1mm VLBI Call for Proposals to Use Phased ALMA with EHT
Mark Adams NRAO
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for 1mm Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) using the phased output of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) during ALMA Cycle 4.
An overview of phased ALMA and the EHT, additional technical information supporting proposal preparation, and instructions for proposal submission are provided on the Call for Proposals website. Up to 5% of ALMA Cycle 4 observing time is available for VLBI, shared between 1mm and 3mm. Note that the EHT without phased ALMA is not being offered as part of this Call.
A proposal must be submitted to request phased ALMA by the ALMA Cycle 4 proposal deadline. In addition, the same proposal must be submitted in response to this 1mm VLBI Call for Proposals.
The submission deadline for 1mm VLBI proposals is Thursday, 28 April 2016, at 23:59 UT.
Proposers who need assistance with proposal preparation or have questions regarding the Call for Proposals should contact NRAO staff via the "General" department of the NRAO Helpdesk.
