Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Straightforward imaging program of bright proto-binaries aimed to look
for
additional companions undetected so far.
We have submitted IMAGING OBs with three different filters: PAH1, PAH2 and SIV.
One source is observed with PERPENDICULAR mode, and the other two with PARALLEL.
In the case of L1551-IRS5 we have selected a chopping angle of 270 (PA=90deg) different
from the rotator angle value (= 0deg)
The IRAS 12micron fluxes of the targets are listed below:
SSV63 - 2Jy
L1551NE - 1.2Jy
L1551-IRS5 - 13Jy
They should be the brightest targets in the field.

Special Execution Requirements
GENERAL:
- we have chosen chooping amplitudes between 8"-15" to avoid the overlap with other
sources
in the field (having as a reference the 2MASS images). If this is not the case
during the
observations, please, change the chopping throw to a suitable value.
L1551_IRS5:
If the chopping amplitude of 15" does not provide a good IQ (as explained
in the user's manual, p.22), please, reduce it to a smaller value.
A good IQ is critical for this program since we are looking for close and wide
binaries.
Thanks!

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
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 the provided finding chart is at a different wavelength than the observations,
did you clearly describe in the README file how to identify the target?
Did you specify a guide star brighter than V=12mag within a field of
r=5arcmin around the science target?
