Proposal Information
- Proposal Title: The title of the project can be entered here and is limited to 120 characters.
- Proposal Cycle: This is formed from the proposal year and the submission period. If a non-submitted proposal created during a previous cycle is read into the OT the old proposal cycle will be shown, but this will be updated to the current cycle if the project is then submitted.
- Abstract: The abstract can be entered as plain text and is limited to 1200 characters.
- Proposal Type: Four projects types are currently available
- Regular (Letter Code = S): This type of project is essentially the opposite of Large i.e. the total time required must be less than the criteria for Large projects.
- Large (Letter Code = L): If
50 hours of 12-m Array or
150 hours of 7-m Stand-alone ACA time is requested, this Proposal Type must be selected. Projects must receive an A grade in order to receive time and are allowed a longer Scientific Justification. This proposal type is not available for ACA Supplemental Call proposals.
- Target of Opportunity (Letter Code = T): These projects will need to be triggered during the observing period. It is not necessary to enter the source coordinates as these may not be known at proposal submission time. This proposal type is not available for ACA Supplemental Call proposals.
- VLBI (Letter Code = V): Selecting this will significantly change the information that must be entered into the Science Goal. A proposal must also be submitted to the other telescopes that will form the VLBI array. This proposal type is not available for ACA Supplemental Call proposals.
- Phased Array Mode (Letter Code = P): This is very similar to the VLBI mode and requests use of the phased-up array that is used for VLBI observations. However, in this mode the ALMA antennas operate as a single instrument and are not combined with data from other telescopes.
- Scientific Category: A set of radio buttons for selecting the proposal's science category:
- Cosmology and the High Redshift Universe
- Galaxies and Galactic Nuclei
- ISM, star formation and astrochemistry
- Circumstellar disks, exoplanets and the solar system
- Stellar Evolution and the Sun.
- Keywords: Assign at least one and preferably two keywords to the project. The second keyword is added by holding down the Shift or Ctrl key in the way that you're probably used to.
