General Description
the list of OB and target infos are as follows, for the entire runs of
0559(C)
OB names K mag AO guide star
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PSF_CD-406259 ~9.2 PSF cal for IRAS 08576. spt=G5, meant to
be observed after IRAS 08576
SCI_IRAS_08576-4334_P00 9.4 slit PA=0
SCI_IRAS_08576-4334_P90 9.4 slit PA=90
SCI_WL_16 7.9 slit PS
The immediate purpose of the observation is to record the diffraction limited spectrogram
of the objects, and to further compare the FWHM of spectral PSF at the emission
line (in this case CO bandhead emission at 2.295 um) with the adjuscent continuum
wavelength. By differentiating these spectral PSF, one can be sensitive down to
the 1/100 of the actual width of the PSF of the 8-m telescope.
Because the psf calibration OB CAL_CD-406259 is for spectral PSF. The spectral type
of CD-406259 is G5, it is not really used as atmospheric standars. we need and request
separate atmospheric calibration.
All the targets are bright at K, the brightest one in the field of view of 30"
x 30", but please refer the finding chart of IRAS 08576 since it is a bit detatched
from the bright clusters at about 1' east of our target.

Special Calibration Information
CD-406259 is a PSF calibration star for IRAS 08576. Please schedule this
OB (CD-406259) immediately after SCI_IRAS_08576-4334_P00 or P90 (either is fine;
but the RA of CD-406259 has been selected so that the PSF calibration star comes
about the same airmass after both of the observation, IRAS_08576-4334_P00 and P90
will be finished (estimated about an hour and a bit more).

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 you have PSF reference star OBs, do the names of those OBs begin with
PSF_ ?
If there are Finding Charts attached to your OBs, is the field-of-view
of at least one of these charts 2' x 2' (with clearly labelled field orientation)
?
Have you clearly marked and labelled your wavefront reference objects
R1, R2, R3, ... (as specified in the NAOS Preparation Software) on your Finding
Charts ?
Have you specified the magnitude of the brightest object in the field-of-view
for each OB ?
Are there objects in any of your fields (including standard stars) which
are brighter than the limits specified in the User Manual and on NACO web Pages
?
If the previous answer is yes, have you given a list of OBs and a justification
for the brightness limit violation in the general description field ?
