A Dual Anonymous Review Process Implemented to Fast Turnaround

Gemini North and South are accepting proposals for the Fast Turnaround (FT) program. Starting from this February cycle, we are implementing a Dual Anonymous Review Process (DARP). Please find more details in the current call for proposals linked here. The upcoming deadline ends at 23:59 Hawai‘i Standard Time on 28 February 2021. Successful proposals from this cycle will stay active in the Queue from April 2021 until June 2021. Please check the telescope schedule for Gemini North and South and their instrument availability for the April-May-June 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.
