Recognizing that radio observations using the NRAO facilities will be important to the scientific exploration by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, up to 3% of the total observing time on each NRAO telescope was made available for joint observing. Chandra Cycle 11 observing will begin in November 2009.
The following joint Chandra/NRAO proposals were approved for Cycle 11:
- Stephane Corbel, Centre d'Etudes de Saclay, X-ray Jets in Microquasars, 3 VLA hours
- Myriam Gitti, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Investigating AGN Feedback in Cool Cores Detected in H-alpha, 3 VLA hours
- Isabelle Grenier, Centre d'Etudes de Saclay, ToO Observations of a Bright Transient Discovered by Fermi and Swift, 1 VLA hour
- Kayhan Gultekin, University of Michigan, COMBH: Chandra Observations of M-sigma Black Holes, 12 VLA hours
- Peter Jonker, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Following a Black Hole Candidate X-ray Transient to Quiescence, 15 VLA hours
- Simon Migliari, European Space Agency, Disk Wind and Jets in the Neutron Star Binary GX9+9, 7 VLA hours
- Jon Miller, University of Michigan, High Resolution Spectroscopy of a Black Hole Transient, 4 VLA hours
- Jeremy Sanders, University of Cambridge, Testing AGN Feedback with AWM7, 4 VLA hours
- Gregory Sivakoff, University of Virginia, Binary Formation in the Sparse Galactic Globular Cluster NGC 3021, 1 GBT hour
- Ming Sun, University of Virginia, Strong Shocks, Cavities and AGN Heating in Galaxy Groups, 11 VLA hours
