UC Keck Telescope Time for ToOsTarget of Opportunity (ToO) proposals should be directed at objects of unpredictable appearance dates for which a short, timely observation (up to one hour) may be of great value. The TAC will evaluate ToO proposals. Those that receive approval will be sent by the Director to all relevant potential observers for their advance study. Should a ToO event occur, it is the responsibility of the ToO proposer to arrange with the scheduled observer for the observations to be made. It is not mandatory that the observer carry out observations of the ToO event, but a well-written, persuasive proposal should increase the likelihood of this. ToO proposals are due the same date as others and should be clearly indicated as such. |
