Guest Observer Program
<-- Return to the Guest Observer Program page
While the state-of-the-art spectrometer is being developed, the NSF-NASA partnership will establish an exoplanet-related Guest Observer research program on the WIYN telescope with existing instrumentation at WIYN. In fact, this GO program is already under way for the second half of 2015 – Semester 2015B. 2015B Semester (for observations from August 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016)
• Call for NASA Exoplanet GO Proposals (due March 31, 2015)
• WIYN schedule for approved programs
• Selected proposals pre-2022B: 2022A, 2021B, 2021A, 2020B, 2020A, 2019B, 2019A, 2018B, 2018A, 2017B, 2017A, 2016B, 2016A, 2015B (below)
