Request for Observing Time
In this page you will find electronic forms to request observing time at CASLEO. If you only want to visit our facilities, please do NOT use these forms. In that case, go to Outreach Activities.
Proposals for observing time allocation for the February 1 - July 31 semester should be submitted until September 30 of the previous year. For the August 1 – January 31 semester, proposals are received until March 31, but always ask about the correct dates since they could change.
Before submitting your request for observing time, please read carefully the section Norms and Regulations.
Here you will find the online form to request observing time for the 2.15m "Jorge Sahade", the HSH, the ASH, and the THG telescopes. The current semester is 2012A.
Bear in mind that the forms are made in LATEX and that the coding corresponding to that package must be used in every field.
For your form to be processed successfully, it must contain at least all the information on the principal investigator.
Next Semester (2012B, August 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013):
The dead line for submit your proposals por the semester 2012B is April 1, 2012.
- If you request observing time for the 2012A semester for your research projects (which are not part of a Ph.D. thesis), you must complete this form (CLOSED).
- If you request observing time for the 2012A semester as part of your Ph.D. research project, you must complete this form (CLOSED).
Current Semester (2012A, February 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012):
- If you request observing time at the Director's discretion during staff time in the current semester (2012A), you must complete this form. Keep in mind that for this type of request CASLEO's Technical Service Staff are given priority during observing nights.
If you have any questions, or if you do not receive confirmation regarding the reception of your proposal, please contact turnos@casleo.gov.ar or mcibeira@casleo.gov.ar.
Service Observing
In order to facilitate the development of research programs, CASLEO offers observers the possibility to request service observing for the JS and ASH telescopes.
If you are interested in requesting this type of service, please contact mcibeira@casleo.gov.ar at least 10 (ten) days in advance before the start of your observing time. As this is an additional service, CASLEO must make the necessary arrangements with some night assistant or astronomer who agrees to make the observations, and must also arrange for transportation and accommodation. The observation service is not always provided by the night assistant on duty, and it is CASLEO's right to accept or reject the provision of this kind of service. To prevent problems, it is convenient to take into account the time limits established.
The charge for each observing night (at least 2 useful hours) will be informed at the time the request is made, and it will be adjusted periodically in line with the current norms.
On the other hand, and given the need to pay the observer immediately after the observations have finished, it is necessary for the interested party to deposit 50% of the total maximum amount to be paid before the start of the observation time. Any potential balance will be paid at the end of the service.
If CASLEO agrees to provide the service, the corresponding amount must be deposited and a file including your observation requirements, charts, instructions, etc. must be submitted. After that, the person in charge of making the observations will contact the interested party directly to arrange the observational details.
Accepted proposals for semester 2011B
2.15 m. "Jorge Sahade" Telescope
Unassigned periods correspond to staff time or to the project "Ocultaciones de estrellas por objetos transneptunianos" of Dr. J. L. Ortiz, which has assigned 1 hour of observing time in the nights of August 06, 20 and 27, September 5, and December 8, 2011, and they are indicated in the list by (**).
