The EAO are pleased to provide an announcement of the fourth Call for JCMT Large Programs*<\/strong>. Submissions will be accepted from August 15th up until the September 15th deadline. This will coincide with the 22A PI Call.<\/p>\n

*<\/strong>This call is limited to programs wishing to make use of Grade 4 and 5 weather only<\/a>. These conditions are best suited to our heterodyne receivers: HARP<\/a>, `\u016a`\u016b<\/span><\/a> and the newly available `\u0100weoweo<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

The East Asian Observatory announces the opening of a forth JCMT Large Program Call for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Large Programs<\/a> are defined by the observatory as projects which require significant amounts (> 200 hours) of observing time, require more than a single semester to complete and that take full advantage of the JCMT instrumentation capabilities to address multiple important scientific questions.<\/p>\n

This call is aimed at continuing and growing the impact of the first, second and third generation of JCMT Large Programs<\/a> undertaken as EAO\/JCMT and the JCMT Legacy Surveys<\/a>. Unlike past Large Program Call’s this Call is specifically aimed at weather Grades 4 and 5<\/a> with our Heterodyne instruments<\/a> – notably HARP<\/a>, `\u016a`\u016b<\/span><\/a> and the newly available `\u0100weoweo<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The total number of hours available in this 22A Call for Large Programs is 4,200 hours. The break down of hours by Weather Grade<\/a> is provided in the histogram above. The exact breakdown in numbers should be used as a guide only and are based on the Large Program Prediction Model<\/a>.<\/p>\n
