Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Photometry and spectroscopy of moving target (check the ephemeris). Each
science goal is given with a calibrator which must be performed just after or before
the science OB at the same airmass. We inform that we request simultaneous observations
between the FORS (176.C-0036(A)), ISAAC (178.C-0036(B)) and SINFONI (178.C-0036(J))
runs for each object (2000 GN171 and Chariklo). The observation with FORS can confirm
the good ephemeris of the objects, which is, in general, in the center of FOV. For
Chariklo we have one photometric and one spectroscopic run (with respectively one
photometric and one spectroscopic OBs for calibration) in the case of FORS and ISAAC
runs. For 2000 GN171, we require only photometric observation with ISAAC. Each analog
star can be used after the observation of Chariklo. We request to the astronomer
to choose the calibrator with the nearest airmass.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
We require simultaneous FORS, ISAAC and SINFONI observations and particularly
to have similar airmass between our science target and the spectroscopic calibration
targets (solar analogs: SA107998 or HD147935). We give two analog stars. Each analog
star can be used after the observation of each target. We request to the astronomer
to choose the calibrator with the nearest airmass
Special Calibration Information
We give our own calibrators. In the case of spectroscopy, we give solar
analog Obs and for photometry, standard stars OBs are also given. Our calibration
Obs must be performed just before or just after our science target.
SA107998 and HD147935 for spectroscopy
S860-D for photometry

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific
Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude
and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are
not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
files to your OBs?
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make
use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities,
did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates ?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle, did you
check carefully the definition in the manual ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in the 'Instrument Comments' field of each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
