First VLT Call for Proposals
Abstract
On 1 August 1998, ESO will release the Period 63 call for proposals for all ESO telescopes. For the first time this will include the 8.2-m Unit Telescope 1 of the VLT. The deadline for proposals will be 1 October 1998 for all telescopes which represents an increase of one month in the preparation period from previous rounds. The OPC will meet in the first week of December 1998 for both UT1 and La Silla telescopes (see the box “Scientific Evaluation of VLT-UT1 Proposals” in this issue). Period 63 operations will commence on 1 April 1999. Proposals for Period 64 will be called for on 1 February 1999 and close 1 April 1999.
