To exploit the full capabilities of NOEMA, proposals must be written with special care. It is of the utmost importance to
provide the following parameters:
- A source list with accurate coordinates.
- A source list with velocities and line width for spectral line observations.
- Observing frequencies.
- Required spatial and spectral resolution, and estimate of required sensitivity.
- For special cases: Required accuracy of the bandpass calibration (e.g., a weak line on a strong continuum, high precision relative
astrometry).
- Dates to be avoided during scheduling, because of sun avoidance (a circle of 32 degree radius), phase stability requirements
(daytime is often difficult in summer), or other reasons (specify).
- Any other stringent constraint (e.g. coordinated observations).
This information is absolutely required to decide about the feasibility of the program, a prerequisite before the program committee
can consider the proposal.
