General Description

• The stars of the list have been selected by their coronal activity and
   little or nothing is known about the optical properties of many of them. The scope
   of the present observing run is to obtain high resolution spectra of these stars
   in order to determine both the chromospheric activity and the spectral type of each
   source. The higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ~ 100) is preferred -- but not mandatory
   -- for revealing inverted line profiles due to chromospheric emission. Since we
   are observing at high Galactic latitudes, we expect to obtain a non-negligible fraction
   of RS CVn binary systems. Thus, the OB of the suspected binaries has been duplicated
   with the aim of observing the star twice. We give a different priority to the duplicated
   OB in order to assure the second observation to be taken in a different night, and
   bearing in mind that our priority is to observe each star at least once. Three of
   the MK standards included in the proposal have been included for comparing them
   with the targets.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• none

Time-Critical Aspects

• No Time-Critical aspects. The obvious remarkable one is whether the star
   rises during the night. For the purpose of making the execution of the OBs easier
   to the astronomer, the time interval in which each source is visible during this
   semester is included in its OB. This "observing window" must be understood as the
   time interval in which the source will be visible (altitud > 40 degrees) for
   at least one hour during the night. Thus, the source can be observed any night of
   the defined time interval (usually several months).
