Awarded time recommended by the CAT

Semester 2023B, HiPERCAM

Gran Telescopio Canarias

* Oversubscription factor in 2023B special call for proposals is = 3.0
* Right ascensions between 10 h and 12 h are even more heavily oversubscribed.
* A-band proposals have carry-over status over the following two semesters (2024A and 2024B), except for ToO proposals.
* ToO proposals in band C are not approved.
* ToO proposals must follow the GTC ToO policy.
* All PIs and teams are kindly requested to prepare phase 2 very carefully and according to the scientific program and objects approved by the CAT.
