The submissions will be reviewed by the CIT Leads and the SAC, in consultation with the PAC. The deadline for submissions is August 15 (tbc). Once recruitment is complete the full membership will be published.

Data Release Schedule

SMEA has an extensive target list, with sources spanning a wide range of RA and Dec. Each target will require eclipse observations with JWST to search for evidence of an atmosphere; a subset of host stars will be targeted for UV observations with HST.. Those observations will be interspersed with other GO and DD programs throughout each cycle. For each target, the eclipse data will be combined by STScI and the combined product, together with the raw data files, will be made public through MAST after all observations are taken. This follows the recommendation of the Working Group to provide equitable access (see below for restrictions for CIT and SC members). HST observations of the host star will be non-proprietary and will be available immediately.

Policy Requirements

General: 

...

  • STScI staff working on the implementation team must clearly separate their functional work from any scientific research undertaken using these data or associated tools and data products.
  • CIT members may not participate in submitting any publications based on Exo DD observations until that dataset has been public for at least 1 week (tbc)
  • Members of the CIT may not serve as PIs on HST or JWST proposals that are associated directly with the SMEA programs. Those proposals include AR programs that aim to utilize SMEA data, Theory programs designed to support analysis of those data, or observing programs that aim to supplement the SMEA datasets.
  • Members of the CIT may participate as co-Is in HST or JWST proposals that are associated with the SMEA programs. They must inform the CIT lead of their involvement in those proposals and they may not apply for or receive grant funding if those proposals are accepted.
