Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 1.3h

General Description

• The aim of this program is to obtain optical spectra
  of the T Tauri star V1647 Ori,
  as close as possible in time with CRIRES NIR spectra (run A).  
  
  Our goal is to study the behavior of the
  Halpha, Fe II and Ca II lines,
  simultaneously with the NIR emission features of H2 and CO. 
  
  OB's for three epochs are included because CRIRES data
  will be taken in  three epochs.
  
  
  The observations are standard FORS2 long-slit observations.
  We employ the grism 1200R and 1028z with a 1" slit.
  
  The object is V1647 Ori, a young variable star that suffered an outburst in august,
   
  it expected to be its brightening phase. 
  Last reported R band mag was 17.8.
  
  Exposure times are computed for obtainnig at least a S/N 20 for 
  a R=18 star.
  
  We note, that north of the target a bright nebula is present (see attached figure)
  
  The slit is oriented north-south.

Waiver Requests

• A waiver was accepted for executing additional observations with the grism
   1028z
  and to use multiple instrument configurations (grism 1200R and 1028z in the same
   OB)

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• No critical observing conditions

Time-Critical Aspects

• Monitoring observations to be executed coordinated with CRIRES observations
   (run A).
  FORS2 observations should be executed simultaneously,
  prefentially between a few days of the CRIRES observations.
  
  
  The program is a monitoring program. 
  We requested data in three epochs spaced 1.5+-0.5 months:
  The first epoch to be executed as soon as possible (October, OB V1647_Ori_FORS2_epoch1)
  The second epoch to be executed in November-December (OB V1647_Ori_FORS2_epoch2)
  The third  epoch to be executed in January-February (OB V1647_Ori_FORS2_epoch3)

Special Execution Requirements

• Monitoring observations to be executed coordinated with CRIRES observations.
  FORS2 observations should be executed prefentially between a few days of the
  CRIRES observations.
