Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 30 hours

General Description

• IFU spectroscopy of a sample of powerful radio galaxies at 0.15 < z
   < 0.7.
  Aims - understanding extended emission line region properties and the effects of
   the growing radio source, including the changing influence of shocks on the emission
   line gas.
  
  This program consists of a series of 3-5 OBs for a number of different sources.
    The OBs usually consist of two separate pointings, to facillitate sky subtraction
   (excepting PKS1932-46, for which the 3 pointings are on-target -- mostly sky --
   back to target with slight offset from first pointing).

Waiver Requests

• Waiver request was submitted on 02/02/05 for this proposal and subsequently
   accepted.
  Waiver was for OBs longer than 1hr in order to reduce overheads (still kept to <1hr15min
   though).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Photometric/clear sky transparencies are required, but if conditions worsen
   to variable/thin cirrus, it won't be too bad, providing this only occurs for 1 of
   the 4-5 OBs per target.  I have therefore set the observing constraints to var/thin
   for 1 OB for each target.  Hopefully this will provide the service team with a bit
   more flexibility.

Time-Critical Aspects

Special Execution Requirements

• Sources PKS2250-41 & PKS2314+03 (partially observed in P74) each have
   3 OBs and are top priority (and are marked as such).
  
  For the remaining sources, please try and complete at least 4/5 OBs for a given
   target before observing a new target.
