Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 3h59m

General Description

• The Observing Run includes 3 Herbig Ae/Be stars. We observe each science
   target at high resolution in Red mode (central wavelength 580 nm, slit width 0.3
   arcsec) at 4 position angles of the slit on the sky. For each slit position, we
   take 2 spectra. Since changing the PA of the slit is done in the acquisition template,
   4 OBs per target star are included. The actual integration time is about 1h37m,
   the total execution time is 3h59m.
  The 3 targets have disks, which we want to sample in 4 spatial directions (hence
   the 4 PAs of the slit). Our science goal is to resolve the [OI] 630.0 nm emission
   line spatially (high resolution needed) AND spatially (excellent seeing needed)
   in the spatial dimension of the detector.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Excellent seeing (<0.7 arcsec) is needed to spatially resolve the science
   objects at 630 nm.

Time-Critical Aspects

• The periods in which the targets appear (at least a few hours) at airmass
   < 2 are indicated:
  HD 100546  March-August
  HD 135344  allways
  HD 97048   March-July

Special Execution Requirements

• We suggest to start with the OBs concerning HD 100546, which is the most
   important science target. 
  The 4 OBs of one science target do not necessarily need to be executed subsequently.
