Welcome! With this web interface you can submit your proposal
to the INAF time allocation committee checking and following on-line
every step of the submission.
We assume that you have carefully prepared and checked your proposal using the
template files and guidelines
and taking into account the information and technical warnings
for TNG or for REM
relevant for the AOT26 (August 2012 - January 2013) period.
If this is the case, please enter the name of your LaTex
file and encapsulated postscript figure(s) using the forms below.
To speed up the operations and avoid possible errors during the uploading
we encourage compressing
the postscript file(s) containing the figures using gzip
or UNIX compress.
The interface will check, run and show you the results of the compilation
before asking for confirmation.
It will also check the size of the resulting postscript file and
reject proposals which produce compressed postscript files larger
than 1.5 Mbytes.
Should you run into this problem, please reduce the size of the postscript
figures using image-handling programs like e.g. convert.
Every submitted proposal is immediately included in a
public data base
which contains the "proposal codes", as chosen by the users,
together with the date and time of submission. The "proposal code",
which you can choose as you wish, is only meant to help you
verifying the status of your proposal(s) and will not be used
elsewhere. This code has not to be confused with the TAC code which will
assigned to your program after submission.
Finally, you may enter in the last form an e-mail address
alternative to that of the P.I. given in the proposal
(\piemail{ }), we will use this for urgent communications
(if any). Please note that this information will not be included
in the public data base.
WARNING
After you click "Submit", please be patient. Depending on the
size of your files and on the load on the network,
the submission procedure may take from a few seconds to several
minutes.
In some peculiar cases (e.g. internet heavily overloaded)
you may get a timeout error from your
browser. Should this occur, please keep calm,
check the status of your internet connection and try again.
If you feel really in trouble, you may
send us an email.
