General Description

• To prepare ESA's GAIA mission, near-IR spectra of massive stars -obtained
   with NTT ech. mode (ech #9, cross-disp #4, 5800-9900 A, R=9700 for a 1" slit- are
   needed for each combination of spectral subtype and luminosity class, i.e. WN4/5/6/7/8/9/11,
   WC4/5/6/7/8/9, O3.5V, O4V, O5III/V, O5.5III/V, O6I/III/V, O6.5f?p/I/III/V, O7I/III/V,
   O7.5II/III/V, O8I/III/V, O8.5I/V, O9I/II/III/IV/V, O9.5 I/III/IV/V, O9.7 I, OC9.7I,
   ON9III, and ON9.7I. To facilitate service mode scheduling, we have provided, whenever
   possible, a few objects for each subtype/luminosity combination: you simply have
   to choose the object that suits you most regarding your schedule. If not otherwise
   noted, slit can be oriented in any direction. In addition, a few binaries should
   also be observed to test disentangling: WR46 (once), WR25 (once), WR22 (once), WR79
   (2 obs. separated by at least P/4+kP), WR69 (idem), HD93403  (idem), HD152248  (idem),
   In total, there should thus be 20 observations of WR (18 different sources, 2 observed
   twice) and 41 observations of O-type stars (39 different sources, 2 observed twice).
   NB: I won't have access to e-mail from July 14 to Aug 16!

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Since we want flux-calibrated spectra, the sky should be photometric or
   clear.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Binaries : when two observations are requested, they should not necessarily
   be taken during the same period, because everything is defined at kP (P=period,
   k=integer). Example: if one observagion is taken at T, the other should be taken
   between T+kP+P/4 and T+kP+3P/4 (see details on the period value for each case).
