Context: This Samuel Oschin/P48 Telescope Cover Sheet shall be used by eligible proposers to summarize requests for Caltech time on the Samuel Oschin Telescope. This form is designed exclusively for use on desktop computers.
Instructions: Fill in the required information. When finished, save the form on your computer as a PDF document
(click the PRINT button to open the print dialog box on your computer,
then save the form as a PDF)
to be merged with the cover sheet and the discussion section of your proposal.
Our solicitation forms are evolving to add features and hopefully streamline program specification and proposal preparation. The forms are extensively tested with the Chrome browser on multiple platforms, and tested to a lesser extent with Safari and Firefox and Edge.
Some known, browser-specific issues::
Safari may not invoke the print dialog correctly more than once using the PRINT button. In that circumstance we recommend using the browser print command (File→Print).
Firefox does not clear/reset the form properly on refresh. To reset the form to its proper initial state use shift + refresh.
Internet Explorer is not supported and its use is not recommended for these solicitation forms.
Use the COO Feedback page to report other issues or share your feedback on this form.
* 600 characters maximum, unformatted text only, resize box as needed. Abstracts should be a brief synopsis of the scientific program and should not include the details of the observing request (number of nights, etc.).
Proposer Status
Priority
Investigators submitting multiple proposals shall clearly indicate whether this proposal represents their top or primary priority or is of secondary importance in their submissions. Only one proposal should be designated as primary.
Linked to Keck
Indicate if this request is linked to a Keck proposal in this cycle. Relevant for Caltech proposers only.
Linked to P200
Indicate if this request is linked to a P200/Hale proposal in this cycle. Relevant for Caltech proposers only.
Linked to P60
Indicate if this request is linked to a P60 proposal in this cycle. Relevant for Caltech proposers only.
Thesis Project
Date- Specific
Date-specific requests shall provide details in discussion (template section 2.5). Complete the Date-Specific Cover Sheet Supplement, and include it as an addendum to the proposal.#
New/Cont Project
Indicate if this is a new or continuing project request. New requests should estimate the total observing time/semesters for completion in the proposal discussion (template section 3.3). Continuing project proposals should review project status and estimate observing time/semesters needed for completion (template section 3.3). *

Oschin/P48 Telescope Request
The Oschin Telescope is operated as a service-observing instrument, with individual observations
obtained according to scheduling queues established by the telescope manager to achieve maximum efficiency.
Principal Investigators are not at the telescope during observing.
Notes:
The Oschin Telescope is used for direct imaging with the ZTF camera.
Use the table below to enter the requested observing time (in hours) per month.
As a rough guide, 6.0 hours of on-target observing time is equivalent to one night.
Month Summarize the requested time by month (units of hours).
