General Description
The aim of this program is to image outflows of brown dwarfs. Since we
expect
that these outflows are very faint, and only visible very close to the
objects, we want to obtain deep images with the best possible spatial
resolution. The outflows will be identified by comparing a narrow-band
image in the NB2.12 filter with a broadband image in the Ks-filter.
We submit one OB per target for the broadband image in Ks. The names of these
OBs contain the name of the target and the suffix "_BB". We submit three OBs
per target for the narrowband images in NB2.12. Their names contain the name
of the target and the suffix "_NBx", where x is either 1, 2, or 3. Overall,
these are four OBs per target, for all nine targets 36 OBs. In all OBs we use
the camera S13. In all cases, the target is the only object in the FOV. We give
the K-band magnitudes as a note in the OBs.
Please note that we want to use the dichroic N20C80 for the three brightest
targets (RhoOph-102, RhoOph32, GY5), even if this does not give us the optimum
Strehl ratio. For the remaining six targets, we use the optimum dichroic N90C10.

Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
If you have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
