The proprietary period will be 12 months after the quality-checked data products have been delivered to the Principal Investigator.
Yes. After a 12-month proprietary period, science data will become available via the LMT Data Archive, currently in development.
A searchable data archive is currently in development. Before requesting new observations, proposers should check if their data of interest is already available in the archive.
Please append the following statement:
