The Gemini Observatory Large and Long Programs

摘要

We review the Gemini Observatory Large and Long Programs (hereafter "large programs" or LLPs) and discuss large program policy and proposal process.. The Gemini Large and Long Programs are Principal Investigator-defined and -driven programs that either require significantly more time than a partner typically approves for a single program, or extend over two to six semesters, or both. The large programs are designed to enable multi-partner collaborative programs, with significant scientific impact, to be reviewed within a single time allocation process.
