The PATT and JMU Telescope Allocation Committees (TACs) have each issued their Call for Proposals for observing time on the Liverpool Telescope in Semester 2027A, which runs from the nights starting 1st March 2027 to 31st August 2027 inclusive.
As always, you may also apply for Reactive Time and Priority Z Time outside of these semester-based applications, at any time throughout the year.
We are now using the browser-based proposal submission system on the New Robotic Telescope (NRT) website. Please click on the Submit Proposal links below, or on the "Proposal Submission" link on the sidebar at left, and follow the instructions. You will need to register an account if you don't have one already. Any queries with this system should be addressed to Phase 1 support.
Please note that we have introduced a new dual-anonymous review system for all proposals this semester, and proposals should be written in a way that maintains the anonymity of the author. See the Phase 1 page for more details.

Total allocation time available, after 24 hours awarded in previous semesters and 20 hours set aside for Reactive Time:
- 281 hours split approximately 50-50 between priority A and B
- 90 hours priority C (backup)
Applications are particularly encouraged for brighter sky conditions, which are typically less subscribed.
PATT accepts proposals from Principal Investigators (PIs) based in the UK. Spanish PIs should apply for LT time through the Comision de Asignacion de Tiempos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (CAT) TAC. Some non-UK and non-Spanish PIs are eligible to apply through the International Scientific Committee (CCI) TAC. Non-UK PIs who are not eligible for CAT or CCI time may apply through PATT.
