ESO Programme ID: 072.B-0108C Principal Investigator Name: Sven De Rijcke Principal Investigator E-mail Address: sven.derijcke@ugent.be Principal Investigator Telephone Number: ++ 32 9 264 47 91 Principal Investigator Postal Address: Universiteit Gent Sterrenkundig Observatorium Krijgslaan 281, S9 Instrument: FORS2 OPC Priority Class: A OPC Approved Total Execution Time: 1h30m0.0s Estimated Total Execution Time (including overheads): 1h27m32.0s README File Submission Date: 11/08/2003 Programme Description ===================== General Overview ---------------- J band imaging of 4 Blue Compact Galaxies: UM038, UM323, Mk900, and Mk324. The OBs are called IMG J UM038 IMG J UM323 IMG J Mk900 IMG J Mk324 Standard calibration plan (darks, zeropoints, exinction coefficients, illumination corrections) suffices. We used the shortest recommended DIT value: 30 seconds. None of the fields contain an object brighter than 11th magnitude. This was checked using the Aladin sky atlas. Bmag of brightest object in FOV of UM038 : 15.8 FOV of UM323 : 17.0 FOV of Mk900 : 15.7 FOV of Mk324 : 15.8 These brightest objects are all stars. No IR magnitudes are available, Bmag is the best we could do. The FOV used here is the actual FOV of ISAAC plus 1' on each side, to take the jittering into account. Mk900 itself has a total B brightness of 10.5 mag but it is an extended blue galaxy and should not give rise to residual images. For this ISAAC imaging run, the slits are to be ignored.

[Y] Do all your Finding Charts comply with the both the general and instrument-specific finding chart requirements? [Y] If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude and spectral type of all standard stars ? [NA] Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not a part of the Calibration Plan? [NA] [FORS only] Do all your FORS OBs use only the allowed detector read-out modes listed on the FORS1/FORS2 Phase 2 Web pages? [NA] [FORS only] Do all your FORS MOS/LSS OBs contain the mandatory "through-slit image" template? [NA] [UVES only] Do all your UVES OBs use only the allowed templates listed on the UVES Phase 2 Web pages ? [NA] [ISAAC only] Are ALL the objects in your field-of-view fainter than the magnitude limits specified on the ISAAC Phase 2 Web page ? [Y] [ISAAC only] If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided ISAAC*_*_cal_* templates? [NA] [FLAMES only] Did you specify the hour angle range for which your Target Setup files are valid ? [NA] [VIMOS only] Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam? [NA] [VIMOS only] Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view? [NA] If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, please revise your OBs *before* submission.
