Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 2hr

General Description

• This is a Target of Opportunity/Rapid Response Mode programme to follow
   up as rapidly as possible candidate high-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The requested
   OBs must therefore be executed as soon as possible after we have triggered the override.
  
  Note: to cover all the possibilities, we have made one (and only one) OB for each
   configuration we may conceivably wish to use. However we may need to repeat a given
   OB once or twice to achieve long (>1hr total execution time) exposures. We understand
   this is only possible for ToOs, not RRMs. Therefore we have made as many copies
   of each RRM as we may wish to use.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None

Time-Critical Aspects

• This is a ToO programme, and the requested OB should be executed as soon
   as possible after we trigger the override. Otherwise the target may become too faint
   to detect.
