General Description

• The aim of the project is to detect planets orbiting young stars by
  means of precise radial-velocity measurements using the
  ThAr-simultaneous reference method. The observations are thus similar to
  other planet search programs on HARPS. There are 5 to 8 OBs per star for
  taking 5 to 8 spectra of each star in this semester. There are more OBs
  for those stars that are observable most of this semester.  The main
  purpose is to detect planets of relatively short periods that is, down
  to periods of three days.  Thus, ANY spacing of the observations of the
  same star is fine, even consecutive nights, as long as the separation
  between the first and the last spectrum of this star is about a month
  (or larger). I put in the user priorty for each target. A 1 means high
  priority, and 10 is the lowest priority. Generally speaking, objects of 
  low preority have a larg vsini and thus only a low accuracy of the 
  RV mearurements (e.g. 10-20 m/s) can be achieved.

Waiver Requests

• Project 075.C-0202(A) is a direct continuation of 074.C-0037(A). In 074.C-0037(A)
   we
  observed BE Cet and HD 105. Since these two stars can also be observed in this
  semester, and since the RV data from 074.C-0037(A) which I just received shows
  cleary RV-avriations, I would like to take 5 additional spectra of these stars
  in order to find out, whether these stars have planets or not.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• This program can be carried in almost any wheather conditions.

Time-Critical Aspects

• The project is not time-critical.

Special Execution Requirements

• No

Special Calibration Information

• Just standard callibartions for high precision RV-measurements are 
  needed (As discribed in the HARPS manual page 14). That is at the 
  beginning of the night: 1xbias, Flat fiber A, Flat fiber B, 5xFlat 
  fiber AB, 2xThAr fiber AB.
