Target of Opportunity Proposals in Period 90
This list of OPC approved Target of Opportunity Proposals (ToOs) is updated every observing period. The ESO ToO Policy is available from a separate document. Please note that when activating the observations, the ToO requests have to be fully documented, indicating the trigger of the requested observations. Observing time is only granted up to the indicated maximum of allocated time.
