Special Remarks:
Take science-telluric pairs, time-critical: take as soon as possible, nightly time windows decrease during June 2009!
Abstract for MTS:
M-band (2 settings) spectroscopy of the atmosphere of Titan. NOTE: these OBs are at
wavelengths longward of the K-Band. They should be observed in dry conditions.
Each science OB has an associated telluric OB that should be observed right after
the science OB. Any other A- or B-type standard star brighter than Vmag=4.5 and close
enough to Titan should be valid too. Please follow priority list (N2O observations first).
The next time windows are between June 6 and June 24 2009:
For June 4-8, there are 2 available hours, from UT 23:30 to 1:30.
For June 9-16, only 1.50 hours, from UT 23:30 to 1:00.
For June 17-24, there is only 1 hour of optimum conditions, from UT 23:30 to 00:30.
The observing conditions are still fulfilled beyond June 24th but for periods
of time shorter than 1 hour.
No finding charts included because of moving target.
The differential tracking rate stated in the Titan OBs is taken from the ephemerides file.
Please note that it varies with date. These listed data corresponds to a local time
(at Paranal) of 00:00.
