The PATT, JMU and CAT Time Allocation Committees (TACs) have issued Calls For Proposals to observe with the LT in Semester 2021A, which runs from 1st January 2021 to 31st August 2021 inclusive.

As always, you may also apply for Reactive Time and Priority Z Time outside of these semester-based applications, at any time throughout the year.

FRODOSpec and IO:I

Due to reliability issues and travel restrictions currently preventing maintenance visits to the telescope, IO:I and FRODOspec will not be offered in semester 2021A.

PATT Applications
