General Description
Optical spectroscopy of very low mass objects in the Coronet Cluster with
FLAMES.
We are targeting a set of very low mass members of the Coronet cluster, aged 1 Myr,
containing late-M type stars and BD. The stars have been detected via X ray and/or
Spitzer surveys, and 2MASS and/or optical photometry has been checked to ensure
relatively low extinction. The sample contains both stars with and without disks,
and our aims are:
- To identify accretion examining the Halpha emission.
- To check youth via the Li I absorption at 6707 AA.
- To obtain spectra covering a large wavelength range that will allow us to get
accurate spectral types for the objects.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
There are no critical observing condition constraints besides the constraints
listed in the "Constraint Set" of the OBs.
We would require clear weather (not necessarily photometric), a seeing up to 1.0,
airmass up to 2.0, lunar illumination 0.8 at 60 degrees from object minimum.
Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
Special Calibration Information
No special calibration is required, besides the standard bias, flats and
comparison lamps taken regularly with FLAMES during day time.
Given that we do not need an extremely accurate wavelength solution, the regular
comparison lamps with the filters LR6, LR7 and LR8 are fine.

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 specify in your OBs the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ?
Did you specify in your OBs the magnitudes of FACBs and Guide Star for
all your fields ?
Are the FACBs and Guide Star in the brightness ranges specified in the
FLAMES manual ?
Did you enter the expected signal to noise in your OBs ?
