 nDeadline: 11:59 am (Bangkok Time)\, 27 April 2025 \n\nProposals are inv

 TRTs).\n\nสำหรับคำแนะนำการใช้งา

 uctions in Thai\n\n \n\nImportant Note: \n\n\n	All the TRT nodes are wor
 king normally.       \n\n\n- Target of Opportunity (ToO) proposals may 
 now be submitted at any time\, outside the standard Call for Proposals (Cf
 P) periods. These proposals must clearly justify the need for ToO status a
 nd explain why the request cannot be submitted during a regular CfP. Note 
 that standard (non-ToO) application can only be submitted during an activ
 e CfP.\n\n- High school students and teachers may submit their proposals o
 utside normal active CfP periods\, but submitting through a normal cycle i
 s recommended. Please contact your NARIT advisor before submitting.\n\n-
  The TAC will be putting a strong emphasis on the past publication record
  of PIs and projects previously allocated time on the TRTs during the past
  cycles. The proposer of an application under these conditions must take g
 ood care in filling out sections C) and G) in the "Description of the prop
 osed project" of the online form.\n\n- You are required to read the instru
 ctions very carefully before making the applications. You must ensure that
  the applications are filled out truthfully and as accurately as possible.
  PIs are responsible for the content in the proposal\, any misuse of NARIT
  facilities\, data\, or false information may result in being disqualified
  from the application process or any scheduled time slot.\n\n- Metadata of
  the data taken will be made available on the NARIT public scientific data
  archive. However\, the actual data themselves will be kept proprietary fo
 r a period of ONE year after the end of the cycle in which the data were t
 aken. After which\, the data may be queryable by the public or any user of
  the NARIT scientific data archive. In special circumstances\, e.g. nature
  of the scientific campaign\, etc.\, PI may request an extension of the pr
 oprietary period which the TAC will consider on a case-by-case basis.\n\n
  \n\nAcknowledgment Rules\n\nAny publication resulting from observations 
 and data obtained by the TRTs MUST include the following sentence\,\n\n
 “This research is based on observations made with the Thai Robotic Teles
 cope under program ID [ID]\, which is operated by the National Astronomica
 l Research Institute of Thailand (Public Organization).”\n\n \n\n\nThe 
 Proposals will be reviewed and ranked on the basis of their scientific mer
 it by a Time Allocation Committee (TAC) nominated by the NARIT Director. T
 AC members include qualified researchers from NARIT and other institutes i
 n Thailand and Asia. The technical feasibility of the proposals will be re
 viewed by the NARIT Operations Department. \n\n \n\nAutomated Asteroids 
 and moving objects search\n\nStarting from Cycle 6C\, the PI's are asked 
 if they would volunteer for their data to be searched for moving objects 
 in near real-time. The effort is being led by one of the NARIT researcher
 s\, Dr. David Mkrtichian. He is responsible for the auto-search pipeline 
 and writing a report to Minor Planet Center (MPC) if a new asteroid is f
 ound. The co-authorship on the MPC report and subsequent publications of 
 discovery are also offered to the PI of the project which data are taken f
 or. The PI is asked to indicate his/her choice in the online proposal if 
 they wish to participate in this program and if so whether he/she would l
 ike to be on the MPC report. The PI can also nominate one Co-I from his/he
 r proposal to also co-author any discovery of a new asteroid arising from
  their data. For more information as well as agreement and rules of how y
 our data will be used please see this document.\n\n \n\nhttps://indico.na
