General Description
This program aims at :
1) obtaining 2D spectroscopy of the dwarf starburst galaxy SBS 0335-052. We use
the 3" FOV and the two grisms H and K. We use the laser guide star and a bright
star at about 57" from the galaxy as tip-tilt reference. In case this star turns
to be not suitable for the purpose, the brightest cluster of the galaxy could be
used as well, though we suspect it is too faint as it has a K magnitude of about
17.
Please center the field as indicated in the zoomed finding chart.
The sky is acquired OFF source in an empty region 30" to the north of the main target.
As spectroscopic reference star we would like a specral type G2V if possible.
The observer should feel free to optimize the acquisition parameters if those selected
are not suitable.
8 OBs in total:
SBS0335_K_1
SBS0335_H_1
SBS0335_K_2
SBS0335_H_2
SBS0335_K_3
SBS0335_H_3
SBS0335_K_4
SBS0335_H_4
2) obtaining 2D spectroscopy of the dwarf galaxies UM 461 and Mrk 36. We use the
8" FOV and the grisms H and K. The AO loop must be closed on the brightest source
in the galaxies which is indicated by a black square in the zoomed 8x8 finding chart.
The sky is acquired OFF source in a region 30" away form the target, this region
should be free of bright objects.
As telluric star a G2V spectral type is preferred.
The observer should feel free to optimize the observing parameters as needed.

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 indicate the magnitude of the brightest object in the field in
each SINFONI OB?
If you are using the AO: Did you indicate for every OB the magnitude
of the guide star, and its distance to the target (if any)?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle: did you
check carefully the definition in the manual?
Did you make really sure that none of your OBs ever saturates the detector?
If you are using the AO: did you enter the correct Strehl Ratio (on-axis,
K-band) AND the seeing value in the constraint set?
