Current call for proposals, Semester 2010BDeadline: 10 February 2010CARMA, the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy, is accepting observing proposals for its 2010B semester, from 1 June to 30 November 2010. 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 2010B semester, proposals will be accepted for 15-antenna observations in the C, D, and E configurations, which have resolutions of ~0.8", 2", and 4", respectively, at 230 GHz. Proposals will also be accepted for 8-antenna observations in a compact configuration 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 observing time will be awarded to PIs outside the partner universities. Proposals should be submitted using the electronic form at: http.//carma-prop.ncsa.uiuc.eduA 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 17:00 CST (23:00 UT) on 10 February 2010.
