General Description

The goal is to compare the distance scale of Cepheids and eclipsing binaries
through the measurement of LMC Cepheids in eclipsing binaries.
The immediat objective in period 75 is to complete the radial velocity (Vr) curves
 of three LMC
Cepheids. For that purpose we need low signal/noise (S/N~5) FEROS spectra
at the dates specified in the calendars bellow (_see Time-Critical Aspects_ !).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

The goal is to measure the Cepheid _periodic_ Vr curve. The main difficulty
 is
the appropriate sampling of both the pulsation and the orbital motion.

Each Observing Block (OB) is one measurement for one object at a given pulsation
and orbital phase.
That OB may be observed at the epoch specified in the calendar attached bellow
(see Appendix). Each OB is observed only once.
No time constrain will be insert in the OB itself since specifying multiple
observation time windows (i.e. same pulsation phase at different epoch) is
not possible.

Note that most of the OBs ave priority 2 while OBs with '_max'/'_min' extension
have _first priority_ ! (Maximum/minimum oribital velocity expected).

Time-Critical Aspects

*******************************
*** Appendix 1: OB Calendar ***
*******************************

The OBs must be observed at an appropriate pulsation and orbital phase which 
corresponds to different calendar dates. Since it is not possible to specify a lot
of time constrains in the OB we provide bellow a list of observation dates for each
 OB.
The calendar is as follow:
column: date (local date at the beginning of the night)
row: OB Name.

OB Names:
--------
Science OBs are named as follow: _ 
For example MA06.6454.5_011 for pulsation phase 01, orbital phase 1 of 
star MA06.6454.5. 
Note that special OBs with "_max" and "_min" extension have 
been built at the epoch of expected max/min orbital velocity. These OBs have
priority 1 while the others have priority 2.

Calibration OBs names are: CAL__
The number of calibration OBs is: 2/3*Number of science OB.
Since we are not allowed to exceed the OPC Approved Execution Time, this provide
enough calibrations if the Science OBs a reasonably scheduled.

The OBs are grouped according to the star ID and each group is separated with 
a line containing the star name and the nights dates.
For example:
                      Day ==>       + 
OB Name               October 2004  | => Block separator: star name and dates

For a given OB and observing night one of the following code apply:
-:  no observation
A:  observation anytime during the night
H1: observation during the first half of the night
H2: observation during the second half of the night

By selecting the appropriate column, the observer knows which OB to select for
a given night and when during that night.

Standard radial velocity standards: 
Cepheids radial velocities are attached to the standard Vr system through standard
 
Vr stars. If Cepheids OBs have been scheduled, then _one_ such star has to be measured
 
during the same night. 
Please, schedule these OBs _only_ if Cepheids will be observed during the same night.

Special Execution Requirements

Standard radial velocity standards:
Cepheids radial velocities are attached to the standard Vr system through standard
Vr stars. If Cepheids OBs have been scheduled, then _one_ such star has to be measured
during the same night.
Please, schedule these OBs _only_ if Cepheids will be observed during the same night.

Special Calibration Information

_NO_ Special calibration OBs have been submitted.
Note however that all our OBs have a _2x2 binning_ of the FEROS CCD,
therefor the appropriate calibrations have to be done.
