The following note was issued by the Director, JAC, on 12-Feb-2009. It can be obtained in PDF format here. Dear colleagues, In my announcement of 22-Dec-2008, I indicated that UKIRT would operate exclusively in wide-field survey mode from 1st February 2009. This change has now been implemented and as a consequence WFCAM will be the only operational instrument on the telescope for the foreseeable future. Our science mission now is to
complete
the UKIDSS programme as quickly as possible, but I also seek to
optimise the science programme of the telescope within that
constraint. Careful analysis indicates that we can continue to
support limited PATT and service programmes within existing resources
and without compromising the end-date of UKIDSS. Accordingly, a call
for proposals for semester 09B will be issued shortly. Professor Gary Davis Director JAC 12th February 2009. |
