We have time-exchange programs with Gemini and Keck. The instruments written in italics are those of Gemini or Keck.

* This proposal has been accpeted in the category of Intensive Program.

NOTE (July 12, 2016):
In order to compensate the surplus telescope time resulting from the cancellation of re-coating work of the primary mirror, nine backup proposals (see *1 below) were newly accepted and additional nights were assigned to originaly accepted eight proposals (see *2 below).
