REVISED ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 2ND QUARTER 2000
E. TURNER 4/5/00
NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***
4/5/00 Notes: This revision records a bunch of small schedule
swaps and minor changes affecting "only" the following programs:
DD03, DD04( a new program), NM01, PU01, PU02, PU05, UC01, UC07,
UC08, UW02 and UW03 (unless I missed one/some). Note that one
swap affects the schedule for *tomorrow* night, 4/6.
Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate otherwise
(a minority of cases), observing time has again been scheduled
in half night blocks.
Scheduled engineering time for this quarter amounts to 9 nights.
Thus, scheduled engineering time will be at approximately the 10%
level.
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.
DD03 is a set aside of four two nights of observing time
for rapid follow-up of targets identified by the SDSS or for other
quick response target-of-opportunity programs. Details of the project
and procedures for obtaining access to DD03 time will be given in
a separate posting to apo35-general and to sdss-general.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The split of the night into two halves occurs on
the hour (0000 MST or 0100 MDT) rather than at 10 minutes past
the hour as in most recent quarters.
ACCOUNTING NOTE: WSU sold 6 half nights of time to PUO for 2Q2000.
Please see links off of the APO home page (http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/)
for a web based interactive version of this schedule.

-----
NMSU Note: 104% of nominal share scheduled. Flexibility time
added to NM02, NM03 and NM05.
-----
NM01 = NM01 Leeb G R
"Two nights separating" and "two nights between" are a bit
unclear, could mean either 48 or 72 hours between starts;
fortunately made clear by request for specific dates.
NM02 = NM02 Fors G O
NM03 = NM03 Step G R
NM04 = NM04 Holt D R? (medium, low)
NM05 = NM05 Klyp D R (medium)
NM06 = NM06 Harr D R (high)
NM07 = NM07 Hame S R
Not schedued. No April or May dark first halves (the highest
demand category of time as usual) available at this priority.
NM08 = NM08 Will D O (medium, high)
NM09 = NM09 Ledl D R (medium)
Not schedued. No April or May dark first halves (the highest
demand category of time as usual) available at this priority.
NM10 = NM10 Haye S O
-----
PU Note: 103% of nominal share scheduled. Please specify preferences
for 10% flexibility time in future requests. Time added to PU01.
-----
PU01.D = PU01 Fan D R (low)
PU01.G = PU01 Fan G R
PU02 = PU02 Bowe D R (low, high)
Note - no instrument specified, but DIS assumed since
gratings requested. (Same omission last quarter; please
rectify in future.)
PU03 = PU03 Pind D R (low)
PU04 = PU04 Kim D R (low)
PU05 = PU05 Turn S O
Non-block scheduling. See note in BLOCK CAPS just before
schedule below.
PU06 = PU06 Knap D R (low)
Only June time available at this priority.
PU07 = PU07 Way G R
-----
UC Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
UC01 = 339 Kent D R (low)
UC02 = 334 Kron S O
Please specify scheduling constraints in terms of dates, not
just celestial coordinates of targets, as per instructions
in the future.
UC03 = 333 Frie D R (low)
UC04 = 340 York D O (high)
UC05 = 335 York E R
UC06 = 336 Hobb E R
UC07 = 338 Kent G R
UC08 = 337 Kron D R (medium)
UC09 = 332 York G R
Adler Planetarium twilight program (not accounted to UC).
Use instrument mounted for the night's first program.
Non-block scheduling. See note in BLOCK CAPS just before
schedule below. Requested observing dates are all in the
first quarter! Only one night scheduled as per instructions
in a later part of the proposal. Please advise if this is
not correctly scheduled.
-----
UW Note: 102% of nominal share scheduled. Flexibility time added
to UW02. Time allocations listed in the individual requests did
not agree with those tabulated in the overall summary (which appears
to correspond to the TAC allocation?). This was not discovered
until too late in the scheduling process to correct (assuming that
the tabulation was correct rather than the individual listings?)
completely; however, most programs got at least something close to
the tabulated allocations.
-----
UW01 = UW01 Ande D R (low)
UW02 = UW02 Kris S/G R
SPIcam is the primary instrument, but GRIM2 is back-up and
may be switched in after SPIcam observations on some nights
at the observer's request.
Insufficient D and G time allocated to schedule every 3 to 4
nights (as requested) through the dark runs, but an attempt
was made to come as close as possible given the constraints
of the available D/G time allocation.
UW03 = UW03 Szko D R (high)
Despite indication that this program is for HST and EUVE
coordinated observations, no observing schedule constraints
were specifieda Scheduling based on a guess at what might
work.
UW04.S = UW04 Stub S R
UW04.D = UW04 Stub D R (low)
UW04.G = UW04 Stub G R
May 18 not available due to scheduled telescope engineering;
closest available alternative (May 19B) scheduled instead.
UW05 = UW05 Dalc S R
UW06 = UW06 Stub LLNL-FTS O
These observations involve the use of visitor instruments.
The time is scheduled contingent upon the PI obtaining
Bruce Gillespie's explicit agreement that all the technical
and logistical arrangements involving the instrument are
satisfactory at least 10 days prior to the scheduled
observations.
UW07 = UW07 Stub LLNL-FTS O
These observations involve the use of visitor instruments.
The time is scheduled contingent upon the PI obtaining
Bruce Gillespie's explicit agreement that all the technical
and logistical arrangements involving the instrument are
satisfactory at least 10 days prior to the scheduled
observations.
UW08 = UW08 Gonz S/D R (none)
-----
WSU Note: 100% of nominal share scheduled.
-----
WS01 = WS01 Aust D R (low)
WS02 = WS02 Brow E R
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS. THE FIRST HALF OF
EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 1200 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 TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS USE NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
THESE PROGRAMS ARE INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
AND THEIR TIME ALLOTMENTS ARE LISTED HERE:
PU05 = 35 MIN EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
UC09 = 60 MIN IN TWILIGHT EACH TIME SCHEDULED.
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.
