The 2024 Open Call for Proposals is now OPEN. |
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:
...
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.
...
Abstract (no more than 250 words).
Scientific categories (no more than three), and observation category. This helps allocate scientific reviewers to proposals.
Observation category. This helps during science as well as feasibility reviews.
Spectral line: Includes both 32K wideband as well as narrowband modes. While we understand that many observations will also make use of the continuum data for supporting or commensal science, select this if the spectral line observation forms an important part of the science case.
Continuum: Select this if your primary science case does not require high spectral resolution.
Image plane time domain: This refers to observations of slower transients that will be imaged using visibilities from the standard correlator modes.
Pulsars and fast transients: Select this category if you are going to be making use of User Supplied Equipment.
Proposal type category: Please refer to the Call document for definitions of the proposal types and time limits. Note that all categories can be Multi-year proposals .
Regular
Large: Large proposals must include details of pilot studies conducted prior to submitting this proposal.
XLP: eXtra Large Proposals must have replied to the expression of interest survey.
Multi-year: Need not necessarily be a Large proposal or XLP and this indicates the number of years (2 - 4) that the proposal runs over.
