CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Cycle 15 Peer Review  June 2013, Hilton Logan Airport  No major changes in Cycle 15  13 topical panels, 1 BPP (LPs, XVPs)  XVP Panel:  Pundits: met Wed, voted and wrote reports  Program as last year:  Tues, Wed: topical panels (+XVP)  Thurs, Frid: BPP (+ initial organizational session Wed evening)  Reviewer Stats: 110 reviewers, including 5 pundits, 13 chairs

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Cycle 15: Final Proposal Statistics  636 proposals submitted: GO 450 LP 62 XVP 16 Archive 69 (72, Cyc 14) Theory 39 (53, Cyc 14)  179 approved  Oversubscription (time): 5.3  Time allocation: 20 Ms

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Cycle 15 Proposal Statistics (cont) Time allocation: Total Time: 20 Ms LP: 3.6 Ms XVP: 5 Ms

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Archive/Theory Results Archive:  Budget: $1050K  Allocated $1069K (17)  Over-subscription: 4.3 Theory: Budget: $600K Allocated: $612K (8) Over-subscription: 4.5

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Over-subscription of proposals ~300ks  LP lower time limit is 300 ks, how successful are proposals just below this line?  Compared success rate (requested/accepted proposals) for proposals with total requested time between 0 and 500 ks  ks proposals: comparable or higher acceptance rate than small LPs comparable or lower acceptance rate than small GOs

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office X-ray Visionary Projects (XVP) Cycle 16:  16 proposals submitted, time range: 1-4 Ms  Total request: 32.1 Ms (6.4* over-subscribed)  2 allocated, for 2,4 Ms, range of science topics: The Chandra Deep Field South: A Peerless Ultradeep Survey for Exploring the Distant X-ray Universe (3 Ms, PI: Brandt) The Tarantula – Revealed by X-rays (T-ReX): A definitive Chandra Investigation of 30 Doradus (2 Ms: PI Townsley) Process (as last cycle):  XVP panel (5 pundits) discussed all proposals and brought recommendations to BPP  Topical panels discussed XVPs and LPs, as usual  Final decisions made by BPP after discussion of highest-ranked proposals

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office XVP Projects from Cycles 13,14 Cycle 14, 4 proposals approved: COSMOS sky survey expansion 1.7 deg 2 to 160 ks (2.8 Ms, PI Civano) Planck z<0.35 cluster survey, to complete 165 (1 Ms, PI Jones) SMC: deep study of low Z populations (1.1 Ms, PI Zezas) PWNe: deep observations of Relativistic Schocks (1.3 Ms, PI Romani) Cycle 13, 4 proposals approved: Resolve the Accretion Flow of Gas Captured by a Supermassive Black Hole in NGC3115 (1 Ms, PI Irwin) Chandra HETG Ultra-deep Gratings Spectroscopy of Sgr A* (CHUGSS) (3 Ms, PI Baganoff) The Cosmic Melting Pot in the Virialization Region of Rich Cluster, A133 (2 Ms, Vikhlinin) Cosmology and Cluster Evolution from the 80 Most Massive Clusters in the SPT Survey (2 Ms, Benson)

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Future of X-ray Visionary Projects  Cycle 16 time allocation significantly lower: 19.5 Ms: GO 12 Ms (11-12 Ms since Cycle 5) LP 4 Ms (3-4 Ms since Cycle 3) XVP 2.5 Ms (not enough)  Proposal for future XVP calls: Retain current time allocations for GO, LP Include 2 Ms of Cycle 17 time → 5.5 Ms XVP Observations (if unconstrained) scheduled during Cycles 16, 17 No XVP call in Cycle 17 Review XVP call in advance of Cycle 18

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Cycle 16: Planned Schedule CfP, POG etc. release: 12 Dec 2013 Proposal Deadline: 13 Mar 2014 Peer Review: June 2014 Results: 18 July 2014 E-letters: by 15 August 2014 Cost Deadline: 17 Sept 2014

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Cycle 16: Joint Programs  Continued: HST, Spitzer, XMM-Newton, NOAO, NRAO, Suzaku  New in Cycle 16: NuSTAR: 500 ks, subject to SR2014  Possible in the future: NRAO/ALMA: discussions concerning adding ALMA and a time-exchange continue

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Senior Review 2014 NASA Status:  Draft Call for Proposals (CfP) released by NASA: 2 nd August 2013, requesting input  Schedule: CfP expected November proposal deadline 17 Jan 2014  CXC Response sent 30 Aug (included request to delay deadline given timing cf. Thanksgiving, Christmas, AAS) Major Changes:  Chandra (and HST) will (each) have separate reviews from smaller missions  Oral anticipated to be a site-visit CXC Planning: Structure and content similar to past SR proposals Science team (HT,MW,BW,PE,WT) already in discussion

CUC Oct 2013 Chandra Director’s Office Workshops and Conferences In response to sequestration budget cuts, NASA has placed limits on travel, conference funding etc. which have affected our activities:  Annual Science Workshop: 2013 workshop “X-ray View of Galaxy Ecosystems” was cancelled 2014 workshop: hope to resurrect same topic, not clear we will be able to do so  15 years of Chandra Science Symposium: Tentatively planned for Nov 2014 in Boston Again unclear if this will be able to go ahead  AAS Meetings: Exhibit continues, with emphasis on science support not E/PO Reduced attendees on CXC funds to fit within NASA limits  Science Meetings: require prior approval of meeting, and traveler
