General Description

Long slit spectroscopy to obtain redshifts and diagnostic spectra for
 an unusual class of galaxy that appear to be ellipticals with ultraluminous far-IR
 emission.

Spectra need to have good enough S/N not only for z-measurement but also for stellar
 population model fitting, so S/N >10 for most of the spectrum is required.

Standard calibration observations will be enough.

The optical (R-band) finders in most cases show the position of the source but are
 not deep enough to show the source itself.

The 3.6 micron images show the target sources clearly, lying at the centre of the
 20 arcsecond diameter circles at the centre of the finding charts.

The 60s R-band optical acquisition images should be deep enough to show the optical
 source matching the 3.6 micron source even for our faintest target (ETC estimates
 9 sigma per pixel detection for our faintest target).

The slit should be centred on the source that matches the source at the centre of
 the circle in the 3.6 micron images.
