Current call for proposals, Semester 2011aDeadline: 31 August 2010CARMA, the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy, is accepting observing proposals for its 2011a semester, which will extend from 1 November to 30 June 2011. CARMA comprises 23 antennas operating in the Inyo Mountains of California at an elevation of 2200 meters. Fifteen antennas are equipped with receivers for 3mm and 1mm wavelengths; eight antennas are equipped with receivers for 1cm and 3mm wavelengths. For the 2011a semester, proposals (at λ=3mm and 1mm) will be accepted for the 15-antenna array in the A, B, C, D, and E configurations. These configurations have resolutions of 0.18", 0.4", 1.0", 2.5", and 4", respectively, at 220 GHz and resolutions of 0.40", 0.9", 2.2", 5.5", and 11", respectively, at 100 GHz. Proposals (for λ=1cm and 3mm) will be accepted for the 8-antenna array in a compact configuration (SL), which is optimized for observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. CARMA is operated by the Universities of California (Berkeley), Chicago, Illinois, and Maryland, and the California Institute of Technology, under a cooperative agreement with the University Radio Observatory program of the National Science Foundation. Approximately 30% of the awarded time will be given to PIs outside the partner universities. Proposals should be submitted using the electronic form at: http.//carma-prop.ncsa.uiuc.edu A detailed description of CARMA is available at http://www.mmarray.org . Questions may also be addressed to Dr. Nikolaus Volgenau. The deadline for submitting proposals is 12:00 CST (18:00 UT) on 31 August 2010.
