• 5

General Description

• The purpose of the program is to observe GRB afterglows with the purpose
   of
  measuring the redshifts, metallicitites, molecular content and line profiles.
  We have been granted one trigger in each of the two SV runs.
  
  We will contact the mountain by phone and e-mail in case of a new bust (if you
  prefer another mode of triggering please let us know!).  With the acquisition
  camera we will first image the error circle (typically 3--6 arcsec radius) down
  to first R=24 and if no source is detected to z=23 (5-sigma). This requires
  about 150 s in each band. This is not necessary if an optical afterglow
  position is already available from other observers. If a counterpart is
  detected (either by the night astronomer or by our team), follow-up
  spectroscopy is performed with exposure time depending on the afterglow
  brightness: if R<18 we will observe for 4x600 sec. If R>18 we will observe
   for
  4x1500 sec.

Waiver Requests

• A waiver request (60.A-9427A.01.WAV) to have OBs longer than 1 hr has
   been accepted.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None. We will observe even in very bad conditions.

Time-Critical Aspects

• This is a ToO proposal to observe rapidly fading GRB afterglow. Hence,
   please start the OB as fast as possible.

Special Execution Requirements

• None (except as fast as possible).

Special Calibration Information

• We need a spectroscopic standard star observation, but this should be
   standard.

ToO Information

• This is a ToO program to observe rapidly fading GRB afterglows.
