Principal Investigator Email Address
Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a simple broad-band imaging program on a single field, to be observed
in J, H, and Ks. There is also CH4 imaging to be executed with HAWK-I under a separate
run (C), as well as complementary FORS2 observations to be executed under run (A).
Due to the required exposure time, the observations in J and H have been split into
two identical OBs.
There is no preference among the filters, but preference should be given to have
the field observed in all filters: please do not start the second OB in a given
filter before having observed the field in all three.
Execution of this run should have priority over run (C), which has the same constraints,
the same target field, and the same duration. Please do not start run (C) until
run (B) has been completed.
Waiver Requests
A waiver request was submitted due to the presence of a few stars in the
field somewhat brighter than the HAWK-I limits for saturation. The brightest star
in the field has J=8.91, H=8.38, Ks=8.21 according to 2MASS. The waiver was accepted
on 1 February.

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 ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar
templates ?
If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle, did you
check carefully the definition in the manual ?
If you are doing spectroscopy, did you draw the slit on the Finding Charts
?
Did you enter the magnitude of the brightest star in the field-of-view
in the 'Instrument Comments' field of each OB ?
If you use the MoveToPixel acquisition, have you given clear instructions
on the FC and in the OB comment section as to how the field should be centered ?
