Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
For each target, we need ISAAC observations close to the FORS2 ones and
ISAAC 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 (for ISAAC and SINFONI) or few days maximum (for FORS2 and others instruments).
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 runs). For SINFONI (176.C-0036(L))
and ISAAC, we have 1 spectroscopic calibration 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).

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. 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.
