Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 12.5

General Description

• Deep MXU spectroscopy of intermediate-redshift spiral galaxies to determine
   the stellar velocity dispersion in their bulges. 10 MXU exposures with ~3500 sec
   integration time each (OB extension approved under Waiver-ID 079.B-0603A.01). Every
   exposure is done with a single OB. The MXU slits are partly aligned with the galaxies'
   apparent major axes to extract rotation curves.
  
  The 10 science OBs are named sciMXU_sigmax01_01, ..., sciMXU_sigmax01_10.
  
  Since we do not have special calibration requirements, no calibration OBs were submitted.
  
  Two finding charts are assigned to each science OB: 
  one full FOV (079.B-0603A.001.jpg) and one magnified (079.B-0603A.002.jpg).

Waiver Requests

• A Waiver Request for OB extension to 75 min including overheads was submitted
   on Feb 6 and approved on Feb 7. 
  
  WaiverID: 079.B-0603A.01

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• We positively need seeing of 1.0 arcsec FWHM or better or reach the angular
   resolution required to determine the stellar velocity dispersion and extract rotation
   curves from the spectra.

Time-Critical Aspects

• None

Special Execution Requirements

• The _same PI_ has another program in P79 at _very similar coordinates_
   and with the _same_ observational constraints (PID 079.B-0246(A)). 
  
  Please finish _all_ OBs belonging to one program first before executing any of the
   OBs from the other program. 
  
  The reason for this request is that we really need the full S/N to achieve our science
   goals.
