Alert from: Brother Guy Consolmagno SJ, Director of the Vatican Observatory:
All the telescope users associated with the University of Arizona are being asked to document the scientific results that come from their use, in order to give our funding agencies and donors a clear idea of the results that our telescopes are producing.
To that end, as an essential part of your getting time at the VATT, we ask that you:
(A) let us know about any publication that uses data you have obtained on the VATT, by email to: brother_guy@mac.com
(B) be sure to acknowledge explicitly in every publication that uses data from the VATT, that your work is based on data acquired at the VATT or is otherwise connected to the VATT
(C) use the facility keyword VATT in publications (Astronomy Data System adsabs.harvard.edu) _ Notes: * Attention OBSERVERS: To prepare for your run, consult WEB https://lavinia.as.arizona.edu/~tscopewiki/doku.php?id=vatt:current-schedule And explore other pages in the MOON document for VATT Request ROOMS week before run to Gary Gray: garyg1@email.arizona.edu And Cc: rpboyle@mac.com about your request for ROOMS. * Find any updates to this schedule at WEBsite above
