General Description

This is a UVES high-resolution survey in a volume-limited sample of late
 M dwarfs.
All targets are of spectral type M7-M9.5 and within 20pc. Proper motions (PM) can
 be very large and is given when available. For some objects, it is not known, but
 the objects are relatively bright in I and should be easy to find using the finding
 charts. 

One observation is planned per object, exposure times are split into three exposures
 when the integration time is longer than 15 minutes. Observations can be carried
 out any time.
One telluric standard star is added, this OB may also be carried out at any time
 (not necessarily before or after any other OB).

In one case, 2MASS0024, the system consists of at least three components, the two
 main components (A and BC) should be distinguishable from each other. If possible,
 it would be helpful if both targets were put in the slit. For this OB, derotation
 mode is put to SKY so that one can align the components in the slit (the direction
 should be obvious from the slit viewer).

Waiver Requests

Two waivers accepted:

1. Special setting with a red central wavelength of 830nm.
2. Some OBs longer than one hour execution time.
