Pooled observing

As in the previous summer semester, we plan to pool the bolometer and other suitable proposals together in one or more observing sessions. The proposals participating in the pool are observed by Granada staff and cooperating external astronomers, as organised by the pool coordinator. The participating proposals are grouped according to their demand on weather quality, and they get observed following the priorities assigned by the program committee. The organization of the observing pool is described under the link " "Pool Observing" on the spanish web page.

Typically, the bolometer proposals are included in the pool, but very weather sensitive heterodyne proposals, in particular those using HERA, may also request inclusion in the pool. Bolometer and heterodyne proposals which are particularly weather tolerant qualify as backup for the pool. Participation in the pool is voluntary, and the respective box on the proposal form should be checked. Any questions concerning the pool organization should be directed to the scheduler (thumiram.fr) or the Pool Coordinator, Stéphane Léon, leoniram.es.
