September Fast Turnaround Call for Gemini North

Gemini is keeping our user community busy every month! We are currently accepting Fast Turnaround (FT) proposals for Gemini North, and the next deadline is at 23:59 Hawai‘i Standard Time on 30 September 2020. This month you can apply for MAROON-X, our visiting instrument at Gemini North. Successful proposals from this cycle will stay active in the Queue from November 2020 until January 2021. The FT program has been used to conduct pilot studies, complete the observations for existing data sets, follow up newly discovered objects, and much more. Proposing teams are notified of the decisions typically within a few weeks of the deadline, and data for successful programs can be obtained as early as a week or two after that. For details, please see: http://www.gemini.edu/observing/phase-i/ft/ft-cfp

The monthly FT Call at Gemini South remains on hold until sometime after the restart of science operations in Chile. Updates will be provided on the FT News page.
