Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
We intend to take 2D spectra of the nebulae surrounding the ULX source
in NGC5408 and NGC4038. We intend to take both HR-Blue and HR-Orange IFU spectra.
One our ULX target, Circinus X-2 (CG X-2), has been classified
recently (Bauer et al. 2007, BAAS, 38, 1179) as a missed young SN. We have excluded
the target from our list and concenrated on the Antennae ULX sources to complete
IFU study of all Antennae X-ray sources brighter that 10E39 erg/s.
We included night-sky 120-sec exposures in each scientific OB. Having such sky spectra
and averaging the sky per 20-30 fibers we can correctly take into account the night
sky spectrum. It would be possible to exclude some night-sky exposures if only two
subsequent OBs with the same grism are executed, to have at least one night-sky
exposure per grism.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
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 ?
Did you specify suitable guide stars for all your OBs using Guidecam
?
Did you check that the chosen guide stars are suitable for all the offset
positions and that they do not produce unacceptable vignetting of the field of view
?
