The JCMT Newsletter Number 10
 Special Notes for 98B Applicants
The deadline for ALL applications for semester 98B (August 1st 1998
through January 31st 1999) is 31st March 1998.
All applications must arrive at their appropriate collection point
by midnight on March 31st. These will be processed for the ITAC meeting to be held
with the other PATT facilities in early June.
The Latex template application form (the regular PATT3 variety) can be downloaded from the JCMT homepage on the Web. An
explanation of how to classify applications into UK, Canadian, Netherlands or
International, the correct number of copies required, and the correct
addresses of the collecting points can also be found on the Web. Electronic
submissions will be most welcome in the case of Netherlands and Canadian
applications. These electronic applications should be sent to their national
collection point.
UK and International applications may be submitted electronically to the JAC
beginning with this semester.. Please read here
for further details.
INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE
The current status of RxA2, RxB3, RxC2 and SCUBA can be found on the Web.
These instruments will be available throughout the semester.
RxW is scheduled to be commissioned on the telescope at some point during Semester 98A. This may be too
late to be able to provide any parameters prior to the ITAC meeting and
therefore applications should not request RxW. More specifically, any C-band
applications allocated time for RxC2 will automatically be given RxW time
should the C-band commissioning proceed successfully. There cannot be any
D-band requests for semester 98B.
It is anticipated that there will be an SBI run around October/November 1998.
Applications should be sent in as normal by the appropriate JCMT and CSO
deadlines. The instruments available will be only RxA2, RxB3 and RxC2, not RxW.
