These pages summarize the current status of all accepted GBT proposals.
Each proposal is classified into one of the following five categories:
- Awaiting Checkout The proposal has
been awarded time by the Time Allocation Committee, but no further action
has been taken. The proposal has not yet been checked and tested for
feasibility of observations. This is the initial state for all proposals.
- Active Checkout The proposal is
actively under investigation for feasibility of observations. In cases where
some or all of the proposed observations are feasible, the proposal will
be moved to the "schedule" queue. If no part of the proposal is currently
feasible (for example, they require a mode which is not yet available) then
the proposal will be placed in the "on hold" queue.
- Schedule At least some part of the proposal
is capable of being scheduled. Proposals remain in this category until
either they are complete, or are returned to the "active checkout" queue
(for those parts of the proposal which were not originally feasible).
- On Hold This category is for proposals which
have been checked for feasibilty, and cannot currently be scheduled.
These will be reviewed periodically, and returned to the "active checkout"
queue to be reassessed when the required capabilities are made available.
- Completed Proposals for which all allocated
observing time has been completed.
The flow of proposals through the various queues is shown graphically below:
