| =========================================== Call for Proposals 2026A (Single Dish) Proposal submission deadline: 2025 November 3, 09:00 UT KVN website: http://kvn.kasi.re.kr =========================================== The Korean VLBI Network (KVN) invites scientific proposals for single dish observations for the 2026A semester from Korean astronomical community. Observations of successful proposals will be scheduled between 2026 January 16 and June 15. Proposals should be submitted via the KVN website (http://kvn.kasi.re.kr) before the deadline of UT 09:00 (KST 18:00) on 2025 November 3. The Korean VLBI Network (KVN) is operated by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI, http://www.kasi.re.kr). Its four 21m radio telescopes are located in Seoul, Ulsan, Jeju, and Pyeongchang. The system supports both spectral and continuum observing modes. For the Yonsei, Ulsan, and Tamna telescopes, the observable frequency bands are K (18-26 GHz), Q (35-50 GHz), W (85-116 GHz), and D (125-142 GHz), allowing for simultaneous observations across all four frequency bands. The Pyeongchang telescope is equipped with a Compact Triple-band Receiver (CTR), enabling observations in the K (18-26 GHz), Q (35-50 GHz), and W (80-116 GHz) bands, with simultaneous observations possible in four bands (K/Q/W-low & W-high). For each KVN telescope, 250 hours of single dish observation time is available for this call. Therefore, total available time for four KVN radio telescopes is about 1,000 hours. Proposers should use the KVN single dish application form and carefully follow the instructions on the KVN website. The scientific and technical justification must be provided within 3 pages. Details of the information and current status of the KVN can be found in the KVN status report on the KVN website (http://kvn.kasi.re.kr). ** Note on The Yonsei telescope ** The 150/230 GHz receiver for the Pyeongchang Telescope is scheduled to be installed by December 2025. ** Note on The Yonsei telescope ** The receiver of Yonsei Telescope will be replaced by the CTR. The installation period is expected to be until 2025 December, after which 150/230GHz receiver will also be installed. Taehyun Jung Center for KVN(Korean VLBI Network), KASI |
