The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites proposals for research time at the Liverpool telescope. There are 280 hours available to be allocated at the Liverpool telescope, a fully robotic facility sited in the Canary Islands. Proposals should be for observation time between 1 January 2017 and 31 August 2017. The following instruments are available:
•IO:O, the primary imaging charge-coupled device camera;
•SPRAT, which provides high-throughput, low-resolution, long-slit optical spectroscopy;
•FRODOSpec, an integral-field optical spectrograph;
•LOTUS, a heavily far-blue optimised, long-slit spectrograph;
•RINGO3, which provides imaging polarimetry over a ~4 arcmin diameter circular field-of-view simultaneously in three optical wavebands;
•RISE, a fast-readout optical imager;
•IO:I, which uses a 2048x2048 pixel Hawaii 2RG detector with a 1.7 micron cutoff.
