General Description

• The goal of the proposed observations is to a) detect
  very late-time emission from a supernova and b) to
  characterise the nature of the emission using spectral-line
  diagnostics in the optical and near-IR regions.
  
  Note that the finding charts have been made using pre-explosion
  images.
  
  IMPORTANT:
  ----------
  A set of 4 OBs have been submitted, corresponding to 2 per target.
  Note that the approved time-request is for only 1 target, so we request
  that only 1 set (i.e. 2 OBs of a given target) be observed, with the decision depending
   on
  accessibility, conditions, ease of acquisition etc. on the night. We are content
   with leaving this choice up to the support observer(s), although we are obviously
   prepared to make this choice if this would be easier.
  
  We also request that the 2 OBs be executed consecutively.
  Executing 1 OB each of the 2 targets is a likely waste of resources.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• -

Time-Critical Aspects

• Both targets would be more suitable for the August-SV run.

Special Execution Requirements

• Please match slit-width to seeing.

Special Calibration Information

• Calibrations to be taken using the same set-up as the science OBs.
