Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The purpose of this program is to measure the radial velocity of the close
(100mas) binary TWA22AB (V=13.8 and R=12.2). Depending on the activity and the
rotation of each component that will reduce our RV precision, we hope to resolve
(in terms of RV) both spectra in order to start monitoring the radial velocities
of each component (SB2 binary).
The amplitude of both component is expected to be significant (~10 km.s-1). To monitor
the stellar rotation and the stellar activity of each component, we propose to observe
TWA22AB with a good precision (~15 m.s-1) on 4 different timescales: 3 measurements
spaced of a few hours the first night, the repeated ~1 night later, ~1 week later
and finally ~1 month later. For this reason, we have 3 OBs to be repeated at 4 different
epochs (nights):
1- TWA22_1ep_A, B, C (spaced of few hours, 1st night)
2- TWA22_2ep_A, B, C (spaced of few hours, ~1 night later)
3- TWA22_3ep_A, B, C (spaced of few hours, ~1 week later)
4- TWA22_4ep_A, B, C (spaced of few hours, ~1 month later)
(The standard 416Hz, 1, high detector mode is used)

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 ?
