README Template 69.1 ESO Programme ID: 69.D-0390(D) Principal Investigator Name: Thomas Szeifert Principal Investigator E-mail Address: tszeifer@eso.org Principal Investigator Telephone Number: ++56 2 4633057 or ++56 55 435342 Instrument: UVES OPC Priority Class: B OPC Approved Total Execution Time: 2.5h Estimated Total Execution Time (including overheads): 2.5h README File Submission Date: 2002-02-01 Programme Description ===================== General Overview ---------------- long-term time series of the Luminous Blue Variable R71 (LMC) over 9 months. The time series should start as soon as possible - it's visible in the morning twilight already in July! The OBs consist of a short exposure to get H_Alpha without saturation. The longer exposure might saturate and it's almost impossible to predict the line strengths in the emission lines. Since I have the short one: Go ahead! Waiver Request Summary ---------------------- no waivers Critical Observing Condition Constraints ---------------------------------------- no constraints, twilight is no problem Time Critical Aspects --------------------- time-series must start in August latest and the frequency should be about WEEKLY until the end of the observation period - to be continued in P70,... => COVER ALL THE PERIOD FROM July/August TO END OF SEPTEMBER ! <= optimum frequency 7-8 days, 5-12 days gaps are fine,... but try NOT to finish all OBs before September,... Special Calibration Information ------------------------------- calibration plan ToO Information --------------- NA Pre-Imaging Information ----------------------- NA OB Information ============== List of Science OBs with Associated Finding Charts -------------------------------------------------- Total Number of Submitted Science OBs: 9 Total Number of Submitted Finding Charts: 1 69.D-0390D.001.ps - same target/charts for all OBs List of Calibration OBs with Associated Science OBs --------------------------------------------------- Total Number of Submitted Calibration OBs: NA OB Compliance Checks ==================== Y = Yes, N = No, NA = Not Applicable Do all your OBs comply with the instrument specific requirements listed on the instrument specific Phase 2 Web pages [Y/N/NA]? Y Do all your FORS OBs use only the allowed detector read-out modes listed on the FORS1/FORS2 Phase 2 Web pages? [Y/N/NA] NA Do all your FORS MOS/LSS OBs contain the mandatory "through-slit image" template? [Y/N/NA]? NA Do all your UVES OBs use only the allowed templates listed on the UVES Phase 2 Web pages [Y/N/NA]? Y If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude and spectral type of all standard stars [Y/N/NA]? 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/N/NA]? NA [ISAAC only] If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar templates? [Y/N/NA]? NA If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, please revise your OBs *before* submission.
