Episode 118: Star-studded submissions
from astro[sound]bites · host astrosoundbites
In this episode, as we (at the time of recording) approach Astronomy’s (JWST) awards season, Cormac and Cole shed some light on just how ideas become astronomical datasets. Our two putative principal investigators discuss why grad students should consider applying for telescope time, the main components and categories of proposals, and how successful proposals are finally selected and scheduled. We conclude with our most memorable moments from our own efforts to get time on facilities like JWST, Roman and Gemini. SPHEREx Data Tools: https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/spherex/
