INTEGRAL Proposals and AO-News

The latest INTEGRAL AO news from ESA can be found at the INTEGRAL Science Operation Center (ISOC).

AO-10 Long Term Plan published

The AO-10 INTEGRAL Long Term Plan (LTP), providing the best long-term information currently available for the coming AO (which runs from January 1 to December 31, 2013) has been published on the ISOC website. When scheduling, ISOC intends to follow the LTP as closely as possible. We advise observers to check the LTP regularly.

INTEGRAL AO-10 Call for Data Right Proposals

The Director of Science and Robotic Exploration (Prof. Alvaro Gimenez) has released the 10th Announcement of Opportunity for data right proposals with INTEGRAL. This announcement solicits proposals for obtaining data rights to targets within AO-10 observations to be carried out from January 2013 onwards. Proposers from all over the world are welcome to participate. All proposals will be subject to an independent peer review by the INTEGRAL Time Allocation Committee (TAC). The deadline for proposals submission is Friday 28 September 2012, 14:00 CEST (12:00 GMT). More information can be found on ESA's AO-10 Data Right Proposals page.

AO-10: General Program

The INTEGRAL AO-10 General Program, as recommended by the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) and approved on the 12th of June by the ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration (Prof. Alvaro Gimenez), has been released.

INTEGRAL AO-10 Call for Observing Proposals

The Director of Science and Robotic Exploration (Prof. Alvaro Gimenez) has released the 10th Announcement of Opportunity for observing proposals with INTEGRAL. This announcement solicits proposals for observations to be carried out from January 2013 for a period of 12 months. Proposers from all over the world are welcome to participate. All proposals will be subject to an independent peer review by the INTEGRAL Time Allocation Committee (TAC). The deadline for Proposals submission is Friday 20 April 2012, 14:00 CEST. Observing proposals selected for AO-10 will subsequently be open for so-called "data right proposals" via a second Call for Proposals. These associated proposals allow the possibility to obtain data rights on point-like, extended sources or emission features contained in the field of view of accepted observing proposals. More information can be found on ESA's AO-10 Proposals page .

AO-9 Data Right Proposals approved

The ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration, Prof. Alvaro Gimenez, has approved the recommendation of the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) for proposals to obtain data rights for targets within approved AO-9 observations. The proposers have been informed about the TAC decision and about the detailed data rights obtained. An overview of successful AO-9 data rights proposals can be found here.

AO-9: General Program

The INTEGRAL AO-9 General Program, as recommended by the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) and approved on the 5th of July by the ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration (Prof. Alvaro Gimenez), has been released.
