Dear
(Potential) Fast Turnaround Users,

Gemini South (only) is accepting FT proposals and
the deadline is at 12:00 (NOON) Hawaiian Standard Time on Jan
31, 2023.   Accepted proposals will be active in the queue Mar - May
2023. 

In the previous cycle (Dec 2022), the first cycle for the 23A
semester, we received 11 proposals for GS and 6 of them were awarded
time.  For this upcoming cycle, please check the CfP and the telescope/instrument
schedules for instrument
availability.  Note that GMOS-S is currently scheduled to be
unavailable for most of May.

As a reminder, we are using a Dual Anonymous Review Process
(DARP).

The detailed guidelines, which will be enforced, can be found on
the FT web pages and also in the Call
for Proposals.   Please note that
specific Fast Turnaround proposal templates are REQUIRED for FT proposals. They can be found here:
(GemPhase1_FT_dual).  Proposals using a different template
will be rejected.  The 2023A
PIT must also be used.

The FT program has been used to conduct pilot studies or
stand-alone science projects, complete data sets, and follow up
newly-discovered objects, although we welcome proposals for any kind of project
with scientific value.  For more details about the FT program
including the latest Call for Proposals, please visit
the FT web page (https://www.gemini.edu/observing/phase-i/ft) and
the FT News page (https://staff.gemini.edu/ft/). 

Please don't hesitate to contact us (gem.fast-turnaround@noirlab.edu) if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Gemini Fast Turnaround Support Team
