Multi-Cycle Treasury Program Opportunity with Hubble Space Telescope in Cycle 32

2023

VOLUME 40

ISSUE 2

The primary aim of Multi-Cycle Treasury Programs is to provide an opportunity for the community to address high impact scientific questions that require observations on a scale that cannot be accommodated within the standard time allocation process. Unlike previously, we do not plan to issue a separate call for MCTs, adding yet another deadline for the community. Rather, we will include MCTs as an option in the Cycle 32 Call for Proposals.

$Hubble telescope with a bright blue spot is at the left-center of the image, which has a black background. The spot is the Didymos-Dimorphos system after impact from the DART spacecraft. The center bright spot has 3 diffraction spikes extending from its core at the 1 o’clock, 7 o’clock, and 10 o’clock positions. There is a small amount of dusty haze just below the southern pole of the center dot. Two tails of ejecta that appear as white streams of material extend out from the center at the 2 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions.$ $Hubble telescope with a bright blue spot is at the left-center of the image, which has a black background.
