Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
We want to perform 8 radial velocity measurements for each of the 19 targets
of our program. As we are looking for hot Jupiters (orbital periods of a few days),
there should be at least one night (about 20 hours) between two successive
observations of a given target.
The total exposure time with only one observation for each of the 19 targets would
be
2347 seconds. With 8 observations for each of the 19 targets, the exposure time
is
2347*8 = 18776 seconds.
We added 232 seconds overhead for each observation; the total time of overhead for
our program is 19*8*232 = 35264 seconds.
Thus, the overall time of our program (i.e. exposures + overheads) is 18776 + 35264
=
54040 seconds, or 15 hours, that is the allocated time.
If possible, it would be appreciated that the first measurements are send to the
PI of the program at the mid-term of the period 78.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
There should be at least one night (or about 20 hours) between two
successive observations of a given target.
As we request 8 different observations for a given target, it should
thus be at least 8 nights between the first and the last observation
of a given target, but the observations can also be spread over
the whole period 78.

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 ?
