All proposals must be submitted using the MeerKAT Proposal Submission System (PSS). Prior to submitting a proposal, please ensure that you have done the following at the preparation stage:
Read the /wiki/spaces/ESDKB/pages/1600979011 MeerKAT Call for Observing Proposals and followed its relevant guidelines.
Familiarised yourself with large active/previous MeerKAT projects and searched the MeerKAT archive, to ensure that your proposed science case and/or targets do not unduly overlap with active projects; it’s also possible that the data or data products you require for your science are already publicly available on our archive or repository of data releases.
Performed sensitivity calculations to support the time request for your proposed observations.
Simulated your observations using the Observation Planning Tool if you are uncertain about the overheads.
Contacted the relevant leads if requesting beamformed observations on User Supplied Equipment.
...
Input the names, email addresses, affiliations and countries of all the members of the project. This includes the Principal Investigator*, all Co-investigators* and the Technical Lead*. As relevant also indicate whether the proposal is a core component of a PhD thesis.
