ISOC is preparing the next call for proposals requesting INTEGRAL observing time. The AO-11 release will be on 4 March 2013, deadline 12 April 2013. The subsequent call for proposals requesting data rights will be released September 2013. The AO-11 cycle of observations will begin on 1 January 2014 and has a duration of 12 months.

AO-10 Long Term Plan published

The AO-10 INTEGRAL Long Term Plan (LTP), providing the best long-term information currently available for the coming AO (which runs from January 1 to December 31, 2013) has been published on the ISOC website. When scheduling, ISOC intends to follow the LTP as closely as possible. We advise observers to check the LTP regularly.

INTEGRAL AO-10 Call for Data Right Proposals

The Director of Science and Robotic Exploration (Prof. Alvaro Gimenez) has released the 10th Announcement of Opportunity for data right proposals with INTEGRAL. This announcement solicits proposals for obtaining data rights to targets within AO-10 observations to be carried out from January 2013 onwards. Proposers from all over the world are welcome to participate. All proposals will be subject to an independent peer review by the INTEGRAL Time Allocation Committee (TAC).

INTEGRAL AO-10 Call for Observing Proposals

The Director of Science and Robotic Exploration (Prof. Alvaro Gimenez) has released the 10th Announcement of Opportunity for observing proposals with INTEGRAL. This announcement solicits proposals for observations to be carried out from January 2013 for a period of 12 months. Proposers from all over the world are welcome to participate. All proposals will be subject to an independent peer review by the INTEGRAL Time Allocation Committee (TAC). The deadline for Proposals submission is Friday 20 April 2012, 14:00 CEST. Observing proposals selected for AO-10 will subsequently be open for so-called "data right proposals" via a second Call for Proposals. These associated proposals allow the possibility to obtain data rights on point-like, extended sources or emission features contained in the field of view of accepted observing proposals. More information can be found on ESA's AO-10 Proposals page .

The observing schedules and lists of approved targets for AO-1 to AO-8 are available from ESA's INTEGRAL web site. The AO-1 and AO-2 observing targets are also listed in the INTEGRAL Observing Program Catalog in the HEASARC INTEGRAL archive. It is searchable using Browse.
