CTIO Scientific Staff Responsibilities (1Sep92)
(from CTIO, NOAO Newsletter No. 31, 1 September 1992)

The responsibilities assigned to each member of the scientific staff at
CTIO are reviewed every six months or so. We try to ensure that every
aspect of the observatory that is related to visiting astronomers
acquiring data and producing publishable scientific results is
ultimately put under the purview of astronomers on the scientific
staff. Any questions that you have about any equipment, service, or
procedures may then be directed to the responsible persons. The
attached list summarizes the current assignments. Feel free to contact
the designated staff members if you have questions about things in
their area of responsibility.
