General Description
This programme looks at the detailed structure and kinematics of both
gas and stars in the centre of AGN and starbursts. The primary lines for doing this
are the H2 1-0S(1) at 2.12um and the CO bandheads at 1.62 and 2.30um.
NGC4945 is a very nearby highly obscured AGN with a single K-band peak, which may
be dominated by star formation rather than the AGN.
Arp220 is a powerful starburst with 2 near infrared peaks. Please be careful when
centering this to include both in the FoV (as shown in the finding chart).
In M83, there are 2 different claims as to where the central supermassive black
hole may be, neither of which is at the isophtotal centre (the bright spot top left).
Please be careful when centering the FoV, since we cover all these 3 regions in
various OBs.
In all cases, if the nucleus is saturating, please adjust DIT and NDIT appropriately.

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?
