AO-17 Call for Observing Proposals is Open

25 February 2019

INTEGRAL AO-17 solicits proposals for observations to be carried out from January 2020 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 proposal submission is Friday 5 April 2019, 14:00 CEST.

Release of AO-17 - call for observing time proposals:   Februry 25, 2019
Deadline for submission of observing time proposals:   April 5, 2019 (14:00 CEST)
Meeting of the Time Allocation Committee:   May 13-15, 2019
Start of AO-17 cycle of observations:   January 1, 2019

AO-16 Observations Approved

27 June 2018

The INTEGRAL AO-16 General Programme, as recommended by the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) and approved by ESA's Director of Science (Prof. Günther Hasinger), has been released and the observers have been informed.

AO-15 Observations Underway

19 January 2018

The AO-15 cycle of observations started on January 1st and will last 12 months, see the INTEGRAL target lists and sky maps for details as well as the long-term plan.

AO-15 Observations Approved

The INTEGRAL AO-15 General Programme, as recommended by the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) and approved by ESA's Director of Science (Prof. Alvaro Giménez), has been released and the observers have been informed.

Change in Russian Federation data rights

13 January 2016

Last year, the Russian Advisory Committee (RAC) for INTEGRAL agreed with proposed changes to the data rights policy with regard to Russian Federation proposals in AO-13. Data or science rights to the targets or science in the field of view (FOV) of the instruments proposed by the PIs from the Russian Federation and accepted by the TAC will be allocated to these PIs with the usual 1-year proprietary period. However, the rest of the field will be made public to the community at-large through the consolidated data programme, i.e., having a policy similar to that for non-Russian Federation proposals. Russian PIs still have exceptional access to the near-real time data of their observations. This policy change is in effect from January 1. Note that the guaranteed return to the Russian science community from the open time programme stays 25%.

Prior AOs

The observing schedules and lists of approved targets for AO-1 to AO-13 are available from ESA's INTEGRAL web site. The AO-1 through AO-13 observing targets are also listed in the INTEGRAL Observing Program Catalog (INTEGRALAO) in the HEASARC INTEGRAL archive. It is searchable using either Browse or Xamin.
