General Description

• This Program is a ToO which deals with very faint and variable IR
  sources.  The main aim is to study the IR variability followed by
  X-ray/G-ray activity. The Program is composed of 4 Runs (A and B: imaging,
  C: polarimetry, D: spectroscopy): C and D will only be triggered in
  the event that a source from A turns out to be sufficiently
  bright. 
  
  OBs corresponding to 11 sources (10 known, 1 unknown) have been
  submitted. Up to 2 sources could be triggered during the Period. 
  
  Each trigger is made up of 3 epochs (in order to follow the source
  decay behavior).  Each epoch has 1 OB.
  
  The OB for the first epoch should be carried out as soon as possible
  after the trigger, followed by a second pointing to be decided once 
  the first epoch files will be checked. 
  
  We submitted OBs for a total execution time of about 16.5hr (1.5hr x 11
  sources). 
  
  We request to make available the relevant scientific and calibration files 
  as soon as possible through the ftp server at Paranal.
