===========================================

The Korean VLBI Network (KVN) invites scientific proposals for single dish observations for the 2025A season from Korean astronomical community. Observations of successful proposals will be scheduled between 2025 January 16 and June 15. Proposals should be submitted via the KVN website (http://kvn.kasi.re.kr) before the deadline of UT 08:00 (KST 17:00) on 2024 November 1.

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. Both spectral and continuum observation modes are supported. Available frequency bands are K (18-26 GHz) and Q (35-50 GHz), 86 (85-116 GHz), and 129 (125-142 GHz) GHz and simultaneous observation of the four frequency bands is also possible. For each KVN telescope, 300 hours of single dish observation time is available for this call. However, the Pyeongchang telescope will not participate in the single dish observations this semester. Therefore, total available time for three KVN radio telescopes is about 900 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).
