Gregor is a 1.5-meter on-axis solar telescope at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife that is operated in PI mode. We invite proposals for 2025B (August until November 2025), with the submission deadline on June 12, 2025.

The Gregor instrumentation and the proposal submission process is described at: https://www.leibniz-kis.de/en/observatories/gregor/observations-with-gregor/

In 2025B the GRIS spectropolarimeter can be used with two simultaneous arms in Ca II IR and He I 10830, or in its flexible one-arm configuration (with a long slit or with the image slicer IFU). As before, HiFI+ offers near-diffraction limited imaging with 50 to 100 frames per seconds in six spectral windows: Ca II H, G-band, blue continuum, broad- and narrow-band H-alpha, and TiO. The conventional AO system was recently upgraded with a faster Tip/Tilt mirror leading to an improved performance. All observations can be executed either in person on-site or in remote mode.
