CFHT congratulates the 3 teams that have had their proposal accepted as a Large Program for 2025 and 2026.

UNIONS and Pristine will be carried on MegaCam in 25B, 26A, and 26B, and PLANETS will start in 25A for 4 semesters of observations on SPIRou.

As proposed in its 10-year plan, CFHT offered up to 400 nights for Large Programs to be executed over a maximum of 1.5 years for MegaCam, and a maximum of 2 years for ESPaDOnS and SPIRou, in 2025 and 2026.

NRC (Canada) and CNRS (France) offered up to 70% of their agency time for this round of Large Programs.

Out of the 400 nights offered, 330 nights were awarded.

Details for each program are now available.
