REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 2ND QUARTER 2004
E. TURNER/R. MCMILLAN 6/1/04
NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***
6/1 Note - Changes on 6/1, 6/5, 6/19 and 6/22 affecting only UW programs
and PU03. Also some post facto changes to reflect trades on dates
before this revision was issued.
4/1 Note - MANY changes, trades, assignments of OPEN time and so
forth. Anyone who has requested a schedule change or any OPEN
time should check to see what happened, and everyone else should
check to see if I made a mistake and did something to your time too.
Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate otherwise (a
minority of cases), observing time has again been scheduled in
half night blocks. NOTE, however, that there an unusually large
number of partial half night programs this quarter. Due to the short
nights at this time of year, these programs will have an unusually
large impact on the regular programs with which they share a given
half night.
Scheduled engineering time for this quarter consists of 13 half nights
and 4 partial half nights, including 6 half nights of summer shutdown
at the end of June. This constitutes 8.2% of the total observing time
for the quarter or 5.1% excluding the shutdown time.
In addition to scheduled engineering time, science observations
may be pre-empted, sometimes on short notice, for urgent
engineering tasks. Such tasks include both work that is required
to safeguard observatory personnel or facilities and that allows
"hot pursuit" of some significant problem.
Please see links off of the APO home page
(http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/) for a web based interactive version of
this schedule.
No unassigned DD time or OPEN time is available in this schedule.
-----
EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.
-----
EN01 = EN01 Gill ? O
Routine periodic engineering time
One and a fraction half nights planned lost to UW01 and CU03,
respectively.
EN02 = EN02 Skru CM O
CorMass commisioning & routine engineering
EN03 = EN03 Klae N/A O
Engineering & maintenance shutdown
-----
DD Note: Director's Discretionary Time (4.4% of total time)
-----
DD01 = 042DD01 Wood F O
Only 4 of the requested 6 half nights available this quarter.
DD02 = 042DD02 Skru CM O
Engineering & science observations with CorMass
-----
CU Note: 82% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
CU01 = CU01 Elli D R (rm+bl)
CU02 = CU02 Hear GS R
Dark & grey time scheduled; will also use some DD02 CM time
working with DD02 PI. One bright half night not scheduled.
CU03 = CU03 Stri SDG R (rh+bh)
Seven of 10 requested partial nights scheduled; strong conflict
with most heavily oversubscribed portion of the quarter.
CU04 = CU04 Dros E R
PI is not on the certified remote observer list, although not so
listed in the scheduling request. This needs to be straightened
out before the observations take place.
CU05 = CU05 Stri SDG R (rh+bh)
-----
JH note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
JH01 = 1 Glaz E O
TOO, not scheduled
JH02 = 2 Oliv E R
JH03 = 3 Gole D R (rm+bl)
JH04 = 4 Hebb G R
JH05 = 5 Venn E O
JH06 = 6 Venn D O
JH07 = 7 Goto D R (rm+bm?)
If blue medium grating actually required (blue low is generally
better), it should be confirmed with the Observing Specialist at
least 24 hrs in advance.
JH08 = 8 Hebb D R (rh+bh)
-----
NM note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
NM01 = NM01 Chan G R
Partial nights scheduled during 5/3-7, inclusive, are contingent on
the TBD feasibility of normal instrument changes with the visiting
CorMass instrument (EN02 & DD02). The NM01 PI will need to maintain
close contact with the CorMass PI and APO staff in this regard.
NM02 = NM02 Chan E O
April 26 scheduled instead of May 6.
NM03 = NM03 Osbo D R (rh)
An uncommonly convoluted statement of scheduling requirements but
believed to be scheduled as requested (if the request was correctly
understood).
NM04 = NM04 Harr D R (rh+bl)
NM05 = NM05 Chur D O (rh+bh)
The very long and detailed explanation of the basis for the
scheduling constraints merely makes it harder/slower to locate
the statement of what is actually needed. A brief statement of
the constraints and their general basis would be more helpful.
NM06 = NM06 Klyp D R (rh+bm)
Note non-standard DIS grating config. It was not possible to
entirely avoid nights with other scheduled DIS usage. The NM06
PI will need to coordinate plans for grating changes with the
on-duty OS and PIs of other programs using DIS on some nights.
NM07 = NM07 Ande D R? (rh+bh)
NM08 = NM08 McGe D O (rm+bl)
NM09 = NM09 Holt E R?
NM10 = NM10 Sned D O (rh+bh)
-----
PU note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
PU01 = PU01 Henn D R (rh+bh)
PU02 = PU02 Bowe F R?
PU03 = PU03 Turn D R (rm+bl)
PU04 = PU04 Stra SGD (rl+bl??)
Not all full nights possible.
PU05 = PU05 John D R (rm+bl)
The 2" slit is not always mounted in the slit wheel; please be
sure to call attention to your need for the 2" slit in your
set-up email, due at least 24 hrs in advance of observing.
PU06 = PU06 Rich D R (rm+bl)
The 2" slit is not always mounted in the slit wheel; please be
sure to call attention to your need for the 2" slit in your
set-up email, due at least 24 hrs in advance of observing.
PU07 = PU07 Rich D R (rm+bl)
The 2" slit is not always mounted in the slit wheel; please be
sure to call attention to your need for the 2" slit in your
set-up email, due at least 24 hrs in advance of observing.
PU08 = PU08 Turn S O
-----
UC note: 92% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
UC01 = 460 Kron D R (rh+bh)
UC02 = 463 Lamb SDEG R (rm+bm)
UC03 = 459 Tuml D R (rm+bl)
UC04 = 458 Kent D R (rm+bl)
UC05 = 462 York EDGS R (??)
Bright, grey, dark allocation not consistent with all Fridays.
Nine of 12 half nights assigned. All Fridays would require
6B/2G/5D; 8B/0G/4D allocated. One B and two D half nights not
scheduled.
UC06 = 461 York F R?
UC07 = 457 York D R (rh+bh)
UC08 = 455 York EGDS R (any)
First Friday in May not available.
Adler public observing program, not charged to UC.
-----
UW note: 90% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
UW01 = UW01 Szko D R (rh+bh)
UW02 = UW02 West DS R (rh+bh)
Nine filters listed in the proposal; note that the SPICam holds
only 6 filters at a time.
UW03 = UW03 Yoac D R (rh+bh)
Note that there are no dark second halves in early April; check
lunar calendar before defining constraints please. The requested
slit is often not mounted in the filter wheel, so please be sure
to call attention to the slit requirement in your setup email, due
24 hours before observations begin.
UW04 = UW04 Silv D R (rh+bh)
UW05.S = UW05 Cova S R
UW05.D = UW05 Cova D R (rm+bl)
UW06 = UW06 Szko D R (rh+bh)
Three of 4 half nights scheduled; other not available at this
priority. Also, full nights not available.
UW07 = UW07 Ague D R (rm+bl)
Two dark half nights not scheduled; not available at this priority.
UW08 = UW08 Cova S R
UW09 = UW09 Fras D R (rh+bh)
UW10 = UW10 Wall E O?
One of 5 half nights scheduled outside the preferred range.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS. THE FIRST HALF
OF EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0000
MST OR 0100 MDT. THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING
TWILIGHT.
FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".
THIS QUARTER FIVE PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
THESE PROGRAMS ARE INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
AND THEIR TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
CU03 = 60 MIN FOLLOWING EVENING -12 DEGREE TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
NM01 = FROM SUNSET UNTIL 70 MIN FOLLOWING -12 DEGREE TWILIGHT EACH
TIME SCHEDULED.
NM02 = 72 MIN FOLLOWING EVENING -12 DEGREE TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
PU06 = 120 MIN FOLLOWING EVENING -12 DEGREE TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
UC08 = 60 MIN BEFORE EVENING -12 DEGREE TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
IN ADDITION PU03 USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING ON TWO OF THE NIGHTS ON WHICH
IT HAS TIME AND A FULL HALF NIGHT ON ANOTHER NIGHT AS INDICATED IN THE
SCHEDULE BELOW.
INSTRUMENT CHANGE TIMES ARE NOT INCLUDED BELOW BUT WILL BE
INDICATED IN THE SCHEDULE ISSUED FROM APO AND WILL BE SHARED
BETWEEN ADJOINING PROGRAMS AS USUAL.
