e-MERLIN/VLBI National Facility - CALL FOR e-MERLIN PROPOSALS - Cycle-3

e-MERLIN requests proposals from the international astronomical community for observations to be made during Cycle-3. Proposals are competitively peer-reviewed under standard STFC rules by the PATT e-MERLIN Time Allocation Committee. Allocation will be made on the basis of scientific merit and technical feasibility alone. During the first 5 semesters of e-MERLIN operations ~50% of observing time has been allocated to 12 large legacy projects and most of the remaining time will be allocated via PATT to standard proposals solicited prior to each observing semester.

e-MERLIN provides high resolution (40-150mas) and high sensitivity (~[7]-14 microJy [inc. lovell Telescope] in Cycle-3) imaging at cm wavelengths as well as polarimetry, spectroscopy and astrometry. Cycle-3 observations will commence in September 2015.

Deadline 15 April 2015
