General Description

• This project carries out longslit spectroscopy of three quasar Narrow-Line
   Regions.
  The quasars PG1012+085 and PG1307+085 are part of this run A.
  
  The best observing period, taking into account the observing conditions
  and elevation, is 5th to 10th of april or 5th to 10th of may.
  
  Grism GRIS_300V+10 with filter GG375+30 is selected, yielding a wavelength coverage
   of
  3850-8650 A with a dispersion of 11.2 nm/mm. With redshifts of 0.187 (PG1012+085)
  and 0.155 (PG1307+085), we will obtain emission lines from [OII] 3727 A to [SII]
   6731 A.
  
  The total integration time is split into several exposures to match the one hour
   OB length and to improve cosmic ray rejection. One additional short exposure of
   300 sec (PG1012+085) and 180 sec (PG1307+085) will be taken for each object.
  
  A slit width of 0.7 arcsec is chosen. The slit shall be centered on the bright nucleus.

Waiver Requests

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Sky transparency: Clear
  Seeing: better than 0.8 arcsec
  Airmass: less than 1.5
  Lunar illumination: 0.1, dark time
  Minimum moon angular distance: 75 degree, dark time

Time-Critical Aspects

• none

Special Execution Requirements

• Please complete all the OBs for one quasar
  before proceeding with the other quasar.
  If possible, please carry out the OBs directly after one another
  for each quasar. 
  
  Please center on the bright nucleus.
  
  We defined a special OB for a standard star (G60-54) which will be used to correct
   the telluric absorption lines. Thus, we used the same slit width as our scientific
   objects, but one observation is enough.
  Please try to observe this object at a similar airmass as our scientific objects
   and close by in time of one of the six scientific OBs.

Special Calibration Information

• If possible, please use the standard star G60-54 or GD108 as normal spectrophotometric
   standard star.
  
  Standard calibration is required.
