General Description

• 1.) General
  
  All OBs are named according: __,
   e.g. "HD_113766_Q_1. The running number is a duplication of the same OB, as each
   OB will be executed only once.
  
  The targets are bright enough for guiding and also have further stars with suitable
   V-band magnitudes within 5 arcmin (according to GSC-2). Thus, we haven't specified
   guide stars explicitely.
  
  
  2.) HD 72106
  
  We intend deep imaging in SiC and Q2. A finding chart taken at 11.6 um is provided.
   With VISIR this source should be seen as binary (sep = 0.78"). It is our goal to
   resolve the circumstellar emission between both components.
  
  
  3.) HD 113766
  
  We intend deep imaging in SiC and Q2 resolving the circumstellar emission between
   the components of this binary (sep = 1.335). A finding chart taken at 11.6 um is
   provided.
  
  
  4.) HD 155448
  
  This source has the highest priority ! We intend deep imaging in the PAH (on/off)
   and Q2 bands. A finding chart obtained at 11.3 um is provided: therein a rather
   point-like object (hereafter: source A) and a diffuse emission northeast of it (hereafter:
   source B) are seen. See section "Special Execution Requirements" about how the spectra
   should be obtained.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Most time of this program is spent on Q-band observations. The Q-band
   OBs should be executed when the Q-band sensitivities are as best as possible for
   a Class C run.

Time-Critical Aspects

• No coordination with other observations is required.

Special Execution Requirements

• How to take the LR-spectra of HD 155448:
  
  The slit should be centered across the peaks of the emission from source A and B
   (cf. "General Description"). This corresponds to a position angle of 50 deg (rotator
   angle 310 deg), as is indicated in the spectroscopic finding chart and implemented
   in the OB templates. Nodding is performed along the slit. 
  
  It might be a good idea to obtain the spectroscopy after an imaging exposure, but
   this is not critical as both sources should already be visible after 1 minute of
   acquisition integration. 
  
  In the spectroscopic templates we follow the PAH feature within the N-band.

Special Calibration Information

• The photometric calibrations taken by the observatory each 3 hours will
   be sufficient for us. It would be an advantage if more than one set of these standard
   star (STD) data could be made available to us, e.g. the STDs taken before and after
   execution of our OBs.
  
  The spectroscopic standard taken by the observatory will be sufficient for us.
