The PATT and JMU Time Allocation Committees (TACs) have issued Calls For Proposals to observe with the LT in Semester 2021B, which runs from 1st July 2021 to 28th February 2022 inclusive.

As always, you may also apply for Reactive Time and Priority Z Time outside of these semester-based applications, at any time throughout the year.

FRODOSpec and IO:I

Due to reliability issues and travel restrictions currently preventing maintenance visits to the telescope, IO:I and FRODOspec will not be offered in semester 2021B.

PATT Applications

Total allocation time available, after deductions for Reactive Time and pre-allocations:

Applications are particularly encouraged for brighter sky conditions, which are typically less subscribed.

PATT accepts proposals from Principal Investigators (PIs) based in the UK. Non-UK PIs who are not eligible for CAT, OPTICON or CCI time may also apply through PATT.
