Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 3.98

General Description

• The idea of the project is to gather 4 FEROS observations of two rather
   bright O-type stars (one has m_V=5.9, the other m_V=8.6) in order to find out whether
   they are long-period binary systems and establish their orbital solutions. Therefore,
   the observations should ideally be spread over the entire period 75 with a separation
   of at least a few weeks between two consecutive observations. I have prepared four
   OBs for each target. Following the schedule for service mode runs at the 2.2m telescope,
   I have specified consecutive and non-overlaping time windows of 4 - 8 weeks (April
   1 - May 20, May 25 - June 20, June 25 - July 31, August 10 - September 30) for these
   OBs. Note that both targets need not be observed on the same nights.

Time-Critical Aspects

• As stated above the observations should be spread over the entire duration
  of period 75 with a separation of at least a few weeks between 2 consecutive
  pointings. 
  Therefore, the four OBs have consecutive and non-overlaping time windows of 
  about 1 - 1.5 month:
  9_sgr_obs1 and HD168112_obs1: April 1 - May 20
  9_sgr_obs2 and HD168112_obs2: May 25 - June 20
  9_sgr_obs3 and HD168112_obs3: June 25 - July 31
  9_sgr_obs4 and HD168112_obs4: August 10 - September 30
  Note that both targets need not be observed on the same nights.
