General Description

• This is a target-of-opportunity program aimed at polarimetry (run A,B)
   and spectroscopy
  (run C) of an afterglow of a long or short gamma-ray burst.

ToO Information

• Coordinates and a findingchart will be submitted together with the ToO
  request. This request will contain OBs that will be selected from the
  submitted OBs.
  
  Please make the data (both science and calibration) available through
  ftp a.s.a.p., so we can analyze the data and immediately determine
  our strategy for following nights.
  
  Considering the fact that this is a ToO program, the observing strategy
  may change a bit, perhaps leading to slight changes in the prepared OBs. We will
  communicate these clearly to the observer.
  
  Note that, to be able to deal with different ToO strategies, we may have
  submitted more OBs than our allocated time allows for. We will, however,
  take care not to override the total allocated time.
  
  This is a target-of-opportunity program, aimed at finding the redshift of the
  afterglow of the GRB studied in programs 078.D-0041(A) and (B).
