Whole Earth Telescope (WET)
This is a complete list of all of the WET campaigns and the targets for each of those campaigns. The WET campaigns are denoted by their XCov number (which stands for eXtended Coverage). For many runs, multiple targets are listed; those in bold are the primary targets for the run, with (usually) less data collected for the other targets. The large diversity of WET targets can be seen in this table, and the range of PIs covers the globe, appropriate for a worldwide consortium.
The links to the left include links to several of the most recent WET campaigns which have a webpage. The internet is now used as an important instrument of communication with astronomers during the XCovs, so these pages are critical to the operation of the WET.
