Major Instrument Modes: ISAAC SW MR spectroscopy

RA Range: 5.5 (single field)

Constraint set (Typical seeing, Transparency,Airmass, FLI, Moon distance): 1.0 3THN 5.0 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 of two position on the Orion bar in the 
J-band region. Each OB corresponds to a position and wavelength setting.
Acquisition is done through offsets from a nearby bright reference star. 
Very narrow slit despite of the seeing constraint is not a problem, as the
object is extended and high spectral resolution is needed. 

  Two things to take into account during observations: 

1- Calibration plan is fine, but please make sure of using an early-type star 
   for telluric correction.

2- Since the region has extended nebulosity, a sky position is taken about 5'
   off. The guide star may have to be changed in the process. This is no 
   problem, but please make sure to always use the same guide star at the 
   target's position. 

  No other calibrations are needed. No time-critical aspects.
