Reminder: NASA IRTF's Call for Proposals is Open Until Oct. 1 for Semester 2027A (Feb. 1 - July 31)
For more information about proposing for time on IRTF, full details on the instruments, exposure time calculators and all other information needed for proposal preparation, visit:
IRTF offers a unique range of imaging capabilities with broad and narrow band filters and spectroscopic observing capabilities covering wavelengths from 0.5µm to 20µm and resolutions of 50 to 80,000. Non-sidereal tracking of solar system objects, including near-Earth objects, is a particular strength.
Pre-observing training is offered for new observers and those unfamiliar with the instruments.
ToO interrupt and time critical programs are supported and we are especially interested in receiving proposals that require regular followup observations after a ToO program is triggered. Observing is usually conducted fully remotely. In-person observing to build experience or conduct particularly challenging programs is available, accommodation is included and transportation between the observatory and accommodation may also be provided.
The IRTF web services are fully recovered from the impacts of the recent extreme weather events and observatory operations have resumed.
