General Description

This programme aims at detecting periodic RV variations to confirm candidate
 extrasolar 
planets found with the transit technique, on HST ACS images.

We submit here 30 identical OBs, to be executed 1-2 per night (see time-critical
 aspects)

Just a few of the targets are candidate transits, while most of the others are control
 
stars or eclipsing binaries, hence the magnitude range is rather wide, and we have
 
included some (faint) targets with low priority, in order to use fibres (Hence,
 the 
S/N indicated in the OBs is in fact highly variable).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

None
```

Time-Critical Aspects

We would like to have 1-2 OBs executed per night, in order to optimize
 the probability
of periodicity detection.
The nights do not need to be consecutive.
