The provisional schedule for RXTE Cycle 7 is as follows:
FOR CYCLE 7, PROPOSAL SUBMISSION WILL BE FULLY ELECTRONIC.
NO hardcopies need be sent by postal mail for participation in this
Cycle. RPS submission
of the cover forms is still required. In
addition, the cover forms and scientific justifications should be
submitted electronically as PostScript files.
To submit electronically, PIs should:
where
e.g.: 017_asmale_f.ps, 017_asmale_sj.ps
Here, we list other factors that potential RXTE proposers
should be aware of. Aside from updating the Cycle number, this
section is basically unchanged from Cycles 5 and 6.
The Announcement, Appendices A, C, and D, and the Technical Appendix
are also available via anonymous FTP at rxte.gsfc.nasa.gov
in the directory
xte/nra.
Please note that:
The RXTE Cycle 7 Peer Review will take place in late 2001.
The exact location and dates have not yet been finalized.
Reviewers must have a PhD at the time of the Peer Review.
If you would like to be considered as a
reviewer, please email Mike Arida at
peer_review@rosserv.gsfc.nasa.gov.
For all sources with total PCA count rates less than 1200/s (including
all extragalactic observations) and HEXTE count rates less than 80/s,
the SOC strongly recommends that
proposers use the following set of instrument configurations:
Note that RPS does not allow one to leave an EA
unused. In this case one has to explicitly specify "Idle".
Use defaults for all other HEXTE parameters.
Note that this advice does not relieve the proposer from the
obligation of providing estimates for the expected event count rates.
In these cases there is no need to run recommd or elaborately justify
the chosen configurations.
