Special Remarks:
MONITORING program: 4 OBS (0.33h/OB), to be executed one per month in April (MOV_67P_monitoring_17April), June (MOV_67P_monitoring_15June), August ( MOV_67P_monitoring_15August) and September (MOV_67P_monitoring_15September).
Abstract for MTS:
FORS2 R band imaging of the ROSETTA target comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko .
Monitoring program of a moving target: 4 OBS (0.33h/OB), to be executed one per month in April (MOV_67P_monitoring_17April), June (MOV_67P_monitoring_15June), August ( MOV_67P_monitoring_15August) and September (MOV_67P_monitoring_15September).
Special note: large offsetting amplitudes at the beginning of the science template (change of guidestar is ok, also guide probe vignetting of the lower CCD). Do not worry about the field crowdiness, observations happen close to the galactic plane.
*****Time criticality:
April:
On April 17 Spitzer will perform spectroscopy of the comet. If possible, we require to execute the OB (MOV_67P_monitoring_17April) simultaneous with Spitzer observations or at least as close as possible in time.
The Spitzer window is scheduled for
April 17 4:20-5:50UT.
In June, August and Septemebr no time constrain is required.
- Blind acquisition, i.e. object identification is not necessary, though easily possible (by blinking). Please check telescope pointing through DSS image!
- The OB names contain the month when the OBs have to be executed.
- Ephemeris provides in 10min time steps for the daily visiblity window of the comet at Paranal
* RADEC positions (hh mm ss.ss, sdd mm ss.s)
* RADEC velocities (arcsec/s)
* Airmass
* Vis. Brightness (mag)
* distance comet-moon TOM (deg)
* moon phase (%)
No finding charts provided by PI.
