Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
We want to measure the stellar photosphere contribution by using
AMBER in LR-HK. The angular diameter is expected to be about 5mas.
Depending on the UT baseline, fringe contrast is expected
between 0.1 and 0.7 in K band (less in H band).
Mag of IW Hya is K=1.5. The V mag is variable, could be as
bright as V=8.7 but also some mag fainter. Note the star
is very red.

Concerning the use of IRIS (usd email 21/2/06):
in principle we prefer not to use IRIS, in order to obtain
H and K data simultaneously, with the understanding that
the specification of the CfP77 will be respected (i.e.
at least 3% accuracy in K band) and not affected by the
lack of IRIS. Should this turn out to be contraddicted
by practical experience with/without IRIS, we would like
to be consulted again.

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 for each science star OB the corresponding calibrator
star OB (and vice versa) in the 'Instrument Comments' field ?
If you use calibrator stars which are not in the CalVin database, did
you specify their characteristics in the README file and in the OBs ?
