General Description

• We want to obtain spatially resolved spectra of the components of a tight
   brown dwarf binary (HD130948Bab; separation 0.15arcsec, K=11.3mag). 
  A bright star (HD130948A; V=6mag) located at 2.6arcsec of the science target should
   be used for the wavefront sensing and guiding.
  The telluric standard CAL_HIP73087 should be observed after the science target.
  The radial velocity template star (2MASS1439+1929) must be observed just before
   or after the target+telluric OBs.
  
  We propose to use the 25/1/i standard setting (Lambda ref=2293.2nm) and the 0.3arcsec
   slit (R=60000).
  The slit should be aligned along the axis of the binary. The PA of the binary was
   recently measured at 149.5 deg (North to East)
  
  As it must be done just before or after the science target + telluric OBs, no additional
   telluric standard is required for 2MASS1439+1929.
  
  The astronomer should feel free to update the value of the PA to optimize the alignment
   of the slit along the axis of the binary !!! 
  BUT all three objects (science target + radial velocity standard 2MASS1439+1929
   + Telluric Standard) should be observed at the same PA !!!

Special Execution Requirements

• The radial velocity template star (2MASSWJ1439284+192915) must be observed
   just before or after the science target + telluric OBs
  As it must be done just before or after the science target, no additional telluric
   standard is required for 2MASS1439+1929.

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?

• N/A

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?

• YES

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?
