General Description

• For each target, we need ISAAC observations close to the FORS2 ones and,
   if possible, simultaneously with SINFONI. Photometry and spectroscopy of moving
   target (check the ephemeris).  Each science goal is given with a calibrator which
   must be performed just after the science OB at the same airmass. We inform that
   we request almost simultaneous observations between the FORS2 (176.C-0036(P)), ISAAC
   (178.C-0036(Q)) and SINFONI (178.C-0036(L)) runs for each object. Simultaneous is
   acceptable within few hours. The observation with FORS2 can confirm the good ephemeris
   of the science target, which is, in general, in the center of FOV. For each object
   we have one photometric and one spectroscopic run (with respectively one photometric
   and one or several spectroscopic OBs for calibration) in the case of FORS and ISAAC
   runs. For SINFONI (176.C-0036(JK)), we have 1 spectroscopic OB for each science
   target. 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. For the observations
   with SINFONI, the objects, in general too faint, are not visible after the pre-acquisition
   images (do not loose time to check the finding charts).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Observe at the lowest airmass (look the constraint set) and only at the
   beginning of the night.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Critical periods: do not observe the following targets in the
  indicated periods, because of small moon distance/ bright star in the
  field of view.

Special Execution Requirements

• We require nearly simultaneous FORS, ISAAC and SINFONI observations: ISAAC
   observations must be performed immediately after FORS2 observation and in parralel
   with SINFONI if possible. Particularly, we require to have similar airmass between
   our science target and the calibration target. We give one or several analog stars.
   Each solar analog 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

• List of our calibrator for each target. We request to astronomer to choose
   the spectroscopic standard with the nearest airmass is possible For 2060: Spectroscopic
   standard: CAL_LD112_1333 For 44594: Spectroscopic standard: CAL_HD210078 For 73480:
   Spectroscopic standard: CAL_LD115_271
  For 120178: Spectroscopic standard: CAL_LD112_1333
  
  In photometry, the calibration OBs are CAL_PG2331+055_PHOT for the object 73480,
   CAL_SA113239_PHOT for the object 120178, CAL_SA113239b_PHOT for the object 44594
   and finally CAL_MarkA_PHOT for the object 2060
