General Description

• - The goal is to find/exclude radial-velocity variations on a time scale
   of about 150d
    in a series of 11 observations spread more or less randomly over the Apr-Sep season.
    PLEASE OBSERVE THE TARGET NOT MORE THAN ONCE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. 
  
  - The science target is located in a crowded field of the Galactic Bulge. 
    V-band and I-band finder charts are supplied for a scale of 10x10 armin2 and 2x2
   arcmin2. 
    The science target is best identified in the I-band finders.
    
  - Due to the crowdedness of the field, it is likely the sky fiber will include a
   star which
    is not a problem unless the star is so bright that it contaminates the science
   spectrum on
    the CCD. For a separation of the fibers of 2.9 arcmin, a fiber diameter of 2 arcsec,
   and an 
    East-West orientation of the fibers, it is expected no bright star falls in the
   skyfiber.
  
  - The spectral type of the science target is M5III (I=13, V-I=3.5), therefore most
   signal is 
    expected in the red.

Special Calibration Information

• - Each science OB has an associated calibration OB to observe a radial-velocity
    standard (V=2.7, spT=M0.5III). Please observe science and calibration stars consecutively.
  
    NOTE: at the end of the season, the science and calibration stars can be observed
   together
    only during the first hours of the night. E.g. on 1 Sep '06, they are both above
   airmass~2 
    for the first ~2h of the night.
