TNG Schedule - October 1, 2024 - March 31, 2025
Listed below are the TNG nights scheduled in the semester AOT50/2024B. The allocations for the same period can be found here. Dates indicate the start of night. Visiting observers are requested to read the instructions given here. In case of doubt, please contact our Astronomy Helpdesk.
Other information, hints and warnings useful to prepare the observing run can be found here. Please note that special instructions and time constraints apply to programmes requiring multi-object spectroscopy (DOLORES+MOS), see the dedicated web page.
In case of problems with the scheduling of your programme, please notify the Head of Astronomy as soon as possible.
Note 1: The execution of the observations related
to the proposal A50TAC_19, “Follow-up of the electromagnetic
counterparts of gravitational wave sources at TNG during O4b”, may
have a significant impact on the scheduled programmes.
Note 2: The monitoring of exoplanetary systems
across the semester requires time-sharing
agreements among the approved programmes. Taking into account this
need, two main groups have been identified:
- New GAPS Time. It collects the observing time awarded to the following programmes: A48TAC_66 Sozzetti, A48TAC_48 Benatti, A48TAC_52 Borsa, A50TAC_30 Mantovan, A50TAC_44 Mantovan, A50TAC_47 Guilluy and A50TAC_51 Spinelli.
- HARPS-N Collaboration Time. It collects the time awarded to the following programmes: A48TAC_59 Malavolta, A48TAC_28 Dumusque, A50TAC_20 Aloisi/Mantovan, A50TAC_43 Vissapragada/Naponiello and OPT24B_30 Ulmer-Moll.
