We have time-exchange programs with Gemini and Keck. The instruments written in italics are those of Gemini or Keck.
- These proposals have been accepted in the category of Intensive Program. S18B-011I will be assigned 5 nights for the following 6 semesters. S18B-093I will be assigned 0.5 nights for the following 5 semesters.
NOTE
In order to compensate surplus telescope times, which resulted from cancellations due to UPS failure and instrument damage caused by hurricane, five backup proposals (see 1 below) were newly accepted and supplemental nights were added to originally accepted four proposals (see 2 below).
