Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
The goal of the program is to spatially resolve the closest AUs of HAeBe
stars where planets are supposed to form. We propose to study the geometry of the
inner rim of the disk surrounding these stars by obtaining 4 calibrated points with
2 ATs configurations (E0-GO-H0 and D0-H0-G1). (2 by configuration).
In that case, we will constrain the overall geometry with such different visibility
and closure phase measurements.
We will be able to disentangle between successful models such as the puffed up inner
rim disk model or the classical accretion disk model for the circumstellar environment
of this star.
These observations are at the limit of FINITO official performances, but could maybe
be tried with it. In this case, we prefer FINITO to be used in Group Tracking mode
to ensure a stable transfer function.
April 26 2009: the OB was changed to be executed on the D0-H0-G1 triplet (instead
of E0-G0-H0) in order to increase its chances to be executed in P83.

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 ?
