Adding Phase-1 Science Goals

A new Phase 1 Science Goal can be added using Edit $\rightarrow$ New Phase 1 Science Goal when the Proposal or Planned Observingnode is selected. Subsequently, when selecting the Planned Observingnode, the Phase 1 Science Goal table becomes visible in the Editorpane. The table will initially be empty but it will be filled onceScience Goals are defined. Note that the amount of information that isdisplayed for a Science Goal can be controlled via the Appearance tabof File $\rightarrow$ Preferences .

The number of Science Goals you will have to enter will depend on whatexactly it is you are trying to do. There are currently variousrestrictions on what it is possible to do with a Science Goal and welist these here. It is very likely that some if not all of theserestrictions will disappear in future releases.

Each Phase 1 science goal contains five forms: General, Field Setup,Spectral Setup, Calibration Setup, and Control and Performance. Theseforms are discussed below. An example of a Phase 1 proposal structurewith two science goals is visible in Figure  6.5 .
