e-MERLIN/VLBI National Facility - Call for e-MERLIN proposals cycle-7
*********** e-MERLIN/VLBI National Facility ***************
******* CALL FOR e-MERLIN PROPOSALS - Cycle-7 *********
****http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/observe/call_cycle7.html *****
e-MERLIN requests proposals from the international astronomical
community for observations to be made during Cycle-7. Proposals are
competitively peer-reviewed under standard STFC rules by the PATT
e-MERLIN Time Allocation Committee. Allocation will be made on the
basis of scientific merit and technical feasibility alone. During
e-MERLIN operations ~50% of observing time has been allocated to large
legacy projects and the remaining formal time will be allocated via
PATT to standard proposals solicited prior to each observing semester.
e-MERLIN Science: e-MERLIN observations address a broad range of
http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/sci/ and its unique combination of angular resolution (mas) and
sensitivity (microJy) provide crucial insights in multiple science areas including:
* star-formation and black hole growth in galaxies;
* the physical processes which govern the formation of stars;
* the modes of activity in nearby galaxies;
* transient radio sources;
* Radio spectral lines (masers and in absorption);
* The energetic processes in relativistic outflows from jets generated by black holes and compact objects;
* Along with multiple other applications.
e-MERLIN provides high resolution (12-150mas) and high sensitivity
(~[7]-14 microJy [inc. Lovell Telescope]) imaging at cm wavelengths as
well as polarimetry, spectroscopy and astrometry.
*** Cycle-7 e-MERLIN Observations: June - December 2018 ***
Deadline for Receipt of Proposals
- 23:59:59 UT on 17th May 2018
Ang. res. Sensitivity
L-band (1.23-1.74GHz) - ~150mas ~7uJy/bm*
C-band (4.5 - 7.5GHz) - ~40mas ~7uJybm*
K-band (21 - 24GHz) - ~12mas ~55uJy/bm
* Assumes inclusion of Lovell Telescope at L/C-band and
a full imaging track (~18hrs with calibration).
The full call for proposals, including technical specifications is
available at:
<http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/observe/call_cycle7.html>http://www.e-merlin.ac.uk/observe/call_cycle7.html
Developments during Cycle-7: Following testing and commissioning, the
introduction of the full 2GHz bandwidth at C and K-Band is scheduled
for delivery during the Cycle-7 observing period. PATT observations
made after this development may benefit from this extra bandwidth once
it becomes available, however, this will be offered initially on a
shared-risk basis. All proposals should be justified assuming the
current available bandwidth of 512MHz. K-Band observations are also
offered on a best-efforts basis.

e-MERLIN is partially supported via theRadioNet Transnational
Access activity via the EU Horizon 2020 programme RadioNet.
This activity provides travel support for eligible e-MERLIN users.
