Abstract for MTS:
Programme aims at deriving the internal velocity dispersions of a sample of ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in Fornax. 15 identical OBs submitted for Fornax, plus 4 "calibrator" OBs, to calibrate the instrumental line width.
Requirements:
1. the 4 calibrator OBs use two different set-up files (pointing1 and pointing2). The 2 OBs for each pointing MUST be observed one on plate1 and one on plate2.
2. calibrator OBs should be executed as soon as possible, in order to be as close as possible in time to the science observations (there is a large RA difference between Fornax and WCen).
Side note: initially, IS recommended to specifically ask to have all the science OBs observed always on the same plate. Instead, in order to leave the observations as flexible as possible, it was decided to have the calibrator OBs observed on
both plates.
IMPORTANT (10.01.07): because FACB fibre # 213 on plate 2, and since all OBs of run A use only 3 FACBs (of which one of them is #213), all remaining OBs of run A must be executed only on plate 1. This has been discussed and approved by IS and LPO director. Please note that all OBs for run B use ARGUS, hence they need plate 2, which could then be easily alternated.
NOTE (6.12.06): the 3FACB stars are not perfectly centred (cf USD-18004). PI suggested to use a mean corrective offset, instead of optimizing just one fibre.
