[Alumnos] [NGO-Argentina] Announcing FLAMINGOS-2 Call for Proposals

[Oficina Gemini Argentina]

FLAMINGOS-2, the Gemini near-infrared imager and long-slit and 
multi-object spectrograph, is undergoing commissioning on the Gemini South 
telescope. We now invite the Gemini community to propose System 
Verification (SV) science programs for the imaging and long-slit 
spectroscopy modes.  The deadline for receipt of all proposals is Monday 
February 6, 2012, 23:59 UT.

Approximately 40 hours of telescope time is available for these 
near-infrared imaging and long-slit spectroscopy programs. The 
observations will be executed during bright-time during the first half of 
March, 2012.

System Verification will provide an end-to-end test of the new FLAMINGOS-2 
instrument, from the proposal process to the delivery of the data, in 
advance of offering the new capability to the community for general use. 
Therefore, it is a "shared risk" observing mode, and incurs responsibility 
on the successful proposers to provide feedback to the observatory in a 
timely fashion. SV data also have a shortened proprietary period.

The complete call for proposals is posted at

An announcement regarding SV for the multi-object spectroscopy mode will 
come later.
