Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
We are searching for the absorption signatures of gas clouds produced
by
sublimating comets grazing the white dwarf G29-38. We focus on the Ca II doublet
stellar lines around 393 nm and 397 nm, and try to evidence extra absorptions around
those two lines. These absorptions should be both variable in wavelength/radial
velocity and intensity in the vicinity of the stellar lines. We expect the cometary
absorptions to be around 10% of the stellar line intensity. We aim at obtaining
a S/N of 70-100 with a resolution of 3 km/s, in order to have a 10-sigma detection.
Waiver Requests
Critical Observing Condition Constraints
Time-Critical Aspects
We need that each OB (or each Run in our case) be scheduled some nights
apart (i.e., no more than one OB per night). However, they can be randomly scheduled
and do NOT need to be programmed over contiguous nights.

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 ?
If you need secondary guiding, are there suitable objects within 30 arcsec
from your target ?
