TNG Schedule - April 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025
Listed below are the TNG nights scheduled in the semester AOT51/2025A. The allocations for the same period can be found here. Dates indicate the start of night. Visiting observers are requested to read the instructions given here. In case of doubt, please contact our Astronomy Helpdesk.
Other information, hints and warnings useful to prepare the observing run can be found here. Please note that special instructions and time constraints apply to programmes requiring multi-object spectroscopy (DOLORES+MOS), see the dedicated web page.
In case of problems with the scheduling of your programme, please notify the Head of Astronomy as soon as possible.
Note 1: The execution of the observations related
to the proposal A50TAC_19, “Follow-up of the electromagnetic
counterparts of gravitational wave sources at TNG during O4b”, may
have a significant impact on the scheduled programmes.
Note 2: The radial-velocity monitoring of exoplanetary systems
across the semester requires time-sharing
agreements among the approved programmes. Taking into account this
need, two main groups have been identified:
- New GAPS Time. It collects the observing time awarded to the following programmes: A48TAC_66 Sozzetti, A48TAC_48 Benatti, A48TAC_52 Borsa, A51TAC_27 Bocchieri, A51TAC_31 Mantovan, A51TAC_38 Piccinini, A51TAC_41 Leonardi, A51TAC_47 de Azevedo Silva and A51TAC_48 Di Maio.
- HARPS-N Collaboration Time. It collects the time awarded to the following programmes: A48TAC_59 Malavolta, A48TAC_28 Dumusque and A51TAC_45 John.
