Message to #eso users with time allocated in Period 105
Science operations ceased at all #eso observatories in the week following 22 March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdown is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, approved Period 105 programmes are being significantly affected. At this point in time, no robust predictions can be made regarding exactly when operations will resume, but #eso is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to issue updates when appropriate.
Although in accordance with current policies some Period 105 A-ranked Service Mode runs may be carried over into Periods 106-107, observing time lost in Period 105 will not be compensated. If the constraints of your Period 105 programme (e.g. target coordinates and/or time constraints) allow, you may wish to resubmit your accepted Period 105 proposal(s) before the Period 106 deadline of 23 April 2020
Please note that all proposals will be considered on an equal basis. However, in order to help #eso to identify and track resubmissions internally, please enter "Resubmission of accepted P105 proposal." in the Special Remarks field in the p1 proposal submission system.
Please e-mail opo@eso.org if you have any further questions about resubmitting your accepted Period 105 programme.
