AO-21 Observations Approved

18 January 2024

The INTEGRAL AO-21 General Programme, as recommended by the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) and approved by ESA's Director of Science (Prof. Carole Mundell), has been released and the observers have been informed.

AO-21 Call for Observing Proposals is Open

4 Sepember 2023

INTEGRAL AO-21 solicits proposals for observations to be carried out from January 2024. 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 proposal submission is Friday 29 September 2023, 14:00 CEST.

Release of AO-21 - call for observing time proposals:   September 4, 2023
Deadline for submission of observing time proposals:   September 29, 2023 (14:00 CEST)
Start of AO-21 cycle of observations:   January 1, 2024

AO-20 Observations Approved

15 December 2022

Change in Russian Federation data rights

13 January 2016

Last year, the Russian Advisory Committee (RAC) for INTEGRAL agreed with proposed changes to the data rights policy with regard to Russian Federation proposals in AO-13. Data or science rights to the targets or science in the field of view (FOV) of the instruments proposed by the PIs from the Russian Federation and accepted by the TAC will be allocated to these PIs with the usual 1-year proprietary period. However, the rest of the field will be made public to the community at-large through the consolidated data programme, i.e., having a policy similar to that for non-Russian Federation proposals. Russian PIs still have exceptional access to the near-real time data of their observations. This policy change is in effect from January 1. Note that the guaranteed return to the Russian science community from the open time programme stays 25%.

Prior AOs

The observing schedules and lists of approved targets for AO-1 to AO-20 are available from ESA's INTEGRAL web site. The AO-1 through AO-19 observing targets are also listed in the INTEGRAL Observing Program Catalog (INTEGRALAO) in the HEASARC INTEGRAL archive. It is searchable using either Browse or Xamin.
