Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The goal of the programme is to obtain medium resolution spectra of the
host galaxies of a sample of poststarburst quasars so that absorption line widths
from the stellar component can be determined.
All targets have J-band magnitudes in the range 16-17, so acquisition can be done
on the target itself.
Please center the target on the slit. With a nod throw of 30 arcsec, the regions
with bad slit transmission around pixels 93 and 688 should be avoided.
All slit position angles are 90 degrees (along E-W), except for two sources. The
slit positions are marked on the finding charts with a long thin line.
Target SDSSJ010226-003904 has higher priority than the rest of the targets in this
run because it will be used as a quasar template during the fitting.
The magnitude of the brightest star in the field given in the OB corresponds to
the brightest star within the field of the finding charts (3x3 arcmin).

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 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 ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in the 'Instrument Comments' field of each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
