Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

General Description

• We propose to record two simultaneous spectra of the components of the
   double system (90) Antiope. We calculated the best time to observe them (when the
   two components will have a separation >0.087" and observable at a low airmass)
   over the months of February and March. Because  the maximum separation of the two
   components is less than 0.1" they will NOT be resolved as a guide star for the AO
   reference.
  
  SINFONI J and H+K spectral modes will be used. Calibration star spectra will be
   recorded before and after each spectral mode to characterize the slope of the asteroid
   spectrum.
  
  These observations are also TIME CRITICAL. In our proposal (Table 1) we listed the
   best time to observe the system (maximum separation between the two components).
   Unfortunately, there are not enough form lines in the time interval section of the
   OBs to list all of them.
  Here a complete list.
  Feb 01 05:15-08:00
  Feb 09 05:00-07:45
  Feb 11 04:45-07:30
  Feb 12 04:45-07:30
  Feb 20 04:00-06:45
  Feb 21 04:00-06:45
  Feb 22 04:00-06:45
  Mar 03 03:45-06:30
  Mar 04 03:45-06:30
  Mar 05 03:45-06:30

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• we request these observations to be taken in CLR sky and a seeing better
   than 1.0"

Time-Critical Aspects

• There are two run of observations for this program.
  OBs labeled FIRST should be observed on the first run. OBs labeled SECOND should
   be observed on the second run (ideally the night after or later). My attempt to
   place them on separated folders to simplify the task of the observer failed.
  
  These observations are also TIME CRITICAL. In our proposal (Table 1) we listed the
   best time to observe the system (maximum separation between the two components).
   Unfortunately, there are not enough form lines in the time interval section of the
   OBs to list all of them. Mar 5 from 03:45 to 06:30 is missing (very good configuration).
   Various others dates are available in February as well.
  Feb 1 05:15-08:00
  Feb 9 05:00-07:45
  Feb 11 04:45-07:30
  Feb 12 04:45-07:30
  
  We do prefer the nights listed in the OBs (MOV_)  time interval, however a test
   could be performed on these February nights as well. Please advice.
