General Description

• This program carries out IFS of five Lyman Break Galaxies, that happen
   to lie
  close to bright stars. In each case, the band is chosen so that a prominent emission
   line
  is shifted into the SINFONI bandpass, allowing us to study the kinematics of these
   objects
  at high spatial resolution, and perhaps derive an accurate rotation curve if the
   kinematics
  turn out to be nice and ordered.

  None of the NGSs and targets is brighter than 6th magnitude in the NIR.
  Brightest object ever in FOV will be NGS
  
  *****************************************************************************
  OBs for Q1422-oMD38 and Q1422-C37 modified to run without A.O. as guide star
  was too faint. The new OBs have a "new" in their name, otherwise similar. 
  Total exposure time is the same, except the max exposure time has been reduced to
   
  300 s to avoid risk of saturation in K in the largest pixel scale.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None

Time-Critical Aspects

• None

Special Execution Requirements

• Could the two PSF calibrations be executed directly after an appropriate
   science OB:
  
  Any Q1422-C37 science OB followed by the PSF_for_Q1422-C37
  
  Any Q1422-oMD38 science OB followed by the PSF_for_Q1422-oMD38
  
  It would also be very helpful if these two pairs of OBs could be executed as far
   apart in time as is possible to allow for AO performance variations, if present,
   to show up.
