General Description

The goal of the program is to obtain single Js and H-band observations
 of type Ia supernovae at intermediate redshifts (z=0.03-0.20) that will be discovered
 by the SDSS-II in September 2007. The observations are simple Js and H-band jitters.
 For the 9 lowest redshift SNe (Z<0.17) the Js and H-band jitters are executed
 in one OB. For the remaining 3 SNe with z>0.17, the Js and H-band jitters are
 in two separate blocks, but idealy they should be executed close to each other.

The goal is to observe the SNe not later that 1 week after maximum light. Thus,
 we are targeting SNe that will be spectroscopically classified as Type Ia at least
 3 days before maximum light. We then requiest the observation to be performed within
 10 days after the trigger has been activated.
