A grand total of eight proposals have been submitted by the GUAIX astronomers to the Time Allocation Comitee (TAC) of Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma). The deadline was October 3rd for the semester 2009A, from March to August 2009.

This is the first time that the Spanish 10m telescope GTC is offered to the community. The only instrument available was the optical spectrograph OSIRIS. Research projects focused into high redshift galaxies and galaxy evolution surveys and most of them took advantage of using the powerful UCM Rainbow database

Now is time for the scientific jury (the TAC) to qualify proposals and grant observing time if they deserve it.
