SIRTF Legacy Science Program Selected (17 November 2000)The SIRTF Science Center (SSC) at the California Institute of Technology, on behalf of NASA and the SIRTF Project Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, announces the selection of projects that will comprise the SIRTF Legacy Science Program. Six investigations were chosen following a competitive scientific review held at the SSC in October. These projects will utilize 3160 hours of SIRTF observing time, primarily in the first year of the mission, to conduct large and coherent science investigations. The processed data and post-pipeline data products from these projects will create substantial databases that will be invaluable for archival research, and in planning subsequent programs on SIRTF or on other space-borne, airborne, and ground-based observatories.See also the Legacy information page.
SSC Receives Legacy Science Proposals (22 September 2000)The SSC received 28 proposals in response to the Legacy Science Call for Proposals. Investigators requested a total of 16,885 hours of SIRTF observing time, an over-subscription of 5.6. The selection of approved projects will be announced in mid- to late November, and the teams will be established and funded by December 2000. A post-selection Legacy Science Workshop will be held at the SSC on January 12-13, 2001 and is timed to immediately follow the semi-annual American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in San Diego. The approved teams will have until April 2001 to submit revisions to their proposed projects, based upon recommendations of the Time Allocation Committee and the SSC Director. The SSC will be submitting a request to the AAS to host a special session at the June 2001 summer meeting in Pasadena, in which the approved teams will describe their observing plans and any post-pipeline data products to be developed for use by the general community.See also the Legacy information page.
Legacy Science Program Letters of Intent (3 August 2000)The SSC received 33 Letters of Intent (LoI) from Principal Investigators proposing to participate in the SIRTF Legacy Science Program. Of this total, 28 teams are led by U.S.-based PIs, although most of the proposing teams include international participation. Legacy Science proposals are due at 5:00 p.m. (PDT), September 15, 2000. Additional details pertaining to the Legacy Science program are available within the online Proposal Kit. The selection of approved projects will be announced in November, and the teams will be established and funded by December 2000. A post-selection Legacy Science Workshop will be held at the SSC on January 12-13, 2001 and is timed to follow the semi-annual American Astronomical Society meeting in San Diego.See also the Legacy information page.
Legacy Science Call for Proposals (Final) IssuedThe second and final version of the SIRTF Legacy Science Call for Proposals (CP) was issued by the SSC on June 30, 2000. The substantive changes from the first (draft) version of the CP, released on April 28, are summarized at the beginning of the final CP. Additional information about the SIRTF Legacy Science Program is available. To plan and propose an investigation, researchers should visit the Proposal Kit in the SSC section of the Web site.
