Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 27.93 hr

General Description

• This VIMOS spectroscopic run is addressed to the study of internal kinematics
   and stellar populations of cluster galaxies at z~0.2 in a wide cluster region. The
   target selection was performed by using previuos spectroscopic information together
   with photometric redshifts. Therefore, each object is a reliable cluster member.
   The limiting magnitude of the sample is R=20.25.
  We prepared four masks for two pointings (two masks per pointing) by using VIMOS
   pre-imaging of the 30th of July.
  Three OBs are related to each mask in order to reach a total integration time of
   about 4.5 hr. To performe dithering along the slit the OBs last 2 hr each (see Waiver
   Requests).
  We also prepared OBs for spectrophotometric standard stars: two STD OBs for each
   mask.
  These STD OBs are intended to be executed before and after one of the three science
   OBs dedicated to each mask.

Waiver Requests

• Waiver 077.A-0637A.01.WAV asking for OBs of two hours were granted the
   26th of January 2006.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• No critical observing condition constraints are requested.

Time-Critical Aspects

• No time critical aspects for this run.

Special Execution Requirements

• We prefer to complete the observations related to one specific mask before
   starting the next.

Special Calibration Information

• For each mask we prepared two OBs for observing a spectrophotometric standard
   star. These two OBs
  should be executed before and after one of the three science OBs related to each
   mask.
