General Description

We want to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of a sample of Lyman-break
 galaxies.

The emission lines observables with the H+K grism will be used to measure the dynamical
mass trough the rotation curve and/or the virial mass trough the line width.
One object (MD287) has z=2.39 therefore we will observe Hbeta, [OIII] and Ha.
The other three objects have redshifts between 3.2 and 3.4, therefore the [OII],
 Hbeta and [OIII] lines are expected in the H and K band.

We will use a spaxel size of 0.1".
Except for MD287, all the objects are compact enough that the observations can be
 taken by dithering the object within the IFU field-of-view of 3". For MD287 a more
 typical ON-OFF strategy will be used.

With respect to the approved proposals, we decided not to observe MD376 in order
 to increase the exposure times on the other objects.

The magnitudes of the reference stars are:

object     R       H
-----------------------
C131      13.4    12.4
C171      14.6    14.0
M80       14.5    14.0
MD287     15.0    14.5

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 indicate the magnitude of the brightest object in the field in each SINFONI OB?

If you are using the AO: Did you indicate for every OB the magnitude of the guide star, and its distance to the target (if any)?
