The documentation for the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer includes
documents of general interest to potential users, and more specialized
documents intended for observers on the site (IRAM on-duty
astronomers, operators, or observers with non-standard programs). All
documents can be retrieved on the Internet at ../IRAMFR/PDB/docu.html.
Note however, that not all the
documentation on the web has already been updated with respect to the
current receivers. All information presently available on the
current receiver system is given in the Introduction to
the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer at ../IRAMFR/GILDAS/doc/html/pdbi-intro-html and in this call for
proposals.
Finally, we would like to stress again the
importance of the quality of the observing proposal. The IRAM
interferometer is a powerful, but complex instrument, and proposal
preparation requires special care. Information is available in this
call and at ../IRAMFR/PDB/docu.html. The IRAM staff can help
in case of doubts if contacted well before the deadline. Note that the
proposal should not only justify the scientific interest, but also the
need for the Plateau de Bure Interferometer.
