We have time-exchange programs with Gemini and Keck. The instruments written in italics are those of Gemini or Keck.
- This proposal has been accepted in the category of Intensive Program.
NOTE (May 14, 2018):
In order to compensate the surplus telescope time resulting from the cancellation of HSC observation due to the earthquake, 4 additional nights were assigned to originally accepted five proposals (see below).
- S18A-002 Imanishi et al., IRCS+AO188, 0.5 night
- S18A-011I Nishiyama et al., IRCS+AO188, 1 night
- S18A-042 Iwata et al., MOIRCS, 1 night
- S18A-104 Kasdin et al., CHARIS+SCExAO, 1 night
