What would be a typical schedule for a LBTO Support Scientist/Astronomer?
A. This is still under discussion. Initially, some time will be required on the mountain to support instrument and telescope commissioning activities and limited partner scientific observing programs. During routine science operations, a LBTO support astronomer might be assigned to support a partner block which might be 7-10 nights long or at the very least be available to support the start of a partner block and be on call the remainder of the time. A high speed video link from Tucson to the mountain control room is available. While on the mountain we would expect 100% LBTO effort. When in Tucson the schedule would be more flexible.
