Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a programme to obtain 8x8 arcsec FOV non-AO SINFONI IFU observations
of the central cluster galaxies in A1664, A2204 and RXJ 0747-19, using the K-band
grism.
The aim is to map the extended Pa-alpha, H_2 v=1-0, v=2-1 line emission, which in
these targets is spatially extended on scales of several arcsec, well-matched to
the IFU field of view.
Because of the crowded fields and/or extended stellar light distribution of the
science target, we will acquire 2 of the 3 fields via blind offsets from nearby
stars of comparable brighness (K=13-14).
Brightest objects in the fields shown by the 1 arcmin finding charts are:
K=13.9 (A1664), K=13 (A2204), K=11.5 (RXJ 0747)

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 ?
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)?
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?
Did you make really sure that none of your OBs ever saturates the detector?
If you are using the AO: did you enter the correct Strehl Ratio (on-axis,
K-band) AND the seeing value in the constraint set?
