Principal Investigator Email Address

• A.J.Levan@warwick.ac.uk

Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 2

General Description

• This run is for hard ToO observations of short GRBs. These will be triggered
   for bursts which are young (<~3days) but which do not fall within the remit of
   the RRM runs. Depending on the 
  
  As with the other runs the observations for which there are OBs represent a superset
   of those which will actually be performed, the precise observations may include
   both spectroscopy and imaging on the afterglow of the burst or its host galaxy.

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• No critical observing conditions are specified at this time. Should these
   be necessary (i.e. should the object be very faint, requiring good seeing etc) then
   these will be requested at the time of triggering the ToO

Time-Critical Aspects

• This is a hard ToO and should normally be executed on the night which
   it is requested. If the ToO is trigger on the same night as the burst then ideally
   the observations should begin immediately upon the receipt of the ToO request, or
   a soon as is practiable thereafter. Further details of the reqested observations
   and response times will of course be sent with the relevant request.

ToO Information

• This is a hard ToO run for short GRBs as described above. It may request
   both imaging and  spectroscopic observations of any burst with a duration <2s
   or which is declared a short burst candiadate by the Swift, GLAST (or other gamma-ray
   detecting mission) teams.
