This wiki-page contains the reports produced by the LST-1 Physics and Publication Board (LPPB) for each proposal submitted for the observing Cycle 1 (2023-2024). Evaluation meeting has been hold remotely on 2023, March 3 and 2023, March 9.
The LPPB includes, for this cycle, the following members: D. Mazin (LST Project Manager), M. Teshima (Principle Investigator), J. Cortina (Co Principal Investigator), A. Berti, A. Moralejo, D. Kerzberg, J. Sitarek, A. Katsuaki, D. Green (PHYS Coordinator), A. Carosi (Deputy PHYS Coordinator) and Coordinators of the LST-1 Physics Working Group: A. Fiasson, A. Donini, D. Sanchez, M.N.

Introduction

The cycle will officially cover the time period from 2023 April XX to 2024 April XX and will account for approximately 500 hours of observation time. The 500 hours is determined from the average number of dark hours in a cycle (roughly 1000 hours) subtracted from the 500 hours of time given to MAGIC for joint observations. Since several of the proposals have MAGIC equivalent proposals (such as Target of Opportunity observations on AGN with LST-1), the ownership and actual non-overlapping observation time is difficult to determine. In such cases, negotiations between MAGIC and LST will take place to determine ownership of data and therefore which proposal the time should be subtracted from.

This first observation cycle will see the overlap of regular data taking with commissioning tasks that will in any case take priority over scientific operations. Despite the fact that some of the proposed sources will be observed in parallel with MAGIC, the scientific goal of the proposals should be achievable using only LST data. 15 proposals were submitted, and due to the time limitations, represents an oversubscription of ~2.0. The list of proposals is as follow:

List of submitted proposals for cycle I
Proposal Name PI WG MAGIC
Gamma-ray Burst Observations A. Donini TRANS Y (TRAN04)
Target of Opportunity observations of Galactic Transient sources A. Lòpez-Oramas TRANS Y (GAL08)
