Strategies to Improve Program Completion Rates for HET and Gemini Observing

This document discusses the ongoing concerns within the HET board regarding the need to enhance overhead efficiency and improve program completion rates. The current completion rates stand at 41% for LRS and 55% for HRS, with VLT achieving around 70%. Queue management for HET is notably superior compared to Gemini, yet astronomers are showing reluctance to utilize large telescopes. The analysis includes UT Programs from 2003-1, highlighting collaborations from Stanford and Munich, emphasizing the importance of optimizing the science time available.

  1. HET Board Concerns • Get Target Overhead Down • Increase Program Completion Rate

  2. Weak and Strong points 41% for LRS and 55% for HRS Keck about 50% VLT ~70% except for ISAAC Gemini 80% with NIRI and HLS but worse with GMOS HET queue management is much better than Gemini Queue observing increasingly popular on VLT and Gemini ASTRONOMERS DO NOT WANT TO COME TO LARGE TELESCOPES!!

  3. UT Programs for 2003-1

  4. UT Programs for 2003-1
