Very Large Array (VLA) https://go.nrao.edu/vla-oss Up-to-date information on offered VLA capabilities are available at http://go.nrao.edu/vla-capabilities Required fields for Swift-NRAO joint proposals requesting VLA time: o VLA Hours Specify the total number of hours requested on the VLA. Specify values in 0.1-hour increments up to a maximum of 200.0 hours. Leave this field blank if you are not requesting VLA time. o VLA Configurations (for more details, see https://go.nrao.edu/vla-res) Indicate the VLA configuration from the following possible choices: VLA-A VLA-B VLA-C VLA-D VLA-Any o VLA Wavelength (for more details, see https://go.nrao.edu/vla-frq) Indicate the VLA wavelength (receiver band) from the following possible choices: 400 cm (4m-band) 90 cm (P-band) 20 cm (L-band) 13 cm (S-band) 6 cm (C-band) 3 cm (X-band) 2 cm (Ku-band) 1.3 cm (K-band) 1 cm (Ka-band) 0.7 cm (Q-band) o VLA Sources Indicate the sources, including their Right Ascension and Declination (if not specified elsewhere), to be observed with the VLA. Also indicate which sources are to be grouped together into observing sessions. o VLA Sensitivity (for more details, see https://go.nrao.edu/ect) What are the required VLA on-target-source time and sensitivity (the RMS noise level) to achieve the science goal? o VLA Scheduling Please detail any scheduling constraints. For example: Do the VLA observations need to be coordinated with Swift or another telescope? If this is monitoring, what is the cadence? Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) https://go.nrao.edu/vlba-oss Up-to-date information on offered VLBA capabilities are available at http://go.nrao.edu/vlba-capabilities Required fields for Swift-NRAO joint proposals requesting VLBA time: o VLBA Hours Specify the total number of hours requested on the VLBA. Specify values in 0.1-hour increments up to a maximum of 200.0 hours. Leave this field blank if you are not requesting VLBA time. o VLBA Wavelength (https://go.nrao.edu/vlba-frq) Indicate the VLBA wavelength (receiver band) from the following possible choices: 90 cm (P-band) 50 cm (610-band) 21/18 cm (L-band) 13 cm (S-band) 6 cm (C-band) 4 cm (X-band) 2 cm (U-band) 1 cm (K-band) 7 mm (Q-band) 3 mm (W-band) o VLBA Stations (https://go.nrao.edu/vlba-sites) Specify the minimum number of VLBA stations acceptable, and if any of the ten VLBA stations are required. o VLBA Sources Indicate the sources, including their Right Ascension and Declination (if not specified elsewhere), to be observed with the VLBA. Also indicate which sources are to be grouped together into observing sessions. o VLBA Sensitivity (for more details, see https://go.nrao.edu/vlba-expcalc) What are the required VLBA on-target-source time and sensitivity (the RMS noise level) to achieve the science goal? o VLBA Scheduling Please detail any scheduling constraints. For example: Do the VLBA observations need to be coordinated with Swift or another telescope? If this is monitoring, what is the cadence? Green Bank Telescope (GBT) Please see the latest call for proposals for GBT capabilities, receiver availability, and other constraints. https://greenbankobservatory.org/science/gbt-observers/proposals/ Required fields for Swift-GBO joint proposals requesting GBT time: o GBT Hours Specify the total number of hours requested on the GBT. Specify values in 0.25-hour increments. Leave this field blank if you are not requesting GBT time. o GBT Receiver(s) Indicate the GBT receiver band(s). See the latest GBT proposal call for available receivers. https://greenbankobservatory.org/science/gbt-observers/proposals/ o GBT Sources Indicate the sources, including their Right Ascension and Declination (if not specified elsewhere), to be observed by the GBT. Also indicate which sources are to be grouped together into observing sessions. o GBT Sensitivity Calculation (for more details, see https://dss.gb.nrao.edu/calculator-ui/war/Calculator_ui.html) and overhead time estimates. o GBT Mapping. If mapping, excluding Mustang2, include the results of the GBT Mapping Calculator: (https://www.gb.nrao.edu/~rmaddale/GBT/GBTMappingCalculator.html). o GBT Scheduling Please detail any scheduling constraints. For example: Do the GBT observations need to be coordinated with Swift or another telescope? If this is monitoring, what is the cadence?
