Abstract for MTS:
This is a UVES/DIC1 programme on the X-ray binary Cen X-4 (orbital period = 15.1 hrs). Ideally, this programme should be started on one night and completed on the following night. During the first night on should attempt to execute CENX4_DIC1_1H-0, CENX4_DIC1_2H-0, xxx_2H-1, xxx_2H-2, xxx_2H-3 (for a total of 9 hours), and continue on the next night with xxx_2H-4, xxx_2H-5, xxx_2H-6 (for a total of 6 hours). This is feasible around mid-May. Nevertheless, since this is going to be very difficult, the PI has agreed that if the sequence has to be interrupted, it can be resumed on following nights, trying to avoid the repetition of phases that have already been covered by previous data. For this purpose, the PI has provided a table in the README file.
