Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 31 hours in FEROS, 2.5 hours in EMMI

General Description

• This program consist of 31 one-hour snapshot observations of HD5980 with
   
  FEROS in parallel with 31 5-min EMMI observations, and coordinated with FUSE 
  and XMM-Newton observations, between June and December 2005.
  
  Program has been accepted in Category A.
  
  HD5980 is a Wolf-Rayet/LBV binary in the SMC. It is bright (and variable). 
  Visual magnitude of about 11. The spectrum is typical from a Wolf-Rayet
  star, i.e. it has mostly only broad *emission* lines. We are interested by
  very small variations in line profiles. This depends very much on the phase
  of the binary. 
  
  This program is VERY TIME-CRITICAL. Permanent contact with P.I. 
  (cfoellmi@eso.org) will be set in order to perform the observations
  at precise phases of the binary. See also Time-Critical Requirements.
  
  31 OBs for FEROS have been prepared. Each of them has an execution time of 
  one hour. 31 OBs for EMMI have been prepared. Each of them is about 5 minutes.
  Both FEROS and EMMI observations must be done as much as possible AT THE SAME
  TIME! Or, for the worse, during the same night. Observations on separated
  nights are useless.
  
  EMMI observations can be done with Grism 3 instead of Grism 2 if necessary.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• There is no critical observing conditions because this is a time-critical
   
  program. Therefore, observations must be carried out at given phases, and 
  must be stopped when first snow is falling, and not before...

Time-Critical Aspects

• Set 1: OBs called "HD5980-JULY-OBX", with X=1..5
  Set 2: OBs called "HD5980-BEFORE-FUSE-OBX", with X=1..6
  Set 3: OBs called "HD5980-FUSE-OBX", with X=1..10
  Set 4: OBs called "HD5980-BEFORE-XMM-OBX", with X=1..6
  Set 5: OBs called "HD5980-XMM-OBX", with X=1..3
  
  ---
  The 5 OBs of Set 1 must be performed on nights STARTING
  July 9, 10, 12, 16 and 24.
  
  The 6 OBs of Set 2 must be performed just before scheduled
  FUSE observations. Dates will be provided as soon as we
  know the FUSE dates. These correspond again to 6 
  critical phases of the binary.
  
  The 10 OBs of Set 3 must be performed DURING scheduled
  FUSE observations. Dates will be provided as soon as we
  know it.
  
  The 6 OBs of Set 4 must be performed BEFORE scheduled
  XMM observations. Dates will be provided as soon as we
  know the XMM dates. These corresponds again to 6
  critical phases of the binary. This set will likely be 
  performed in November.
  
  The 3 OBs of Set 5 must be performed DURING the scheduled
  XMM observations. Dates will be provided as soon as we know
  the XMM dates. The XMM observations are likely to be
  performed between November and December 2005.
