PATT 2006B allocations & change to rank scheme
1700 BST 20 June 2006The PATT allocations for semester 2006B have been finalised. Please refer to the PATT time allocations page for details.
Also, a revised scientific ranking scheme for PATT has been adopted as follows:
|
RANK |
|
DEFINITION |
|
A |
|
High priority programme. The TAC would like to see 100% completion of the observations. |
|
B |
|
Medium priority programme. The TAC would like to see at least the MUF (Minimum Useable Fraction) of observations obtained, provided this does not impact of the completion of priority A programmes. |
|
C |
|
Low priority programmes. These programmes are used to over-subscribe the observing queue so that the telescope is not idle. There is no guarantee that any observations will be obtained. If observations are started for a programme then the scheduling software should aim to obtain at least the MUF of the observations, but not at the expense of 100% completion of priority A or B programmes. |
