Gemini South Semester 2008B

PDF Version

The semester calendar shows multi-instrument queue nights, scheduled classical runs and engineering or commissioning blocks. Instruments potentially usable on queue nights are
indicated by the coloured-horizontal bands (see color key below). Note: ToO PIs should always check the "what's available now" pages that are linked from the contents list for
the most up-to-date information. Scheduled classical runs are indicated by the last characters of the GS-2008B-É program ID number.
Engineering or commissioning that involves one or more instruments is shown in the relevant instrument row(s). New and full moon dates are shown on the left.

NICI notes: NICI commissioning and campaign science blocks are tentative and may be re-scheduled as needed. It is expected that NICI will be mounted on a side port, and so will not require removal of T-ReCS.
The last campaign run is optional and will depend on how many people are trained to run a queue with NICI.
F2 Notes: F2 will need to pass AT in the up-looking and side-looking ports. We are also adding one commissioning run (two more pending).
The schedule is tentative depending on the actual date for F2 arrival in Chile. They can easily be moved +/- 1 month.
