Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 01:59:52

General Description

• Observing 2 high-mass protostellar candidates in M17, whose 
  SEDs yield luminosities between 100 and several 1000Lsol. 
  Their colors suggest temperatures of 3000 to 7000 K. These 
  properties are in accord with theoretical models of 
  extremely young, heavily accreting protostars currently 
  developing into high-mass stars. In addition, the SEDs 
  clearly display IR excess emission probably due to circum-
  stellar disks.

Special Calibration Information

• We did not include special calibration OBs because in the manual 
  (table 13) it is said that one telluric standard star will be observed
  per observation. In case the observations are executed consecutively, one 
  telluric standard observation between the two science OBs would be sufficient.
  
  If the calibration plan does not apply for the science verification 
  phase, please either notify us or feel free to reduce the integration
  times in order to include one telluric standard between our two sources or two telluric
   standards in case the science sources are not observed consecutively. 
  
  If possible the telluric standard stars should be observed at the same airmass 
  as the targets directly prior or after the OBs. Please use hot 
  stars for this purpose.
