Abstract for MTS:
noAO H-band observations of the most massive galaxies at z~1.4 to determine virial mass from Halpha. On-chip offset pattern. One galaxy per OB. Uses offset from bright(er) reference object. Don't re-center after the offset to target, because the target is supposed to end up in one corner of the array!
All OBs significantly longer than 1h, three of them even longer than 2h. But the PI was informed about the possible drawback that a degradation of conditions after the 1st hour might imply, and decided to stick with this strategy nevertheless.
Also, I know that the FixedSkyOffset is not the optimal template for this kind of observations, but it is what the PI wants.
For two OBs (powir4 and 11), the offset stars are quite faint. If you find it unfeasible to acquire them (even though the ETC promises an SNR of 30-40 on the integrated image), please send a ticket, then the PI has to look for brighter offset stars beyond a 1 arcmin radius.
