JCMT Observing ScheduleNotesThe schedules on these pages show the name of the Principal Investigator, the PATT reference number of the application and the instrumentation required to complete the primary project. The PI of the programs thus 'scheduled' is normally responsible for organizing observers for their shifts. The coloured backgrounds identify the (national) queues or other activities:Facility instruments available are, or have been:
(Continuum) S = SCUBA Sp = SCUBA polarimeter S2 = SCUBA-2
(Spectral/heterodyne) A = A-band B = B-band C = C-band D = D-band
Xp = heterodyne (X-band) + polarimeter
where X = A, B, C, D
eSMA = extended submillimetre array (SMA + CSO + JCMT)
Visitor instruments are also indicated on the schedule:
spifi = South Pole Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer fts = University of Lethbridge, Canada, Fourier Transform Spectrometer mpi = Max-Planck-Institut, Bonn, 800 GHz heterodyne instrument Z = Zeus (CfA) Th = Thumper (200micron bolometer, Cardiff)TSSs (telescope Support Specialists) and staff members are identified by initials: Telescope System Specialists
JCH = Jim Hoge JK = Jonathan Kemp BAW = Ben Warrington JW = Jan Wouterloot JCMT Staff Scientists
MZ = Ming Zhu GMS = Gerald Moriarty-Schieven RPT = Remo Tilanus IMC = Iain Coulson PF = Per Friberg JW = Jan Wouterloot VB = Vicky Barnard JL = Jamie Leech GD = Gary Davis HST = Holly Thomas JD = Jessica Dempsey Other Notation
The contents and ordering in this schedule are likely to change at very short notice. All observers should check the most recent version of this schedule prior to making travel bookings. If in doubt, please contact the Scheduler first. DO NOT MAKE ANY TRAVEL BOOKINGS ON THE BASIS OF THIS SCHEDULE WITHOUT CONTACTING THE SCHEDULER FIRST. There is no guarantee that any instruments other than those requested for undertaking your primary programme will be available during your run. Note that: The normal night-time shift length is currently 12 hours, starting at 19:30 HST, although some flexibility is available by arrangement with the TSS. No such arrangement should allow violations of the '14-hour' rule. Previously, evening shifts ran from 1730 - 0130 while morning shifts ran from 0130 - 0930. HST dates are shown to the left and right of the night-time schedule. The corresponding UT date is the one on the right. Partial shift arrangements are indicated by shorter 'blocks', although their expected length may not correspond precisely with the schedule diagram : check with local staff for further details. - or ask the Scheduler. The Scheduler is Iain Coulson
