Attach supporting material

In the second step you attach supporting material used for the scientific and technical assessment of your proposal. You are required to present a science case and a technical justification in a single .pdf file not exceeding 5 pages in total, including any figures and tables. The science case should put the proposed observations in a broad scientific context, highlight their impact on the field of research and present the immediate goal you expect to achieve. The technical justification should justify the setup requested, including the sensitivity requirement, spectral resolution and field setup. Any technical information not captured by the OT should be included here. This includes for example justifying an observing time allocation that is not driven by sensitivity requirements, and thus differs from that estimated by the OT. Please see the Technical Justification section of the Proposers Guide (available on the Science Portal) for more detailed information.
