General Description

• * Science objectives: We want to obtain a spectrum of the candidate weak
   emission line quasar HE0141-3932 (redshift z=1.8). This spectrum should be compared
   to a synthetic quasar spectrum to unveil slope differences and other spectral differences
   when compared to normal quasars. In addition, the low ionization emission lines
   (MgII 2798, H gamma 4340) will be used to measure the accretion rate and disentangle
   between different scenarii that explain the nature of weak emission line quasars.
   Finally, narrow quasar emission lines will be searched for. 
  * Important Observational aspects: To drive this science we need high S/N spectra
   (S/N ~ 100/spectral resolution element). We also need to achieve achieve accurate
   sky subtraction, a proper response curve and differential extinction correction,
   proper correction for telluric lines in the Near-Infra-Red. 
  Target Estimated Mag: R=15.8 (might be variable)

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• SKY TRANSPARENCY: CLR
  
  SEEING: No constraint
  
  LUNAR ILLUMINATION: 0.7 
  
  MOON ANGULAR DISTANCE: 30 (degrees)

Time-Critical Aspects

• No Time critical constraints

Special Execution Requirements

• No special execution requirement

Special Calibration Information

• No extra calibration 
  
  Normal calibration, including flat field, bias with high gain and bin 1x2 + arc
   lamps
  
  Standard star + Telluric star obtained during normal operation are enough. We prefer
   hot telluric star.
