr) will act as the contact astronomer for this program.

A025 – 1x3hrs + 5x2hrs over-ride awarded with the following conditions:

  1. The over-ride may be invoked at any time for spectroscopy with IRIS2 or UCLES, but in grey or dark time only on the RGO Spectrograph or SPIRAL.
  2. In the event that A025 is triggered immediately subsequent to A029, such that any observing program loses more than 3 hours total to overrides, best efforts will be made to pay back the affected programs on the night of 26 January 2003. If no payback is due, then this night will be given over to ATAC IRIS2 service.
  3. Chris Tinney (cgt) will act as the contact astronomer for this program.
