NOTE:
In order to compensate the surplus telescope time resulting from the cancellation of S-Cam and FMOS observations due to the technical problem involved with Top Unit Exchanger in 2013 March, thirteen backup proposals (see 1 below) were newly executed and additional nights were assigned to originally accepted seven proposals (see 2 below).
