On the official cover page, please fill in the line `special requirements' if you request either polarimetric observations, service or remote observing. If the observations need or have to avoid specific dates, enter them here. If there are periods when you cannot observe for personal reasons, please specify them here.
We insist upon receiving, with proposals for heterodyne receivers, a complete list of frequencies corrected for source redshift (to 0.1 GHz) and precise positions. If in very special cases the proposers do not feel to be in a position to give this information, they should take up contact with the scheduler (thum@iram.fr). The proposers should also specify on the cover sheet which receivers they plan to use.
In order to avoid useless duplication of observations and to protect already
accepted proposals, we keep up a computerized list of targets.
We ask you to fill out carefully the source list in J2000 coordinates.
This list must contain all the sources (and only those
sources) for which
you request observing time. To allow electronic scanning of your
source parameters, your list must adhere to the format indicated on the
proposal form (no hand writing, please).
If your source list is longer (e.g. more than 15 sources) than what
fits onto the cover page, please use the newly provided LATEX
macro \extendedsourcelist.
A scientific project should not be artificially cut into several small projects, but should rather be submitted as one bigger project, even if this means 100-150 hours.
If time has already been given to a project but turned out to be insufficient, explain the reasons, e.g. indicate the amount of time lost due to bad weather or equipment failure; if the fraction of time lost is close to 100%, don't rewrite the proposal, except for an introductory paragraph. For continuation of proposals having led to publications, please give references to the latter.
