Major Instrument Modes: ISAAC SW MR spectroscopy

RA Range: 3.6-7.8

Constraint set (Typical seeing, Transparency,Airmass, FLI, Moon distance): 1.2 2CLR 2.0 1.0 30


Pre-imaging run? No! Chilean run? No! Special calibrations? No!
Time critical? No! ToO? No! Carry-over run? No!


Special Remarks:


 

  Medium-resolution spectroscopy at 2.25 microns of a sample of
elliptical galaxies in Fornax, plus template stars in cluster NGC 2477.
Constraints not particularly demanding. 

  Please follow user's priority in README file at the time of selecting
targets to be observed.

  The slit position should contain the nucleus of the galaxy. The nucleus 
should be obvious as a nearly-point source, but anyway very high positioning
accuracy is not needed.

  Special scheduling and calibration needs:

1- All the NGC 2477 OBs need to be executed in a single sequence.

2- Telluric standards ("Fornax telluric") supersede calibration plan and
should be executed immediately after each of the OBs for Fornax objects 
(NGC 1344 to 1419).

  Note that telluric calibrations do not use calibration templates, as
the GenericOffset template (not available for standards) is preferred
by the user.
