Fast Turnaround Proposals

Gemini North and South are accepting proposals for the Fast Turnaround (FT) program. As of the prior FT cycle (Feb 2021), all submitted FT proposals must be consistent with the policies of the Dual Anonymous Review Process (DARP), as described in the Call for Proposals (linked below). The upcoming deadline ends at 23:59 Hawai‘i Standard Time on 31 March 2021. Successful proposals from this cycle will stay active in the Queue from May 2021 until July 2021. Please check the telescope schedule for Gemini North and South and their instrument availability for the May-June-July cycle. The FT program has been used to conduct pilot studies, complete observations for existing data sets, follow-up on newly discovered objects, and much more. Proposing teams are typically notified within a few weeks of the deadline, and data for successful programs can be obtained as early as a week or two after that.
