General Description

• High-resolution spectroscopy of water vapour (2.04-2.13 microns) and CO
   first overtone (2.29-2.35 microns) in disk surrounding young star.  Target is bright
   (V=7.7, K = 5.5) and point-like.  Target = NGS star = SV star.  As target is far
   to the North (+29 degrees), it will always be at relatively high airmass, so it
   will have to be observed within 1 hour from the meridian.  An OB for a telluric
   standard is also provided, to be observed immediately BEFORE the science OB.
  
  As part of the science goals is to demonstrate to the OPC the feasibility of detecting
   water in protoplanetary disks with CRIRES, and due to the R.A. of the target, these
   observations cannot be done before early September, we request the data to be transferred
   immediately to the P.I. after the completion of this observations, so we can include
   these data in a P81 proposal to be submitted to the OPC before Oct 1st.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Observations to be conducted before mid-September, and data to be transferred
   immediately to the P.I.

Special Execution Requirements

• Start by observing the telluric standard "CAL_MWC480", to be followed
   immediately by the science OB "SCI_MWC480".  If the latter OB runs into the morning
   twilight, that is acceptable.

Special Calibration Information

• An OB for a telluric standard star is provided, "CAL_MWC480", which is
   to be executed immediately before the science observation.

Do the README file and the instrument comments of the telluric stars
 OBs include the required S/N/pixel of the spectrum of the telluric star, its spectral
 type and allowed spectral range?

• YES

Do any OBs include wavelength or flatfield calibrations?

• NO

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
 files to your OBs?

• N/A

If the slit viewer guide star is different from the target, are the RA
 and DEC offsets accurate to within 0.05 arcsec and do they take into account the
 relative proper motion between the two objects?

• N/A

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first for objects
 at similar RA, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs?

• N/A
