Time Allocation Committee of CTAO-LST and MAGIC in Rijeka

Marina Manganaro and Tomislav Terzić organised the meeting of the Time Allocation Committee (TAC), the committee that evaluates observation proposals and allocates observation time on the CTAO-LST and MAGIC telescopes. The meeting took place from 24th to 27th of February 2026 in the InnovaLab at the University Campus Trsat in Rijeka. Both were also members of the TAC.

The meeting prepared the 4th observation cycle of LST-1 and the 21st observation cycle of MAGIC. It was the second time that the TAC evaluated proposals for the two experiments jointly. In total, 53 proposals were evaluated, requesting almost 3000 hours of observations with MAGIC, LST-1, or both, while the available time is about 2000 hours.
