EUVE EPISODE 8 CALL FOR OBSERVING PROPOSALS

Release Date: 11 August 1999
Letters of Intent Due: 15 September 1999
Proposals Due: 13 October 1999
===========================================

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Observatory at 
the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) has issued 
a call for EUVE observing proposals for Episode 8 for 
observations to be scheduled approximately March 2000
through February 2001. Letters of Intent are due midnight
PDT, Wednesday, 15 September 1999.  Proposals are due 
midnight PDT, Wednesday, 13 October 1999. 

EUVE is a NASA Explorer-class satellite mission devoted
entirely to observations in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) 
wavelength range from 70 to 760 Angstrom.  EUVE has 
carried out an all-sky survey in four photometric EUV 
bandpasses, detecting over 1000 new EUV sources. Through 
a GO program over 400 sources have been observed 
spectroscopically.

Time during Episode 8 will be made available to the
astrophysics community through a peer-review process.  
It is expected that this will be the last EUVE call for 
proposals.  

For Episode 8, the EUVE Science Advisory Board is
encouraging the submission and scheduling of large observing 
programs with long exposure blocks (900 ksecs or longer). 
Coordinated observations (i.e. those proposals that include 
targets to be observed by EUVE and another orbiting satellite
such as ASCA, AXAF, FUSE, HST, etc.) are also being encouraged.  
Smaller non-coordinated observing programs will still be 
considered on a time-availability basis, but the bulk of the 
Episode 8 observing time will be awarded to larger and/or 
coordinated observing proposals.

Proposals are being accepted through the Center for EUV
Astrophysics' web-based proposal submission system at:
