Instructions
Previous Examples
All of the previous proposals are online, linked from the teams' Cool Cosmos page. All of the programs are listed here: http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/teacher_research/allprog.shtml and if you go to any of the team pages, you'll see lots of things, including a link to the proposal.
BUT PLEASE NOTE that up until last year, all of these past proposals were OBSERVING proposals and you are writing an ARCHIVAL proposal.
Recommended Contents
In general, good proposals should have:
- introduction and context. how you picked the target(s) and why. background on subject and target. educated guesses on what you might find.
- detailed information on what data are available, and what you plan to do with it (e.g. much more than "i'm sure spitzer observed this at some point"). how you are going to reduce the data. kind of analysis planned.
- education/outreach plan. what your team will do, individually or together.
You don't have page limits, but nor do you want the review committee annoyed because you made them read a book.... or tiny fonts. A professor in grad school always used to annoy me with broad essay questions followed by the instruction "Be brief but specific." But he's right ...
Target Selection
The list of sources that Lori suggests we consider are here:
- brc34 21h32m51.2s +58d08m43s
- brc36 21h35m32.6s +57d31m50s
- brc38 21h40m02.2s +58d20m31s
- brc31 20h50m43.4s +44d21m53s
- brc27 07h04m07.8s -11d16m43s
Let's collect information on literature references for each of these below. Look in both ADS and SIMBAD for papers and previously known sources within about 30' of these positions.
