1 GO Program: Past, Present & Future Koji Mukai Suzaku Guest Observer Facility

2 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting2 GO Program Overview 100% open to competition (except calibration observations and real-time TOOs); no more guaranteed time Stage 1 (science) proposals: parallel submission and review in the US, Japan and ESA International merging meeting to resolve target conflicts; some proposals are “merged” with US and Japanese PIs Priority A and B targets are guaranteed to be observed; C targets as schedule filler Stage 2 (budget) proposals for US-based investigators Additionally, TOO requests can be submitted for unexpected phenomena

3 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting3 Cycle 1 (2006 Apr-2007 Mar) All accepted A targets observed, except for –Untriggered TOO observations (potential total of ~400 ksec) 1 US BHC binary TOO and, 1 (of 2) SGR TOO 2 TeV blazar TOOs, Cen X-3, and 1 Japanese BHC TOOs were untriggered –Several observations of Cyg Loop accepted contingent on XIS bakeout All accepted B targets observed, except –Second observation of 1 ESA target (of 2 accepted) –Supplementary observation of Mrk 766 (safehold) Of the C targets (5.3 Msec), about 3 Msec were observed –Higher than expected due to untriggered TOOs and other factors

4 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting4 Cycle 1 (Continued) Stage 2 (budget) review was completed in July, 2006 –28 A proposals funded at $34 K/proposal (Hurley IPN proposal at $17K) –23 B proposals at $26 K, 19 Cs at $17 K –10 Foreign PI proposals at $9K GO grants were distributed starting in Sep, 2006 through NSSC –After observation is done, if GSFC has funds (not always the case near, e.g., FY boundaries), PR is initiated –NSSC then does further paperworks before grants are sent All Cycle 1 GO grants totaling $1.6M have been processed by GSFC

5 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting5 Cycle 2 (Apr 2007-Mar 2008) ROSES-2006 release: Jan 23, 2006 International AO-2 release: Sep 1, 2006 Proposal deadline: Dec 1, 2006 US Proposal review: Feb 8/9, 2007 International merging meeting: Mar 2, 2007 Target list release: Mar 6, 2007 Stage 2 (budget proposal) deadline: May 7, 2007 Stage 2 review: by early Jul, 2007?

6 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting6 Cycle 2 Proposal Process Stage 1 submisson to AKBAR/RPS (all electronic); no NSPIRES submission Reviewer access also through AKBAR/RPS (electronic distribution) NRESS provided on-site computer and logistic support for the review Stage 2 proposals through NSPIRES ($1.7M available) Stage 2 review by Stage 1 Panel Chairs

7 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting7 Cycle 2 Statistics 156 proposals submitted to US; 24.1 Ms total time, or 22.1 Ms of non-overlapping, XIS2- adjusted time, requested (factor of >4 oversubscriptioin) –132 proposals to ISAS, 17.9/16.1 Ms, ~3 o.s. US Share: 37.5% (US) + 12.5% (JUS), or 6.2 Ms + 2.1 Ms after x1.4 oversubscription 50% priority A, 40% B, and 50% C TOO and Time Critical observations must be As –Strong competition for BHC TOOs 47 (A or B) + 26 (C only) proposals accepted

8 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting8 International Merging Three of the 4 panel chairs (Brown, Bautz, and Rotshchild) and US Project Scientist (White) represented the US for Cycle 2 Both in Cycles 1 and 2, there were few target overlaps, undersubscribing the 12.5% JUS time. The JUS time was effectively absorbed back into US and Japanese time (c.f. oversubscription factor) Merging committee treated the pre-set rules as guidelines and modified them to fit the situation

9 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting9 Proposed and Accepted Targets US proposals by category –1 Comet, 13 Stars, 41 Accreting Binaries, 11 SNR (inc. neutron stars), 6 Galactic diffuse –6 Galaxies, 50 AGN, 25 Groups and Clusters, 1 extragalactic diffuse and 2 GRB Bright AGN and bright X-ray binaries did particularly well –Technical feasibility (particularly of HXD science) played a major role

10 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting10 (Lack of) Large Projects In the US review, we allocate available times to the 4 panels and hold a considerable amount of B time in reserve Panels who accept large (>250 ksec) proposals have priority over the reserve time This did not lead to large projects being accepted - longest in Cycle 2 is 210 ksec

11 May 3, 2007Suzaku Users' Group Meeting11 Cycle 3 Plan Observations during Apr 2008-Mar 2009 ROSES-2007 released: Feb 16, 2007 Proposal Deadline: Nov 30, 2007 Review, merging, and Stage 2 schedule TBD US Share: 37.5% US + 12.5% JUS (provisional) Current budget implies $1.35M for Cycle 3 GOs (will drop further to $1M in Cycle 4) Potential for special treatment of large projects
