Special Remarks:
Set weather flag in imaging OBs to P!
Abstract for MTS:
Imaging (0.127"/pix) in PAH1, SIV_2, NeII_2, Q1, Q2, Q3 and J7.9, MR Spectroscopy (at 8.4 microns) and HR Spectroscopy (at 8.02 microns) of Jupiter. All observations are
to be done between Oct. 1st and Oct. 17, 2008.
As Jupiter is bright enough to cause striping on the VISIR imaging detector with the default weather flag, the weather flag in all imaging OBs will have to be set to "P" for Poor. For spectroscopy, the default weather flag will still be fine.
The imaging is split up in two sets of observations ("MOV_img_jup_north_*") and ("MOV_img_jup_south_*). The "MOV_img_jup_north_*" OBs are not time-critical; they can be done any night that Jupiter is observable. The "MOV_img_jup_south_*" OBs are time critical; "MOV_img_jup_south_set1" is to be done within 1.5 hours of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) crossing Jupiter's meridian and "MOV_img_jup_south_set2" is to be done within 1.5 hours of Jupiter's Little Red Spot (LRS) crossing Jupiter's central meridian. Meridian crossing times for both spots (labelled "GRS" for the Great Red Spot and "Oval BA" for the Little Red Spot) are given in the README.
Like the imaging of the southern hemisphere, the spectroscopy is also to be done within 1.5 hours of either the Great Red Spot ("MOV_spect_jupiterGRS_*" OBs) or the Little Red Spot ("MOV_spect_jupiterLRS_*" OBs) crossing of Jupiter's central meridian. The user has also supplied telluric standards which are to be observed immediately following or preceding each spectroscopic OB.
