Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Use of FLAMES/Argus to map the kinematics, distribution, & chemical
composition of H-poor clumps embedded in 3 PN, & to study clump properties
relative to the H-rich PN gas. The metal-rich clumps are predicted to be strong
emitters of weak recombination lines, like e.g. CII 4267, OII 4089, 4649. These
lines may exhibit different RVs from strong H Balmer or [OIII] lines (if the
clumps are not well mixed with the ambient gas) & may have distinctly narrower
profiles due to their predicted origin in cold plasma (<1000K).
The 1:1 IFU is to be used in all OBs of N5882 (3hr) & N6153 (10hr). For N7009
the 1:1.67 IFU is to be used in 5 OBs (5hr) & the 1:1 IFU in 2 OBs (2hr). JPG
files show the desired IFU placing. Note: in N7009 the 1:1.67 IFU long axis is
normal to the 1:1 IFU. Top priority: to resolve the clumps in N7009 with the
small IFU either kinematically (res ~9km/s) or spatially by comparing line
ratio maps of CII4267/H4340 vs. [OIII]4363/H4340 & to measure clump T from
OII4089/4649 ratio. Formally N7009, 6153 OBs share equal priority. Desired S/N:
N7009 - CII4267~25 (HR04) & OII4649~24 (HR06); both N7009 & 6153 - S/N on
ratio
OII4089/4649~8 (LR02-03); N6153 - CII4267~30 (LR02)

not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
Did you specify in your OBs the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ?
