1. KVN Call for Proposals (VLBI)

============================

Call for Proposals 2019B (KVN VLBI)

============================

The Korean VLBI Network (KVN) invites proposals for open-use VLBI observations during the 2019B season. Observations of successful proposals will be scheduled between 16th August 2019 and 15th January 2020. Proposals should be submitted to the KVN website (https://kvn.kasi.re.kr) before the deadline of 3 June 2019, UT 08:00 (KST 17:00).

 Korean VLBI Network (KVN)

The Korean VLBI Network (KVN) is a dedicated mm-VLBI network, operated by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI, http://www.kasi.re.kr). Its three 21m radio telescopes are located around South Korea in Seoul, Ulsan, and Jeju Island. The baseline length ranges from 305 km to 476 km and its 4-channel receiving system allows simultaneous observation at 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz. Higher than 1 Gbps recording rates (e.g., 2, 4 and 8 Gbps) using Mark6 recorder are also available. Total time of 300 hours is allocated for the 2019B season. The maximum observation time for a proposal is limited to 100 hours. If requested, the observation time can allocated over a year until 15th June 2020, however, the total observation time is still limited to 100 hours even in this case. Details of information and current status of the KVN can be found in the KVN VLBI Status Report (https://radio.kasi.re.kr/kvn/status_report_2019/array.html).

Proposers should use the KVN VLBI observing application form which is available at the KVN website. Please carefully follow the instructions of the proposal form. A separate scientific and technical justification is mandatory. This Justification should be submitted together with the proposal form and not exceed 3 pages.

2. KVN Call for Proposal (Single Dish)

============================

Call for Proposals 2019B (Single Dish)

============================

The Korean VLBI Network (KVN, http://kvn.kasi.re.kr/) invites scientific proposals for single dish observations for the 2019B season from Korean astronomical community. Observations of successful proposals will be scheduled between 16th August 2019 and 15th January 2020. Proposals should be submitted to the KVN website (https://kvn.kasi.re.kr) before the deadline of 3 June 2019, UT 08:00 (KST 17:00).

The Korean VLBI Network (KVN) is operated by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI, http://www.kasi.re.kr). Its three 21m radio telescopes are located in Seoul, Ulsan and Jeju Island. Both spectral and continuum observation modes are supported. Available frequency bands are 22, 43, 86, and 129 GHz and simultaneous observation of the four frequency bands is also possible. For each KVN telescope, 300 hours of single dish observation time is available for the 2019B season. Therefore, total available time is about 900 hours.

Details of the information and current status of the KVN can be found at https://radio.kasi.re.kr/kvn/status_report_2019/array.html.

Proposers should use the KVN single dish application form which is available at the KVN website. Please carefully follow the instructions on the proposal form. A separate scientific and technical justification is mandatory. This Justification should be submitted together with the proposal form and not exceed 3 pages.
