Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
We will obtain UVES and Giraffe spectra of candidate members of three
old open clusters.
The main goals are: i) the determination of the cluster chemical composition, to
be obtained from the analysis of UVES spectra of clump stars, and ii) the determination
of radial velocities and membership of subgiant and turn-off stars to be observed
with Giraffe.
We will operate Giraffe in Medusa mode with the high resolution HR9A for two of
the clusters (Be29 and Be20), while for To2 we will use HR15N to cover the Li I
607.8 nm line. For all the clusters we will use UVES with the 580 nm setup.
For Be20 we submit one configuration only (6 OBs), while for To2 and Be29 we submit
two
configurations (3+3 and 4+4 OBs, respectively); UVES targets were not changed, while
we changed part (the brightest ones) of the Giraffe targets.
The S/N ratios specified in the "Instrument Comments" boxes refer to UVES spectra.

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 ?
Did you specify in your OBs the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ?
Did you specify in your OBs the magnitudes of FACBs and Guide Star for
all your fields ?
Are the FACBs and Guide Star in the brightness ranges specified in the
FLAMES manual ?
Did you enter the expected signal to noise in your OBs ?
