Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
Deep (~6 hrs) spectroscopic observations of 4 faint (I>23) host galaxies
(HG) of GRB in noAO mode.
The instrument setup is SPAXEL size 0.25 arcsec (8"x8" f.o.v.).
Each OB is composed by the two templates Sinfoni_ifs_acq_noAO (acquisition)
and Sinfoni_ifs_obs_GenericOffset (science).
In the acquisition templates we specified the blind offsets
from a nearby bright star to acquire the target.
For the three galaxies 051016, 051001, 050820 the science observations
will be composed of a sequence of AB exposures where position A is centered
on the target while position B is centered on the sky
(~20" far away the target).
For the galaxy 050124 the ABBA dither pattern moves the target from
left to right in the Sinfoni f.o.v.
Target 050124 substitutes the target 050223 originally listet in the Phase 1 proposal,
according to the Program Change request submitted to and approved by ESO-USD.
K-band Magnitude of the brightest object in the 1'x1' fields:
051016 K~14
051001 K~15
050820 K~15
050124 K~14

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?
