NOAO Newsletter - SCOPE - March 1998 - Number 53
The LaTeX template, style, and README files for the 1998B semester have been
changed to clarify what information investigators should supply as part of a
telescope proposal. Investigators are encouraged to update their files
before starting to write proposals. The changes include:
- The replacement of the "scientific and technical feasibility" question with
a new question on experimental design.
- A clarification that information on previous allocations of time on NOAO
facilities need only be supplied for the Principal Investigator.
- For CTIO proposals only, investigators should indicate why access to the
southern hemisphere is important to achieving their scientific goals.
As a reminder, all proposal files are available from our network archive at
ftp.noao.edu in the noaoprop directory. The same files are used for both
CTIO and KPNO.
In response to our proposal survey in October, we plan to make changes to
the Web-based proposal form by 1 March (http://www.noao.edu/noaoprop/) to:
- Add an option to import old LaTeX proposals into the Web form for editing
and submission.
- Add a text field for personal LaTeX definitions.
We will also be looking at adding other PostScript figure options without
making the form overly complicated.
Thanks to everyone who completed and returned the proposal survey. Your
feedback is important to us.
Caty Pilachowski, Jeannette Barnes, Dave Bell
