11th Announcement of Opportunity (AO-11) - INTEGRAL
11th Announcement of Opportunity (AO-11)
This Announcement solicits proposals for observations to be carried out in the period from January to December 2014. Following a recommendation by the IUG it is possible to submit Key Programme proposals with observations spanning two AO cycles of observation; for details please see the Mission Overview document.
Observing proposals selected for AO-11 will subsequently be open for so-called "data right proposals" via a second Call for Proposals. These associated proposals allow the possibility to obtain data rights on point-like, extended sources or emission features contained in the field of view of accepted observing proposals.
