STScI . ... Phase I Proposing . ... Astronomer's Proposal Tool . ... STScI solicits proposals for HST Observing, Archival Theoretical Research. ... HST Cycle 24 Phase II Proposal Deadline . The Call for Proposals (CP) invites the astronomical community to propose for observing time on HST in a given cycle (nominally one year in duration). It summarizes the policies and procedures for proposing in that cycle of HST observing, including requests for funding research on archival HST data. ...

The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

ARCSAT Call for Proposals for Shared-Risk Observing during May-Sept 2014 Suzanne Hawley, Director and Mark Klaene, Site Manager April 18, 2014 Updated June 14, 2014 We are happy to announce that the ARCSAT upgrade project led by APO engineers Joe Huehnerhoff and Bill Ketzeback is nearly complete. ... ARCSAT proposals will be accepted as text files using the ARCSAT proposal form (available from the website) which is similar to the 3.5m proposal form. ... Remember, the time is shared-risk! ...

... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...
