General Description

• The observations are aimed at spectrally (and eventually spatially) resolving
   molecular emission 
  lines (CO, H2 and H20) around 6 bright pre-main-sequence stars (Herbig AeBe stars).
   
  
  We want to obtain K- and M-band spectra for 3 stars (51 Oph, HD 58647, HD87643)
   in order to study 
  both the fundamental and first overtone CO emission. For the remaining 3 stars (HD
   101412, HD 135344, 
  HD 179218) we need only K-band spectroscopy. 
  
  Correction for telluric absorption and emission is needed and calibration OBs were
   created. 
  The science OBs are named with the prefix "SCI-". The associated calibration OB
   is named with the
  prefix "CAL-" and equal suffix. A calibration OB consists of a spectrum of an early
   type star with the
  same wavelength setting of the science OB. Please execute the calibration OB as
   close as possible in airmass
  to the associated science OB.
  All targets are very bright and can be used as AO and SV guide star.

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?

• N/A
