General Description

• This program is aimed at imaging SNe in their nebular phase or during
   transition to their nebular phase.  Our targets are 3 Type Ib/c core-collapse SNe,
   one of which (SN2006aj) was associated with an X-ray Flash, and SN2005hk, suspected
   to be mistyped as Ia and to be actually a core-collapse SN.  This photometry serves
   primarily the purpose of calibrating precisely the simultaneous spectra.
  
  SUMMARY TABLE FOR OBSERVATIONS TO COMPLETE THE RUN (SN2006jc):
  
  20-30 MARCH:
  
  spectroscopy   D-0246(A)  FORS2       |      photometry D-0246(B)   FORS1 or FORS2
  SN2006jc_MARCH_I_1                    |    SN2006jc_MARCH_fors1  or  SN2006jc_MARCH_fors2
  SN2006jc_MARCH_I_2	    	      |
  SN2006jc_MARCH_I_3		      |
  SN2006jc_MARCH_I_4		      |
  SN2006jc_MARCH_I_5		      |
  				      |
  CAL_GD71_MARCH_I  (standard connected |
       to the observations of SN2006jc) |
  
  The target will be faint, for the spectroscopy we putted an offset from the star
   number 1 (see finding chart)
  
  Since in the last run, we had some problems with the standard of the calibration
   plan,
  we would like that the OB "CAL_GD71_MARCH_I" will be executed during the same night
   of 
  the OB "SN2006jc_MARCH_I_1".

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• No critical constraints

Time-Critical Aspects

• The spectroscopy (with FORS2, Run A, scheduled in class B) will trigger
   the photometry
  (with FORS1, Run B, class A) as a "time critical" observation for execution "as
   soon as
  possible" - ideally during that night.  For convenience, we have prepared, besides
   FORS1 photometric OBs, also FORS2 photometry OBs, in case it is judged more convenient
  to perform - for some or all targets and/or epochs -  both spectroscopy and photometry
   with same instrument. This is not in contradiction with the Phase I proposal: although
   we had then designated FORS1 and FORS2 as primary instruments for photometry and
   spectroscopy, respectively, we had also indicated that the instruments could be
   alternated.
