General Description

This programme is a long-term precision radial velocity survey of M dwarfs
 in search for planetary companions. Program stars are repeatedly observed in the
 course of the semester.

Waiver Requests

Waiver request with ID 173.C-0606C.01 was submitted on 16 Feb 2005 and
 approved on 17 Feb 2005.
Requested were: (1) to submit no finding charts, (2) to use lambda=600nm in template
 UVES_red_obs_exp even when observing without the iodine cell, (3) to submit OBs
 for CAL stars.
Requests (2) and (3), while approved, are actually not made use of.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

More than one OB is submitted per target star. However, not more than
 one OB is to be carried out per night. Ideally, the observations of each star should
 be distributed as much as possible over period 75. Please avoid as much as possible
 to carry out OBs in consecutive nights.

Time-Critical Aspects

None, apart from the constraints detailed in the previous paragraph.

Special Execution Requirements

None, apart from the constraints detailed in the previous paragraph.

Special Calibration Information

Only standard calibrations (flatfields, biases, ThAr) which,
in the case of observations with the iodine cell,
also include additional flatfields taken through the iodine cell.
