Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 7.85

General Description

• The objective of this run is to obtain high resolution, high signal-to-noise
   (>200), flux calibrated spectra of 5 stars in the near infrared (centered on
   860 nm).
  This requires attached flatfield calibration exposures for fringing correction,
   as well as observations of spectrophotometric standard stars contiguously to the
   science targets. Note that the combined execution time for each target and its corresponding
   standard star is not more than one hour.
  One of the targets (GJ 544B) requires four observations which will be added to obtain
   the required signal-to-noise.
  Four of the targets are the fainter components of binary systems which might require
   special care at acquisition. Binary information is indicated on the finding charts.
  In the finding charts, the target position is marked with a yellow plus sign close
   to the center of the chart. Yellow crosses mark artifacts contained in some of the
   2MASS J band images.

Special Calibration Information

• Observing blocks for spectrophotometric standard stars are included. The
   names of these OBs are the same as those of the corresponding target OBs, with "CAL"
   added at the beginning. A "CAL" OB has to be executed immediately following the
   corresponding target OB.
