Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This observing program is devoted to the study of the velocity dspersion
profile of the giant stellar system omega Centauri (NGC5139).
It consists in a set of 32 1200s-long FLAMES pointings in a region between 0.25
and 1.2 deg from the cluster center.
The expected S/N ratio is >20 for all the targets.
There are no special requirements for lunar phase and seeing conditions.
Magnitudes in the .ins files are in the K band (from 2MASS), the R magnitudes of
the VLT guide star and of the FACB stars have been specified in the Instrument comment
section for each OB.

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 specify in your OBs the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ?
Did you specify in your OBs the magnitudes of FACBs and Guide Star for
all your fields ?
Are the FACBs and Guide Star in the brightness ranges specified in the
FLAMES manual ?
Did you enter the expected signal to noise in your OBs ?
