Instrument Observing Blocks: 2001B

The schedules below indicate possible instrument blocks for 2001B. They are subject to engineering demands on the telescopes during this shared-risks phase.

Gemini North

NIRI:

• No restrictions on target RA.

GMOS:

• Available for imaging and long-slit spectroscopy after 1 November; only targets with RA between 20h and 16h will be accepted.
• Available for multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) after 15 December; only targets with RA between 23h and 16h will be accepted.
• Integral field unit spectroscopy not available.

Hokupa'a/QUIRC:

• Likely to be scheduled as two two-week blocks during dark time in August and December. No restrictions on target RA. (This is subject to the availability of the loaned University of Hawaii near-IR camera, QUIRC).

Gemini South

Acquisition Camera:

• The 140 hours of available time is likely to be scheduled in two blocks of 7 nights. This may be adjusted at the time of the ITAC depending on the highly-rated science programs, the nature of Quick Response targets and engineering demands on the telescope during shared-risks. No restrictions on target RA.

Flamingos I:

• Available for imaging and long-slit spectroscopy. Likely to be scheduled as one block in September or October; only targets with RA between 16h and 9h will be accepted.
• Not available for multi-object spectroscopy.

OSCIR:

• Likely to be scheduled as one block in November or December; only targets with RA between 20h and 13h will be accepted.
