General Description
K and L band LR spectroscopy of the embedded clusters in starbursting/AGN
galaxies NGC7582 and NGC1097.
The goal is to measure nebular line intensities from these clusters (especially
bright lines are Pa alpha, Br gamma, Br alpha). The targets of interest are very
embedded and hence do not always correspond to the brightest K band sources: there
is no mistake in the positionning of the slit NGC1097-pos1 on the finding chart,
even if it seems to cut in two the sources, the L band images show that the clusters
are slightly offset from their K-counterparts, so the slits should be exactly positionned
as drawn on the finding charts. The positionnings should be made by centering the
slit on the nucleus, and applying the blind-offsets.
The brightest sources in the ISAAC fields around our targets are the nuclei of the
galaxies:
NGC1097: K: 10mY (K=12) L:5mJy (L=11.9)
NGC7582: K: 40mJy (K=10.5) L:175mJy (L=8)

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 submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates ?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle, did you
check carefully the definition in the manual ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
