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

NOTE:

Some of the accepted programs using AO188(1) cannot be performed in S10A due to the unexpected damage of AO188. In place of those programs and SEEDS, our TAC newly accepted the following 5 programs in February 2010. In addition, the originally accepted 4 programs(2) have been assigned additional nights.

  • S10A-031, Alexander Scholz et al,
    SONYC: A census of brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects in rho Ophiuchus
    FMOS, 2 nights

  • S10A-077, Koji Kawabata et al.,

*1
S10A-128 and S10A-147 have been cancelled.
S10A-113, S10A-114, and S10A-123 will be performed without AO188.

*2
Additional 1 night each for S10A-036, S10A-048, S10A-058, and S10A-110
