By the deadline on October 15, 2024, ESO received nine letters of intent for the ESO public survey with KMOS. These letters of intent cover a wide range of scientific topics from young stellar objects to the evolution of galaxies at cosmic noon and beyond. There are three submitted letters of intent covering galactic and stellar evolution topics, followed by the local universe (two letters of intent) and galaxy evolution at higher redshift (four letters of intent). Nine PIs and more than one hundred co-Is are participating in these scientific projects. The overall total time request is equivalent to an over-subscription by a factor 5.
Nine Letters of Intent for the KMOS Public Surveys Submitted
Published: 06 Nov 2024
The Public Survey Panel (PSP) will review these letters of intent, suggest integrations and possible merging of projects with similar aims and observing strategies. Recommended surveys will be invited to submit proposals for P116 with start of observations in October 2025.
