Visiting observers must fill out the [[http://www.iram.es/IRAMES/forms/obsrequest/ | standard travel form]] well in advance of their travel dates. When submitted the form is sent to Esther Franzin at IRAM/Granada (and Cathy Berjaud at IRAM/Grenbble) who will then reserve room in Granada and at the telescope. As we only have a limited number of sleeping rooms at the telescope, this step is absolutely required. Esther is also the right person if you have questions about transportation.

The 2nd open NIKA pool will take place from the 11th to the 21st of November 2014. Here is the precise schedule week1 and week2

Please read the general rules for pooled observations at the IRAM 30m radiotelescope.

Visiting observers must fill out the standard travel form well in advance of their travel dates. When submitted the form is sent to Esther Franzin at IRAM/Granada (and Cathy Berjaud at IRAM/Grenbble) who will then reserve room in Granada and at the telescope. As we only have a limited number of sleeping rooms at the telescope, this step is absolutely required. Esther is also the right person if you have questions about transportation.
