Overrides: Policy Statement
June
9th, 2010: - Please note
that, for the forseeable future (including semester 10B), overrides and
existing long-term projects remain part of the UKIRT schedule.
Observers should therefore execute overrides when asked to do so.
PATT-allocated Overrides are mandatory for PATT observers. UH and
Japanese observers cannot formally be overridden, and the PI of a
PATT-allocated programme should contact those observers directly if
they wish to request observations. The observer in that case should
feel no pressure to carry out the override, though any data will of
course be greatly appreciated.
In the event that more than one override, or more than two hours, or
both, are requested for a given night, and weather conditions are good
enough for the Observer's Programme, the observer should contact the
Scheduler or Head of Operations before carrying out any observations on
the override programme(s).
Target-of-opportunity observations may be requested on an informal
basis, as described in the "Targets
of Opportunity"
section (on the UKIRT sidebar).
