Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The program consists of taking spectra of a sample of stars.
The spectra will be used to measure the radial velocity of the star by fitting its
absorption lines. As we want to measure radial velocity variations associated to
long period binaries, we need a few spectra for each target, taken over a long time
baseline. Of the 53 objects sumitted, 35 have either FEROS archive spectra or will
be observed during the 077 period and therefore only need to be observed once. The
remaining 18 targets need to be observed twice and two OBs have been submitted for
each of those targets. To detect long periods in one given target, its two spectra
must be taken at least 20 days apart.
I have reused finding charts from other observing periods thus the Observing Run
ID on the top of the finding charts does not correspond to the present programme
ID in most cases.

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 ?
Did you set 'New Preset' flag in all acquisition templates to 'True'?
If you use any lamp, did you check that it should never be left on at
the end of any OB?
