Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
27.9999h
General Description
In this run I would like to obtain high accuary spectroscopic mass ratios for 4 Close Binaries: V758 Cen, V747 Cen, CX Vir and FT Lupi. Although I proposed 6 targets in phase 1, in the phase 2 I prepared observing blocks for four targets. I selected only targets with the highest "scientific importance" and with very good ephemeris (FS Lupi has poorly determined ephemeris). The probability of execution of all necessary blocks during the 77 period was also taken into account (therefore FO Hya was rejected). Every target need to be observed in both quadratures: in the first (phases 0.15-0.35, q1) and in the second (phases 0.65-0.85, q2) (see "Time-Critical Aspects" for further details). If one of the quadratures will be not observed, the existing observations obtained during other quadrature can be not published. This is due to the fact, that for accurate determination of mass ratio also the velocity of mass-center must be known, so both quadratures must be covered by data. For every target also 1-3 radial velocity standard stars need to be observed as well. They are necessary in the process of radial velocity determination. The spectral types of radial velocity standards are later then spectral types of primary components. Otherwise secondary component could not be detected. In order to be sure that telluric lines do not contaminate radial velocity measurments I propose to observe very rapidly rotating star (telluric standard), once per night. Thank you, Michal Siwak
Waiver Requests
WaiverID: 077.D-0789A.01 Submitted: 29 Jan 2006 Approved: 03 Feb 2006 Short summary: The waiver to execute single observing blocks with duration up to 3.5h was granted. I prepared blocks with duration from 2h25min (FT Lupi) up to 3h06min (CX Vir). Other blocks with calibration stars are shorter than 1h.
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
The observations can be executed through thin cirrus. They can be also executed during bright time. Exceptions: 1. Please, do not execute my blocks if bright Moon illuminates cirrus on a target position. 2. Also it will be good to avoid the situations when moonlight fall on primary mirror (or even on the secondary's mirror surface). I proposed 35 degress distance between Moon and targets (30deg or less for calibration stars). Please change a bit the distance if necessary, i.e. when you see that Moon illuminates primary mirror. This is especially important for radial velocity standards. Reason: Both described above situations may produce sollar spectrum in my scientific and calibration spectra. This can make them useless.
Time-Critical Aspects
Please execute my scientific observing blocks during detailed time interwals
given below in UNIVERSAL TIME (GMT).
The execution should be started near the first time limit given below or a bit later.
They should be stopped near the time when the second time limit is reached (+/-15min).
The data obtained 0.5h before or after time intervals given below can be useless.
PLEASE, OBSERVE EACH TARGET IN BOTH QUADRATURES: q1 AND q2. PLEASE, EXECUTE ONE
SCIENTIFIC BLOCK "targetname-q1" DURING FIRST QUADRATURE (in the course of time
intervals marked below by "q1") AND SECOND BLOCK "targetname-q2" DURING SECOND QUADRATURE
(in the course of time intervals marked by "q2").
The form of the table was consulted with USD (ticket no.: USD-15319).
Instead of second table with suggestions, which OB can be executed on a given data,
I would like to give you the following one, shorter suggestions, which as I hope,
will help you in better execution of my blocks:
1. Please try to execute first CX Vir and V747 Cen as they have the smallest amount
of time interwals (user priority 1).
2. V758 Cen is the only target accesible during some part of bright time (middle
April,May), please observe it then, don't worry about telluric standard, which can
be close to Moon
(user priority 2).
3. Th observations of FT Lupi can be started when other targets will be finished,
or earlier, when it will be impossible to observe other targets (user priority 3).
I think, that you can alone better than me decide which OB should be executed during
given night. I don't like to limit too much the flexibility of service mode...
Thank you, Michal Siwak

Special Execution Requirements
1. CX Vir and V747 Cen have the smallest amount of time intervals. If there are many optional choises during given night, please observe them first. 2. V758 Cen and its calibration stars are distant from the Moon during bright time. You can observe them during that time (middle April, May, June). Don't hestitate if telluric standard will be close to the Moon. I proposed 3sec equivalent time for ThAr+Ne lamp in OBJ_CAL mode, based on a sample of recently obtained spectra (August 2005). By the short time I would like to avoid a spectrum contamination by the calibration lamp. Please change this integration time a bit if necessary. Thank You Michal Siwak
Special Calibration Information
***If you plan to execute my scientific observing block please execute
also 2-4 calibration OBs (1-3 radial velocity standards and 1 telluric standard)
during the same night.***
They are necessary for radial velocity measurments and for telluric lines removal.
Below I prepared a table with names of scientific blocks and with proper names of
required calibration blocks (the same names you can find in the Calibration Requirements
tab, in scientific blocks).

I prepared as many sets of calibration blocks as necessary. I assumed that all my
scientific blocks will be executed independently and during different nights.
If during given night you plan to execute 2 or more blocks with my scientific targets
and the sky is clear or photometric, do not execute for the second time calibration
blocks with the same calibration standard stars. (You can save some observing time.)
In details:
- If you plan to observe V758 Cen and other target (CX Vir, V747 Cen, FT Lupi),
please execute the OB HD102870-x only one time (if the first data were obtained
in good conditions).
- If you plan to observe two different targets (other than V758 Cen), please execute
only one set of calibration blocks: HD102870-x, HD126053-x, HD138549-x, HR5489-x
(if the first data set was obtained in good conditions).
- If you plan to observe two quadratures of the same star during one night, please
execute only one set of calibration OBs with required standard stars (if the sky
was clear when the first set was executed).
Thank you,
Michal Siwak
