2M HIMALAYAN CHANDRA TELESCOPE: SERVICE OBSERVATIONS



INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING THE PROPOSAL FORM


  • Please indicate the instrument to be used for service observations, with the required mode of observation.


  • List the filters/grisms to be used by checking the appropriate box(es) in the form. Also, clearly indicate the slit to be used for spectroscopic observations.


  • List of objects to be provided with proper identification charts. The magnitude of the object and the required exposure time are to be specified.
    PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROPOSAL WILL BE REJECTED IF NO OBJECT LIST IS PROVIDED.


  • State if observations of standards are required. If you have any particular standard to be observed, please list the same in the source list.


  • Indicate if photometric conditions are absolutely essential.


  • Any additional information such as mosaicing strategy, slit position angles, etc, that will assist with the observations may be mentioned.


  • Please indicate if the proposed observations are closely related to any HCT proposal which you or your colleagues have submitted or intend to submit. If so, then include, in the scientific justification, specific reasons why service mode is required.

    NOTE: PROJECTS FOR WHICH OBSERVING TIME IS PENDING WILL NOT NORMALLY BE CONSIDERED FOR SERVICE TIME TO ACCQUIRE THE SAME OR SIMILAR DATA.
