General Description

The goal of these observations is to study the kinematics of a sample
 of LIRGs.
Since we only want to focus on kinematic aspects, calibrations such as the absolute
flux are not required.

We have divided the proposal in 20 observing blocks, one for each of 
our galaxies and they can be executed independently.

Seeing can be as large as 1,5 arcsec, and thin cirrus are tolerable

We are going to use the HR_orange grism instead the HR_red specified in the Phase1.
 We made this request to 
ESO on August 2, and received the aproval on August 2.

Even a small subset of the whole sample would be very useful

Waiver Requests

As the execution time of each OB is greater than 1h05min, we requested
 a waiver (076.B-0479A.01) on July 12. The waiver was approved (on July 26) by Paranal
 Science Operations.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

This program does nor require critical observing conditions. 
Seeing can be as large as 1.5 arcsec, and thin cirrus are aceptable.

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 ?

```
N/A
```

Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?

```
N/A
```

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris files to your OBs?

```
N/A
```

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 ?

```
N/A
```

Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam ?

```
N/A
```

Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view ?
