NOTE: The contents of this page have been superseded by a note from the
Director JAC and Chair, UKIRT Board, issued on 10-Mar-2008:
http://www.jach.hawaii.edu/UKIRT/news/STFC_08A_08B_UPDATE1.html
Introduction
STFC has today (3-Mar-2008) issued the outcome
of its 2008 Programmatic Review, which now enters a consultation
period. The document suggests that STFC plans to switch UKIRT to a
"survey-only" mode as soon as possible after April 2008. The
UKIRT
Board will meet urgently to discuss this. At present, UKIRT users
should assume that the
situation for Semesters 08A and
08B remains as follows:
08A
Scheduling of this semester was completed in December and January.
Until further notice, users should assume that the Cassegrain block
which is scheduled to begin in late June will remain in place.
08B
The Call
for Proposals for 08B, issued on the 15th February, included
availability
of Cassegrain instruments for August 2008, December 2008 and January
2009. Again until further notice, users should assume that this remains
the case. We will of course attempt to clarify this situation ahead of
the proposal deadline on 15-Mar.
