Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The goal of this proposal is to fill the (U,V) gap at low spatial frequency
of the precedent Medium resolution UT observations. These UT observations showed
that the object was over-resolved and much bigger than expected. In order to be
able to determine te shape and, eventually to detect an elongation due to the disk
detected with MIDI, we need an (UV) widespread set of observing points at lower
spatial frequencies.
Therefore, the observed points should be as far in hour angle as possible.

Is this a Pre-imaging run ?
Pre-imaging Requirements
Source(s) of Pre-imaging
Pre-imaging sources not listed above
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 indicate for each science star OB the corresponding calibrator
star OB (and vice versa) in the 'Instrument Comments' field ?
Did you check that your chosen calibrator is bright enough for the instrument
mode used ?
If you use calibrator stars which are not in the CalVin database, did
you specify their characteristics in the README file and in the OBs ?
Do you use the same DIT for pairs of science target and associated calibrator?
Are the magnitudes of science target and calibrator within +/- 1 mag
?
Did you verify that your coordinates are as accurate as possible (2Mass
coordinates recommended) and that they include proper motions if available ?
Did you specify the LST range of the calibrators such that they cover
the range from 30 min before the start of the LST range of the science target to
30 min after the end of the LST range of the science target ?
