Major Instrument Modes: UVES IS#3 + Red_600 + IodineCell

RA Range: 11.5h - 18h

Constraint set (Typical seeing, Transparency,Airmass, FLI, Moon distance): 2.0, THN, 5.0, 1.0, 30


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


Special Remarks:
time-critical program: OBs of different "types" must follow different observing strategies (cf carefully this MTS abstract and README).


 
 
  ! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE USER HAS CORRECTED THE CONSTRAINT CONCERNING 
  ! EXECUTION IN CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS: OBs FOR BARNARD'S STAR SHOULD BE 
  ! DONE ON CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS 

 Continuation of a survey in search for extrasolar planets around M dwarf 
stars via precise determinations of their radial velocities. Program 
consists of observing science targets and calibartion B-type stars with 
(_iodine, _iodine_calstar) and without (_pure, _pure_calstar) the iodine 
cell. Few OBs have exposures as long as 1.7h. 

 Requirements: execution of program is complex. In order to avoid new 
oversights in the future, please read carefully the README file for complete 
details, or follow these guidelines according to OB type: 
! 1. *_iodine* OBs: multiple OBs per target, only 1 to be executed per night, 
! but not more than 2 OBs on 2 consecutive nights per target (best strategy: 
! observe them randomly) (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REQUEST IS NOW OBSOLETE!)
2. *_pure* OBs: 6 OBs for 6 targets - to be executed, if possible, before 
executing one of the corresponding *_iodine* OBs
3. *_iodine_calstar*, _pure_calstar* OBs: 6+6 OBs provided for 3 B-stars 
(chosen to cover some RA range) - MUST be executed every time ONE of the 
*_pure* OBs is executed (immediately before or after).
