% FUSE Phase 1 observing proposal LaTeX template (version 8.4) % For Cycle 8 % % Revision date: August 31, 2006. (B-G) % % WHAT, WHERE, AND WHEN TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL %------------------------------------------------------------------------- % Changes in and reminders for this version: % % 1) For Cycle 8 proposals, submission through the NSPIRES system at % NASA, including both cover-page information and the full scientific % justification is now mandatory for ALL proposers. % The filled in LaTeX form (this file) must still, also, be submitted % to fuseprop@pha.jhu.edu % Non-US proposers whose institutions are not registered in the % NSPIRES database may use the "FUSE GI Support Center" as their % proposal submitting organization (see the Phase 1 Instructions). % % 2) A new keyword, \targtype{}, has been introduced in Cycle 8. This % keyword is used to identify targets of differing scientific priority % as well as low declination targets. % % 3) No user constrained observations are allowed in cycle 8. Hence % all Special Requirements (SR) keywords, except TOO, FPSPLIT, SNAP % and SAFTSNP have been removed. With respect to the Target of % Opportunity (TOO) SR note that the response time and observation % characteristics have changed from previous cycles. % (Please see the NRA for details at /http://fusegi.pha.jhu.edu ). % % 4) In the "NASA proposal Number" keyword \nasapropno{}, please enter % the FULL STRING returned by NSPIRES when you submitted the cover % page. % %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- % % With the introduction of the NSPIRES system at NASA Peer Review Services, % there are important differences from previous FUSE cycles in the proposal % submission procedures. % Submittal of the full proposal, including both the web-generated Proposal % Cover Page as well as the full formatted proposal (.pdf form) is now required % for all proposers. % More information about using the NSPIRES system for FUSE Cycle 8 proposals % is available on the FUSE GI web site (http://fusegi.pha.jhu.edu). % % A complete proposal submission consists of three steps: % % 1) Fill in the Cover Page/Proposal Summary and upload the formatted proposal % through the NASA Peer Review Services web site at: % % http://nspires.nasaprs.com % % Please note that THIS SUBMITTAL CANNOT BE DONE BY THE PI, but must be done % by an Authorizing Official at your institution. % Prior to this step, your institution must register at the NSPIRES site. % Please make sure you leave enough time before the proposal deadline % to accomplish the required set-up and review/administrative steps. % % 1b) (Non-US PIs) For non-US proposers, whose institutions are not registered % with NSPIRES, the role of the submitting organization will be filled by % The "FUSE GI Support Center" and the Authorizing Official will be % the FUSE Project Scientist, George Sonneborn, or his designee. % % NOTE - You must register and log in to your NSPIRES account to fill in the % Cover Page or NOI, and to upload the formatted proposal, so don't delay % until the last week before the deadline. % % % 2) Release the proposal to your institution's Authorizing Official and have % them formally submit it to NASA. % % % 3) Email the completed LaTeX proposal form (this file) to % fuseprop@pha.jhu.edu % % Submission of the LaTeX proposal form is REQUIRED for all Guest % Investigator proposals. % % Note that for Cycle 8, hard-copy submission is no longer required % (or accepted). % % The preferred method of preparing the formatted submission is to process the % LaTeX form provided below (together with the "fuse8.sty" file). % However, users may prepare their formatted proposal using other tools, % as long as the formatting strictly follows the instructions in section 2 % of the FUSE NRA. In any event, the ASCII LaTeX form, provided herein, MUST % BE FILLED OUT AND SUBMITTED BY EMAIL regardless of the method used to % prepare the formatted proposal. % % Please see the NRA for the Cycle 8 proposal due date. % % % INSTRUCTIONS %--------------- % Detailed instructions for filling out this proposal form can % be found at the FUSE GI website (http://fusegi.pha.jhu.edu) % in a document called "FUSE Phase 1 Proposal Instructions" updated for Cycle 8. % % LATEX %--------- % All of the information to be provided in the form below should % be inserted within the curly braces "{}", or as text blocks % after a template keyword (a keyword is preceded by a backslash % character; example, \justification). Comment lines start with % the "%" sign and can be added at will, but will NOT show up in the % formatted proposal or be processed by FUSE Mission Planning software. % You may remove any explanatory comments in this file or leave them in, % as you wish; they are here only for your convenience. % % PostScript figures may be included in the formatted output by using % the \plotone command. Insert the following into your LaTeX file: % \begin{figure}[h] % \plotone{foo.eps} % \caption{} % \end{figure} % where "foo.eps" is an Encapsulated PostScript file you have created. % The figure will be scaled to a width of 95% of the width of the text. % If you have a tall, narrow figure, you can scale it to a smaller % fraction of the text with with \epsscale{fraction}. For example: % \epsscale{0.5}\plotone{foo.eps} % scales the figure to half of the text width. Use \plottwo to plot % two figures side-by-side, as in % \plottwo{foo1.eps}{foo2.eps} % % NOTE - Please do not use colons in any text blocks in the proposal % (such as "Scientific Justification", "Feasibility and Safety", etc.), % as this causes problems when interpreted by the parser software. Colons % are required inside the coordinate key-words \ra{} and \dec{} % % Proposers who wish to incorporate graphics using other techniques % (e.g., with the commands provided with the Latex 2e graphics package, % with the PSFIG macros, etc.) are free to do so, but JHU cannot provide % any support or advice to those who choose these approaches. % % DO NOT submit the postscript figure with your LaTeX proposal file via % email! Only the LaTeX file is needed for parsing into a database. % % For more information on LaTeX, see the LaTeX manual by Leslie Lamport, % "LaTeX, A Document Preparation System, User's Guide and Reference Manual", % 1994, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. % %---------------------------------------------------------------------- % LaTeX template begins here: Numbered headings correspond to listing % of detailed instructions in section 3 of the Phase 1 Proposal % Instructions document. %---------------------------------------------------------------------- % DO NOT DELETE THE NEXT TWO LINES \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{fuse8} % If you want to add any personal LaTeX definitions, please add them % here before the \begin{document} command \begin{document} % 1.

Observation Summary Information % The `totalobstime' is the total requested on-target integration time in % kiloseconds for all targets in the program. (See notes in the Phase 1 % Proposal Instructions on handling short exposure times and SAFTSNPs.) % The `totalobjects' keyword indicates the number of independent positions % on the sky you wish to observe.

This keyword is also used to identify low declination targets to be % observed if and when this capabillity is again available. % The four options are A: the scientifically most important targets, % which will be allowed to drive the FUSE scheduling and may significantly % impact the observing efficiency. Only a limited number and total exposure % time will be allowed of this target type. B: Regular STANDARD program- % category targets, C: targets below the nominally accessible Declination % range (|dec|>50deg) and D: SURVEY program-category targets. % % Change by commenting out B and un-commenting other.
