Dear JCMT user

The East Asian Observatory is happy to invite PI observing proposals for
semester 23B at the JCMT. Proposal submission is via the JCMT proposal
handling system, Hedwig. For full details, and for proposal submission,
please see:

https://proposals.eaobservatory.org/

*The 23B Call for Proposals closes on the 16th of March, 2023 (2023-03-16
01:00 UT).*

If this is your first time using Hedwig, you should ‘Log in’ and generate
an account. There is a Hedwig ‘Help’ facility at the upper right corner of
each page, and individual Help tags in many other places. Please contact us
at helpdesk en eaobservatory.org if you have remaining questions.
Hours available

The median award of hours to successful program is 14 hours. This ranges to
fewer hours in Grades 1-3 due to pressure and weather availability and more
in Grade 4/5. Awards range in hours from 1-80 hours in total.
Instrumentation availability

Namakanui is expected to be unavailable for 3-4 weeks in August due to
receiver work – proposals making use of HARP in Grades 4-5 are particularly
encouraged for RA’s available in August.
23B RA Pressure

Proposers might be interested to note the proposal pressure in terms of RA
and DEC. The figure below shows the distribution of target RA proposed in
the past under Semester B. When allocating time the TAC is mindful to
ensure that time is awarded across a range of RAs.

Weather

Proposers should also be mindful of the historical fraction of time in each
weather Grade <https://www.eaobservatory.org/jcmt/observing/weather-bands/> in
particular noting the wide variation in ours per weather Grade obtained in
any one semester.

 The Expanding Partner Program

PIs from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Brazil and
Argentina requesting <15 hours will be automatically approved*** for time
under the “Expanding Partner Program” – a program to encourage astronomers
from new JCMT partners to make use of the JCMT.

*** approval reliant upon the program being technically feasible, without
clashing with existing proprietary data (as per observatory
requirements), dependent
on weather/instrument pressures and with adjustments in line with
recommendations by the TAC. Under the “Expanding Partner Program” priority
will be given to new users of the JCMT.
Aloha
Harriet (on behalf of the observatory)
