Gemini is now accepting proposals for observing time in Semester 2015B. The submission deadline varies with partner. A new version of the Phase I Tool (PIT) has been released to support proposal submissions.
An updated 2015A Observing Tool is now available for download and is recommended for all users. Please see the release notes for the list of bug fixes. Installation instructions are linked off of the Observing Tool web page.
Director's Discretionary (DD) and Poor Weather (PW) proposals must use the 2015A PIT. See the PIT Version Table for more information and download links.
Gemini North is now accepting proposals for the first cycle of the Fast Turnaround (FT) pilot program. Here, we give information specific to this proposal cycle. Please see the other FT pages - particularly the rules - for general information about the program.
Gemini Observatory announces an opportunity for new Large and Long Programs. Eligible PIs are invited to propose scientific investigations to begin observation in the 2015B semester. Letters of Intent are due February 2 2015, and completed proposals are due March 31 2015. Details and requirements are available in the Announcement of Opportunity.
The 2015A Gemini Observing Tool is now available for download. This update is required to access the Gemini Observing Databases. Installation instructions are linked off of the Observing Tool web page, and we recommend that everyone download their programs from scratch from the ODBs rather than import from saved XMLs.
