- This proposal has been accepted in the category of Intensive Program, and total 6 nights will be carried over to the following 2 semesters (S13A and S13B).
NOTE:
In order to fill the telescope time resulting from the cancellation of S-Cam observations due to the technical problem involved with Top Unit Exchanger in 2012 September, six backup proposals (see 1 below) were newly executed and additional nights were assigned to originally accepted five proposals (see 2 below).
