General Description

• High resolution spectroscopy of L-dwarfs and one T-dwarf.
  
  The OBs are laid out in order to achieve a SNR between 25 and 40 over the spectral
   region in each target. Many exposures are split into three to facilitate cosmic
   ray removal. The desired SNR should be reached after summing all three exposures.
   In 2MASS1359-4034, the three exposures are split into two OBs, which should preferably
   together.
  
  All targets are nearby faint objects, they are very red. Since they are nearby,
   many have large proper motions. Not all proper motions are known.
  Two Finding Charts are included for each object, one in the I-Band (sometimes in
   the R-Band if no I-Band image was available), and one in the J-Band. In the J-Band,
   the objects are much brighter. The J-Band images are taken between 1999 and 2000,
   I- and R-band images earlier. Objects are clearly marked in the Charts. The motion
   of the objects can be easily seen in the Charts (from I-Band to J-Band) and finding
   of the relatively bright objects should no problem.
  
  The goal is just to get a nice spectrum.
  
  One telluric reference is added that can be observed any time (only once), preferably
   at relatively high air mass.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• none

Time-Critical Aspects

• none

Special Execution Requirements

• 2MASS1359-4034a and 2MASS1359-4034b should preferably be carried out directly
   after each other.
  However, this is NOT critical.

Special Calibration Information

• One telluric standard, CAL HD114772, Vmag=5.9 is provided.
  This OB can be executed any time without any connection to the other OBs. 
  It should be observed at relatively high air mass (1.5-2.) or so, but this is not
   critical.
