Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce the latest Call for Standard Observing Proposals for observations with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) during the 2025B semester, with observing period 16 Nov 2025 – 15 May 2026.

The deadline for proposals for the 2025B semester is:

3 Oct 2025 4PM Cambridge (EDT) = 3 Oct 2025 8PM GMT = 4 Oct 2025 4AM Taipei

The full Call for Proposals, with details on time available and the proposal process, will be available by September 3 at the SMA Observer Center (SMAOC) at http://sma1.sma.hawaii.edu/call.html.

We wish to highlight important information which will impact the coming semester, related to our continuing system upgrades and infrastructure improvements. For 2025B, there will be some modest limitations on tuning configurations as we continue to deploy new wSMA receiver and cryostat systems. In addition, we plan to be in our compact (COM) configuration for the entire semester, providing resolution around 3" at 1.3mm and 2" at 870 micron wavelengths.

Details on the SMA capabilities and status can be found at http://sma1.sma.hawaii.edu/status.html; proposal creation and submission is also done through the SMAOC at http://sma1.sma.hawaii.edu/proposing.html. We are happy to answer questions and provide assistance in proposal submission, simply email sma-propose@cfa.harvard.edu with any inquiries.

Sincerely,

Mark Gurwell, SAO Chair, SMA TAC Sheng-Yuan Liu, ASIAA Chair, SMA TAC
