[AAA] Gemini Planet Imager Campaign Science Letters of Intent

[Oficina Gemini Argentina]

Dear Colleague,

The Gemini Observatory plans to announce a Call for Proposals for
Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) Campaign Science.  This message is a
request for letters of intent from prospective GPI campaign projects.
Please see the announcement at http://www.gemini.edu/node/11575 ,
which includes links to additional information.

GPI is a technologically advanced instrument designed specifically
for obtaining images and low-resolution spectra of faint objects or
features very near to bright objects.  While GPI's primary science
goal is the detection and characterization of exoplanets, its high
contrast capabilities will allow significant scientific advances in
such areas as circumstellar disks, stellar evolution and mass
transfer, fundamental stellar astrophysics including binaries, and
Solar System objects.  All areas are open to campaign science
proposals.

Letters of intent are due January 20, 2011, and should be sent to
Gemini Deputy Director/Head of Science Nancy Levenson
(nlevenson en gemini.edu).  We expect the final Call for Proposals to be
released February 1, 2011, with an anticipated deadline of March 31,
2011.
