Cycle 21 Proposal Review Schedule
• 12/5/12: Call for Proposals release • 3/01/13: Phase I Proposal deadline • 3/25/13: Proposals made available to reviewers • 5/09/13: Preliminary grades due • 5/13/13 – 5/18/13: Panels and TAC meet • 5/24/13: Notifications sent out • 6/27/13: Phase 2 and Budget deadlines
11/8/2012 12 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Cycle 21 Features
• Cycle 21 will start on 10/1/13 and end on 9/30/14 • All five instruments will be offered (if operational):
ACS, COS, FGS, STIS, WFC3 • The same proposal categories as in C20 will be
offered, with an additional “Medium” category • “Large” proposals request more than 74 orbits
11/8/2012 13 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Medium Sized Proposals
• Medium sized proposals request 35 – 74 orbits • Panels tend to be reluctant to recommend medium sized
proposals because of the orbit cost • In C21 we introduce a new category of “Medium”
proposals which request between 35 and 74 orbits • These proposals will also be ranked within each panel • Subsequently, all Medium proposals above the cut-off,
together with the Large and Treasury proposals, will be jointly reviewed by the TAC
11/8/2012 14 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
UV Initiative
• HST is the only current mission capable of undertaking detailed UV (900-3200 Å) observations.
• These capabilities have a limited lifetime. • New NASA missions targeting UV wavelengths will
not be launched in the near future. • We will implement a special UV initiative for Cycle
21 to emphasize this unique HST resource.
11/8/2012 15 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
UV Initiative (cont.)
• Each panel should aim to devote at least 40% of its orbit allocation to UV-specific science
• The TAC should aim to devote at least 50% of its orbit allocation to UV-specific science
• We will create a category of UV archival proposals, aimed at producing UV-specific high level data products and tools for the Hubble archive.
• These allocations are targets, not quotas. UV-specific proposals recommended for acceptance must meet the usual requirement of high scientific quality set for all successful Hubble proposals.
11/8/2012 16 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Cycle 21 Features (cont.)
• Joint programs, where proposers to the Chandra/Spitzer/XMM-Newton observatories can request joint HST orbits
• Joint Chandra-HST programs: up to 100 orbits • Joint Spitzer-HST programs: up to 60 orbits • Joint XMM-Newton-HST programs: up to 30 orbits • Conversely, proposals with predominantly HST
science can submit HST proposals requesting joint Chandra/Spitzer/XMM-Newton time
11/8/2012 17 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
RA Restrictions
• The RA restrictions imposed in Cycle 20 will be removed. There will be no RA restrictions in Cycle 21.
11/8/2012 18 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Targets of Opportunity • Three categories: Non-disruptive ToOs, which can be
accommodated within the standard scheduling process. Disruptive ToOs (2<t<14 days), which are rapid-response observations that require revision of an existing HST observing schedule. Ultra-rapid ToO programs, requiring a turn-around of <2 days.
• We expect to accept up to ~15 non-disruptive ToOs in C21, ~8 –12 disruptive ToOs, and at most 1 – 2 ultra-rapid ToOs.
• Ultra-rapid ToOs requesting COS, STIS/MAMA and ACS/SBC are not allowed.
11/8/2012 19 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Cycle 21 Tentative Orbit Allocation • Roughly 3200 orbits available for Cycle 21 GO’s • Break-down: 1800 orbits for panels; 400 for medium sized
proposals; 1000 for the TAC • Remaining orbits:
o 190 for Chandra/Spitzer/XMM-Newton o 100 for routine DD o 250 for DD Deep Fields o 250 for calibration o Remainder for carry-over, continuation programs,
and repeats
11/8/2012 20 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Panel Structure • Regular GO programs: 14 panels (same number as in C20) • Planets1/2: local and distant solar systems, exoplanets, debris
disks • Stars 1/2/3: cool and hot stars in any stellar evolutionary
phase, star formation • Stellar Populations 1/2: resolved stellar populations in the
Galaxy and the nearby universe • Galaxies 1/2/3: stellar content of galaxies, ISM in galaxies,
dynamics, galaxy morphology, galaxy evolution • QSO and IGM 1/2: QSOs, AGN, IGM, QSO absorption lines • Cosmology 1/2: cosmology, lensing, GRB, deep surveys
11/8/2012 21 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Panel Structure (cont.)
• Expect roughly 75 proposals per panel • All panels will have roughly the same size • Large/Treasury proposals will be ranked by the TAC • Medium proposals will be ranked by the panels and
reviewed by the TAC • C20: 50 proposals with the TAC; similar number
expected in C21
11/8/2012 22 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Panel Structure (cont.) • Chairs for all 14 panels have been selected and have
agreed to serve • Panel Chairs and three At-Large members will form
the TAC chaired by Debra Elmegreen • Each panel will have 8 Panelists and the Chair • Candidate Panelists are currently being contacted • Pay particular attention to diversity and balance
between senior and junior astronomers
11/8/2012 23 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
TAC Location
• In C20 the review had to be moved to the Crowne Plaza Baltimore North because of the unavailability of meeting rooms at JHU.
• The C21 review will be held earlier to avoid scheduling conflicts with JHU.
• The C21 review will be held on the JHU Homewood campus in the STScI and JHU Physics & Astronomy buildings (like in earlier cycles).
11/8/2012 24 C20 Results and C21 Preparations
Issues for the next STUC Meeting
• Reduction of the standard proprietary time from 12 to 6 months: enabling more rapid follow-up in an epoch of an aging HST
• Introducing a new category of JWST preparatory proposals
• Summary of non-deep field white papers • Potential for additional large programs
