Cycle 21 Proposal Review Schedule

•  12/5/12: Call for Proposals release •  3/01/13: Phase I Proposal deadline •  3/25/13: Proposals made available to reviewers •  5/09/13: Preliminary grades due •  5/13/13 – 5/18/13: Panels and TAC meet •  5/24/13: Notifications sent out •  6/27/13: Phase 2 and Budget deadlines

11/8/2012 12 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Cycle 21 Features

•  Cycle 21 will start on 10/1/13 and end on 9/30/14 •  All five instruments will be offered (if operational):

ACS, COS, FGS, STIS, WFC3 •  The same proposal categories as in C20 will be

offered, with an additional “Medium” category •  “Large” proposals request more than 74 orbits

11/8/2012 13 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Medium Sized Proposals

•  Medium sized proposals request 35 – 74 orbits •  Panels tend to be reluctant to recommend medium sized

proposals because of the orbit cost •  In C21 we introduce a new category of “Medium”

proposals which request between 35 and 74 orbits •  These proposals will also be ranked within each panel •  Subsequently, all Medium proposals above the cut-off,

together with the Large and Treasury proposals, will be jointly reviewed by the TAC

11/8/2012 14 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

UV Initiative

•  HST is the only current mission capable of undertaking detailed UV (900-3200 Å) observations.

•  These capabilities have a limited lifetime. •  New NASA missions targeting UV wavelengths will

not be launched in the near future. •  We will implement a special UV initiative for Cycle

21 to emphasize this unique HST resource.

11/8/2012 15 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

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

•  We will create a category of UV archival proposals, aimed at producing UV-specific high level data products and tools for the Hubble archive.

•  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.

11/8/2012 16 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Cycle 21 Features (cont.)

•  Joint programs, where proposers to the Chandra/Spitzer/XMM-Newton observatories can request joint HST orbits

•  Joint Chandra-HST programs: up to 100 orbits •  Joint Spitzer-HST programs: up to 60 orbits •  Joint XMM-Newton-HST programs: up to 30 orbits •  Conversely, proposals with predominantly HST

science can submit HST proposals requesting joint Chandra/Spitzer/XMM-Newton time

11/8/2012 17 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

RA Restrictions

•  The RA restrictions imposed in Cycle 20 will be removed. There will be no RA restrictions in Cycle 21.

11/8/2012 18 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Targets of Opportunity •  Three categories: Non-disruptive ToOs, which can be

accommodated within the standard scheduling process. Disruptive ToOs (2<t<14 days), which are rapid-response observations that require revision of an existing HST observing schedule. Ultra-rapid ToO programs, requiring a turn-around of <2 days.

•  We expect to accept up to ~15 non-disruptive ToOs in C21, ~8 –12 disruptive ToOs, and at most 1 – 2 ultra-rapid ToOs.

•  Ultra-rapid ToOs requesting COS, STIS/MAMA and ACS/SBC are not allowed.

11/8/2012 19 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Cycle 21 Tentative Orbit Allocation •  Roughly 3200 orbits available for Cycle 21 GO’s •  Break-down: 1800 orbits for panels; 400 for medium sized

proposals; 1000 for the TAC •  Remaining orbits:

o  190 for Chandra/Spitzer/XMM-Newton o  100 for routine DD o  250 for DD Deep Fields o  250 for calibration o  Remainder for carry-over, continuation programs,

and repeats

11/8/2012 20 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Panel Structure •  Regular GO programs: 14 panels (same number as in C20) •  Planets1/2: local and distant solar systems, exoplanets, debris

disks •  Stars 1/2/3: cool and hot stars in any stellar evolutionary

phase, star formation •  Stellar Populations 1/2: resolved stellar populations in the

Galaxy and the nearby universe •  Galaxies 1/2/3: stellar content of galaxies, ISM in galaxies,

dynamics, galaxy morphology, galaxy evolution •  QSO and IGM 1/2: QSOs, AGN, IGM, QSO absorption lines •  Cosmology 1/2: cosmology, lensing, GRB, deep surveys

11/8/2012 21 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Panel Structure (cont.)

•  Expect roughly 75 proposals per panel •  All panels will have roughly the same size •  Large/Treasury proposals will be ranked by the TAC •  Medium proposals will be ranked by the panels and

reviewed by the TAC •  C20: 50 proposals with the TAC; similar number

expected in C21

11/8/2012 22 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Panel Structure (cont.) •  Chairs for all 14 panels have been selected and have

agreed to serve •  Panel Chairs and three At-Large members will form

the TAC chaired by Debra Elmegreen •  Each panel will have 8 Panelists and the Chair •  Candidate Panelists are currently being contacted •  Pay particular attention to diversity and balance

between senior and junior astronomers

11/8/2012 23 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

TAC Location

•  In C20 the review had to be moved to the Crowne Plaza Baltimore North because of the unavailability of meeting rooms at JHU.

•  The C21 review will be held earlier to avoid scheduling conflicts with JHU.

•  The C21 review will be held on the JHU Homewood campus in the STScI and JHU Physics & Astronomy buildings (like in earlier cycles).

11/8/2012 24 C20 Results and C21 Preparations

Issues for the next STUC Meeting

•  Reduction of the standard proprietary time from 12 to 6 months: enabling more rapid follow-up in an epoch of an aging HST

•  Introducing a new category of JWST preparatory proposals

•  Summary of non-deep field white papers •  Potential for additional large programs
