General Description

• The observing program consists of high-resolution observations of a sample
   of 115 RGB stars in 2 fields in the LMC (a field in the "LMC Outer" disk, and a
   field centered on the "LMC bar"):
  
  * 5 repeated OBs to observe the LMC_Outer field with GIRAFFE H14A setup + UVES_580.
   THIS IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY
  * 5 repeated OBs to observe the LMC_Bar field with GIRAFFE H11 setup + UVES_580
   (uv1: 7 uves targets)
  * 5 repeated OBs to observe the LMC_Bar field with GIRAFFE H11 setup + UVES_580
   (uv2: 7 different uves targets)
  * 10 repeated OBs to observe the LMC_Outer field with GIRAFFE H11 setup + UVES_580.
  
  Each of these 4 subsets of OBs will produce observations that we will CO-ADD to
   obtain our final data. We therefore prefer that each subset is COMPLETED before
   the next is started (rather than getting all setups covered with lower S/N).
  
  Both fields have already been sucessfully observed (P72 and P74 respectivelly) with
   the same guide-star and fiducial stars.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• There are no really critical constraint other than the overall S/N obtained,
   ie ~60 to 70 per pixel in the co-added images.

Time-Critical Aspects

• NA

Special Execution Requirements

• Our program consists of 4 subsets of repeated OBs:
  * 5 OBs LMC_Outer_H14
  * 5 OBs LMC_Bar_H11-uv1
  * 5 OBs LMC_Bar_H11-uv2
  * 10 OBs LMC_Outer_H11
  Each of these 4 subsets of OBs will produce observations that we will CO-ADD to
   obtain our final data.
  We therefore prefer that each subset is COMPLETED before the next is started (rather
   than getting all setups covered with lower S/N).
