General Description

This program aims at obtaining high S/N (200-300) and high resolution
 spectra of a sample of planet-host stars. These spectra will be used to determine
 accurate stellar parameters and chemical abundances for these stars.  In general,
 the stars are bright. The exposure times were computed for a seeing of 2.0''. According
 to the UVES ETC, down to seeing of 0.5'' no saturation will occur though, except
 for HD62509, where a seeing above 0.8'' is important to avoid saturation.  Given
 the brighness of the targets, no finding charts are needed (the stars completely
 saturate
the DSS image).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

Targets bright. For all stars, if seeing above 0.5'' do not execute OBs
 (saturation).
For HD62509 only observe if seeing above 0.8''.

Time-Critical Aspects

```
No time critical aspects
```

Special Execution Requirements

```
No special execution requirements.
```

Special Calibration Information

Only need for usual ThAr and FF calibrations with enough S/N

ToO Information

```
This is not a ToO program.
