Using the MNIRS Observation Submission Tool (MMOST)

Problems with this tool? Please email smoran at cfa.harvard.edu.

Overview:

Fill in the data fields to identify your MMIRS observing targets. The available fields will change depending on the type of observation you select (imaging, longslit, mask), so select the appropriate one first. Most of the data fields will immediately let you know if the wrong kind of characters are entered (for example, letters in fields which require numbers.)

Multiple filters/configurations per object are not yet supported by this tool. Please email any special request to smoran at cfa.harvard.edu after you submit this form for one of your desired configurations.

If you select "New Mask", a file selector and "Upload" button will appear at the bottom of the form. Choose your .msk file and press Upload. Note that you must then come back to MMOST to finish submitting your observing request, this time selecting your new mask in the pull-down menu.

Click "Submit" for each target to send the information to CfA. You will get a popup error message if any of the data is invalid.

Once you click "Submit", your submission will be sent to the Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge for checking. If all goes well, a MMT-format observing catalog will be created for your targets and sent to the MMT when your plan is checked at CfA. You do not need to create your own MMT observing catalog(s) for MMIRS observations.
