PRELIMINARY ARC 3.5M SCHEDULE FOR 1ST QUARTER 2003
E. TURNER 12/21/02
NOTES: ***PLEASE READ***
EXPLANATION, PLEASE NOTE - This preliminary schedule only covers
the month of January. The remainder of the quarter (Feb-March)
will be covered in an additional preliminary schedule I hope to
issue during the week of Dec 30. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Many 1Q2003 programs have not yet been assigned any time, and some
have been assigned only a part of their TAC allocations, in this
January only preliminary schedule.
Except in cases where strong science drivers dictate otherwise
(a minority of cases), observing time has again been scheduled
in half night blocks. In fact, all currently scheduled science
programs for this quarter are in half night blocks.
Scheduled engineering time for this quarter consists of 3 nights
of routine maintenance (EN01) or 3.3% of the total available time.
SOMETHING NEW - In addition to EN01 time, small blocks (15-30 min,
most likely) of engineering time will be inserted into scheduled
science nights on an unscheduled basis to obtain S-H collimation
data on the telescope. The justification and details of this
engineerng project will be announced separately.
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.
There is no OPEN time in the current schedule for January 2003.
Please see links off of the APO home page (http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/)
for a web based interactive version of this schedule.
-----
EN Note: No science observations scheduled during EN time.
-----
EN01 = EN01 Gill ? O
Routine periodic engineering and projects time.
-----
DD Note: Director's Discretionary Time (4.4% of total time)
-----
DD00 = 031DD00 TBA TBA TBA
DD01 = 031DD01 Blak S R
-----
CU Note: 60% of nominal share scheduled in Jan.
-----
CU01 = CU01 Elli D O/R
Very confusing scheduling instructions!
CU02 = CU02 Ball E/S/G R
CU03 = CU03 Wilk E R
Observing schedule constraints misplaced in the proposal;
only scheduled at all because it is the holiday season!
CU05 = CU05 Hear S/G R/O
Gray time assigned on an explicitly requested date even
though TAC assigned a dark half night.
-----
JHU Note: 31% of nominal share scheduled in Jan.
-----
JH02 = JH02 Uomo D R (med, low)
-----
NMSU Note: 27% of nominal share scheduled in Jan.
-----
NM01 = NM01 Chan E O
Six 2-hour blocks corresponds to two, not three, half nights.
NM07 = NM07 Bare G O
NM08 = NM08 Holt E R
-----
PU Note: 46% of nominal share scheduled in Jan.
-----
PU01.S = PU01 Pind S R
PU03 = PU03 Bowe D R (low)
PU05 = PU05 Blak S R
-----
UC Note: 26% of nominal share scheduled in Jan.
-----
UC02 = 408 York E R
UC04 = 413 Frie D O/R
-----
UW Note: 38% of nominal share scheduled in Jan.
-----
UW01 = UW01 Laws E R
Very confusing scheduling instructions!
UW02 = UW02 Yoac D R (high Blue)
UW03 = UW03 Hawl D R (high)
UW04 = UW04 Szko D R (high)

MOST PROGRAMS ARE SCHEDULED IN HALF NIGHT BLOCKS. THE FIRST HALF OF
EACH NIGHT EXTENDS FROM -12 DEGREE EVENING TWILIGHT UNTIL 0000 MST.
THE SECOND HALF FOLLOWS UNTIL -12 DEGREE MORNING TWILIGHT.
FIRST HALF IS INDICATED BELOW AS "A"; THE SECOND, AS "B".
THIS QUARTER ONLY ONE PROGRAM USES NON-BLOCK SCHEDULING.
THIS PROGRAM IS INDICATED IN PARENTHESES () ON THE SCHEDULE
AND ITS TIME ALLOTMENT IS LISTED HERE:
NM01 = STARTS 120 MIN BEFORE -12 DEGREE MORNING 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.
