The next deadline for the submission of observing proposals for the IRAM 30 m telescope is September 4th, 1995, midnight. The observing session will extend from Nov. 15th, 1995 to May 15th, 1996 and cover roughly the `winter' period at Pico Veleta. Three types of proposals will be considered:
proposals at 3 mm, 2 mm and 1.3 mm wavelength using heterodyne
receivers,
proposals at 0.8 mm wavelength using a heterodyne receiver
(to be scheduled during a 2-week observing session),
proposals at 1.3 mm wavelength using a bolometer. The bolometer will be the 19
channel array (or 7 channel backup) belonging to the MPIfR.
The 30-m telescope efficiency is low at 0.8 mm (
)
and the power radiated in the error beam is twice larger than in the main
beam. Pointing can also be marginal at this short wavelength in case
the atmosphere is unstable.The 0.8 mm proposals should discuss the
effect of the error beam and of pointing errors on the observations.
