European VLBI Network
Call for Proposals
Deadline 1 February 2012
**************************************************
This text is also available on the web at
http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/vlbi/EVN/call-feb12.txt
Observing proposals are invited for the EVN, a VLBI network of radio
telescopes spread throughout Europe and beyond, operated by an
international Consortium of institutes (http://www.evlbi.org/).
The observations may be conducted with disk recording (standard EVN)
or in real-time (e-VLBI).
The EVN facility is open to all astronomers. Use of the Network by
astronomers not specialised in the VLBI technique is encouraged.
The Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE) can provide support and
advice on project preparation, scheduling, correlation and analysis.
See EVN User Support at http://www.jive.nl.
Future Standard EVN Observing Sessions (disk recording)
-------------------------------------------------------
2012 Session 1 Feb 23 - Mar 15 18/21cm, 6cm ...
2012 Session 2 May 24 - Jun 12 18/21cm, 6cm ...
2012 Session 3 Oct 18 - Nov 08 18/21cm, 6cm ...
Proposals received by 1 February 2012 will be considered for
scheduling in Session 2, 2012 or later. Finalisation of the planned
observing wavelengths will depend on proposal pressure.
Future e-EVN Observing Sessions (real-time correlation)
-------------------------------------------------------
2012 Feb 07 - Feb 08 (start at 13 UTC) 6cm
2012 Mar 20 - Mar 21 (start at 13 UTC) 18/21cm, 6cm, 5cm or 1.3cm
2012 Apr 17 - Apr 18 (start at 13 UTC) 18/21cm, 6cm, 5cm or 1.3cm
2012 May 15 - May 16 (start at 13 UTC) 18/21cm, 6cm, 5cm or 1.3cm
Please consult the e-EVN web page at
http://www.evlbi.org/evlbi/e-vlbi_status.html to check for possible
updates, and for the available array.
e-VLBI proposals submitted by the February 1st deadline will be
considered for scheduling in the above sessions starting from March 2012.
Note that only one wavelength will be run in each session, depending
on proposal priorities.
See http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/vlbi/evn_docs/guidelines.html for
details concerning the e-VLBI observation classes and observing modes.
Features for the next regular EVN and e-EVN sessions
-----------------------------------------------------
* The antenna in Noto is under maintenance and it is expected to be
available for EVN observations from Session 2, 2012.
* Due to e-MERLIN commissioning VLBI at e-MERLIN
out-stations (e.g. Cambridge) is not possible, and JB1 is the only
homestation available. After commissioning, only separate EVN
(Jb home-station only) and e-MERLIN observations will initially be
scheduled. For updated information please consult the web at:
http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/vlbi/
Proposals requesting EVN + e-MERLIN should indicate clearly whether
separate EVN and e-MERLIN observations are sufficient, or whether
scheduling should await simultaneous VLBI at e-MERLIN outstations.
Simultaneous wide-bandwidth VLBI and e-MERLIN operations at e-MERLIN
outstations are planned for 2012.
* Please consult http://www.evlbi.org/evlbi/e-vlbi_status.html and
the EVN User Guide http://www.evlbi.org/user_guide/user_guide.html
for updates on the current EVN and e-EVN array, availability of
different stations per observing band and for the dates of the e-EVN
observing sessions.
Large EVN projects
------------------
Most proposals request 12-48hrs observing time. The EVN Program
Committee (PC) also encourages larger projects (>48 hrs); these
will be subject to more detailed scrutiny, and the EVN PC may, in
some cases, attach conditions on the release of the data.
How to submit
-------------
All EVN, Global and e-VLBI proposals (except ToO proposals) must
be submitted using the Northstar on-line proposal submission tool.
Global proposals will be forwarded to NRAO automatically and should
not be submitted to NRAO separately.
New proposers should register at http://proposal.jive.nl.
The SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION MUST BE LIMITED TO 2 PAGES in length.
Up to 2 additional pages with diagrams may be included.
The deadline for submission is 23:59:59 UTC on 1 February 2012.
Additional information
-----------------------
Further information on Global VLBI, EVN+MERLIN and e-EVN observations,
and guidelines for proposal submission are available at:
http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/vlbi/evn_docs/guidelines.html
The EVN User Guide (http://www.evlbi.org/user_guide/user_guide.html)
describes the network and provides general information on its
capabilities.
The current antenna capabilities can be found in the status tables.

For the e-EVN array see http://www.evlbi.org/evlbi/e-vlbi_status.html

observed by the EVN and Global VLBI.
