Time Critical Observations, ToOs, and Proposal Ranking
Approved Target of Opportunity and time critical observations will be given the highest
priority for that night.
Time critical observations must be justified in the proposal.
Examples include observing during a exoplanet transit, or simultaneous observations with
other facilities. Thus, a median ranked proposal will be given a higher priority than a highly
ranked proposal if the observations are time critical.
The date and times for these time critical observations do not need to be specified in the
proposal, but the number must be justified.
Starting February 2020, ToOs can be requested during the night. Please contact Brad Holden for further information.
