Gemini Visiting Instruments: Get In on the Action!
February 20, 2019
Gemini hosts a wide range of exciting visiting instruments every semester at both sites. With unique and diverse capabilities, these instruments enable science that can’t be done anywhere else. In the last two years alone, there have been 30 publications using Gemini visiting instruments, and several press releases or web features! So don’t wait. Make sure you check out the Call for Proposals in March and try your hand at using ‘Alopeke, GRACES, TEXES, Phoenix, POLISH2, or Zorro! Staff and instrument teams are available to answer your questions.
