General Description

This programme looks at the large scale (i.e. extended over several arcsec)
 kinematics in a few AGN for which we also have adaptive optics data. The features
 of interest are the H2 1-0S(1) line at 2.12microns and the CO bandheads longward
 of 2.3microns - with which we can trace the velocity and dispersion of both the
 gas and stars.

Because the extended emission is faint, we need to integrate for relatively long
 times (although the AGN itself is rather bright).

And because we are interested in stellar kinematics, it is necessary to observe
 some velocity standards (i.e. the HD* targets, which also need their own telluric
 standards).

Special Execution Requirements

Because there are 4 OBs for each galaxy (covering 2 wavelength settings
 at 2 position angles), it would be preferable to complete all OBs for each galaxy
 before moving on to the next.

It is also important that at least 1 of the HD* velocity standard sars is observed.
 However, the integration time on these is not important, and I would be happy for
 the Service Observer to adjust it if necessary (e.g. saturation, etc).

The user priorities have been set to reflect these wishes.

Special Calibration Information

Please use OBA stars (rather than G2V stars) for telluric standards
