The policy on target information is as for other NRAO telescopes - for more than 30 you may simply describe the selection criteria and LST ranges in the scientific justification.
This page provides a summary of all of the targets included in your proposal. You may create new targets using this page, or you may skip this page, and create them as you go while completing the Observations GBT tab page.
The targets list can be typed in manually or imported from an ASCII/text file. Currently the co-ordinate information is treated simply as an ASCII string, but the preferred format is hh:mm:ss.s, dd:mm:ss.s.
If typing in your target list, first click "New", then type the Object's name in the white box at the bottom of the page. Select the System (HMS, Deg or Non-sidereal) and the equinox, and type the coordinates on the white boxes to the right. Enter a source flux density in the text box below the object name. The flux density is a text string and can be in any reasonable units. Please specify them! If your targets are non-sidereal, the time at which the coordinates are valid must be also entered here. Repeat the process to add all targets. The entries can be moved up or down the list using the arrows above the central panel.
If importing a target list form an ASCII/text file please use the correct format. This format is best described by entering information for one target then saving it to a file using the "Save" button and viewing the file. The format is basically a tab separated list of sources, one per line, as follows:
0127+23 3Jy J2000 01:27:23.5 23:22:14.5
The final column in the target table in the centre section of the target page, indicates how many times a target is used (referenced) in the Observations Page. If a target has a 0 here, the proposal does not reference this target and it will not be observed under this proposal (nor will it appear in the HTML summary). However, it is acceptable for targets not to be referenced in the Observations page since they could be targets for a different telescope proposal
