General Description

• This observing programme consists of K band spectroscopy of M dwarf stars.
   
  
  We use only one standard wavelength setting.
  
  In all OBs target star=AO guide star=SV guide star.
  
  Note that many of our targets have large proper motions.
  
  Each target OB requires observation of telluric standard star. Corresponding standard
   star OBs (early-type stars) are 
  denoted with the prefix "CAL_". We ask telluric star OB to be executed immediately
   before or after corresponding science OB. 
  The spectra of telluric standard stars (spectral types B1V-B3V) should have S/N~200
   per pixel.
  
  There are 3 identical pairs of OBs for GJ 388 (target star OBs GJ_388_1, GJ_388_2,
   GJ_388_3 and corresponding telluric star OBs
  CAL_GJ_388_1, CAL_GJ_388_2, CAL_GJ_388_3). We ask these three pairs of OBs to be
   executed on different nights.
  
  Finding charts have been prepared for GJ 570 B, GJ 667 C, GJ 896 A, GJ 166 C, GJ
   1286, GJ 1111.
  All other targets are by far the brightest objects in the CRIRES FOV and there should
   be no ambiguity in their acquisition.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Since performance of AO is degraded at high airmass, we ask all OBs to
   be executed when the target star is at airmass <=1.5.

Time-Critical Aspects

• None

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?

• YES
