UV Initiative


•  A UV initiative has been introduced to ensure the unique UV capabilities of HST are fully utilized while they still exist.

•  The initiative uses orbit allocation targets to increase the share of primary GO observing time dedicated to UV observations.

•  There is a category of UV archival proposals, aimed at producing UV-specific high-level data products and tools for the Hubble archive, which will enable broader use of those datasets by the community.

UV Initiative (cont.)


•  Each panel should aim to devote at least 40% of its orbit allocation to UV-specific science.

•  The TAC should aim to devote at least 50% of its orbit allocation to UV-specific science.

•  These allocations are targets, not quotas. UV-specific proposals recommended for acceptance must meet the usual requirement of high scientific quality set for all successful Hubble proposals.

•  Proposals in this category are flagged as “UV Initiative” in APT.

•  We received 372 GO’s for 10,088 orbits and 30 AR’s.

Medium Proposals

•  New proposal category in Cycle 21: Medium GO Programs are those that request between 35 and 74 orbits

•  Received 109 Medium proposals requesting 5044 orbits

•  Large GO Programs: requesting more than 74 orbits (99 orbits in previous cycles

•  Small GO Programs: up to 34 orbits


Medium Proposals (cont.)

•  Roughly 3200 orbits available for Cycle 21 GO’s •  For comparison: 2800 orbits in Cycle 20 •  Break-down:

o  900 orbits for the TAC (Large and Treasury) o  1800 orbits for the 14 Panels (Regular GO with

<35 orbits) o  500 orbits for medium-sized proposals (35 – 74

orbits)


Medium Proposals (cont.)

•  Medium proposals will be reviewed by the panels and ranked together scientifically with the Small proposals

•  The panels will not be charged any orbits for them. •  Those lying above the cutoff line will proceed to the

TAC for assessment alongside the Large Programs. •  The TAC will then decide which Medium Programs are

recommended for approval. •  This system replaces the orbit subsidy that has been in

use for medium-sized proposals in recent cycles.
