Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a TOO/RRM program aimed at observing 4 GRB afterglows with RRM.
The OBs of this FORS2 run (275.D-5021C) consist of a ToO spectroscopy
OB (ToO_followingRRM_lss), and an imaging ToO OB (ToO_img).
The LSS OB should ideally follow up on the RRM activation of run
275.D-5021A in case a counterpart could be identified by either the
night astronomer or members of our team that are on alert.
The imaging OB is meant as a substitute for the RRM imaging OB of
FORS2 run 275.D-5021A in case the RRM could not be activated
(e.g. ISAAC was being used). In this case we will request (through
the RRM/TOO alert email that we will send at the time of the RRM
activation) this OB to be executed as soon as possible.
Please make the data available as soon as possible, so members of our
team can immediately inspect the images for an afterglow. A
subsequent RRM or TOO trigger may follow later on.
Waiver Requests
For all runs of 275.D-0521, two Waiver Requests were submitted and approved:
1) to allow for the night astronomer to try and identify the afterglow,
and if successful, to execute the ToO_followingRRM_lss OB from the queue.
2) to allow for the ToO_followingRRM_lss OB to be longer than 1 hour

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
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 ?
If you have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS2 Phase 2 web page ?
