Current call for proposals

Proposals for observations using CARMA during the period 1 January to 30 June 2008 are due on 13 September 2007. CARMA comprises 15 antennas operating at 1mm and 3mm on a 2200m elevation site, Cedar Flat, in the Inyo Mountains of California. Proposals will be accepted for the B, C, and D antenna configurations. These configurations have resolution 0.35", 0.8", 2" at 230 GHz.

CARMA is operated by the Universities of California (Berkeley), Illinois, and Maryland, and the California Institute of Technology, under a cooperative agreement with the University Radio Observatory program of the National Science Foundation. Approximately 30% of the observing time will be awarded to PIs outside the partner universities.

Proposals should be submitted using the electronic form here (site active mid-August) before 17:00 CDT 13 September, 2007. Detailed information, including sensitivities and proposal submission instructions, are available below. Questions may also be addressed to Dr. Douglas Bock (dbock @ mmarray.org).

Note: CARMA is still under development. From time to time during this period, system upgrades may impact our ability to schedule all advertised combinations of wavelength and array configurations.
