General Description

For this observing period we propose the observation of the nucleus of
 the galaxy NGC4303 in three bands: J, H, K. The SINFONI configuration selected is
 the non-AO FoV 8"x8" (slices size 0".25), spectral resolution R=2000 (J-band), R=3000
 (H-band), R=4000 (K-band).

We have divided the proposal in 11 OBs: 6 for NGC4303 (2 per band) and 5 for the
 standard stars (3 in H-band, 2 in K-band).

NOTE: In order to secure the needed S/N with SINFONI, each galaxy band has to be
 observed for the 2 requested OBs of 1 hour each. The observations will not be completed
 for a given band until the 2 corresponding OBs have been done succesfully. Note
 however that the OBs have not to be back-to-back provided they are executed with
 similar observing conditions (seeing, zenital distance, transparency). For example,
 if the first OB executed is the pointing of NGC4303 in the H-band, we will need
 to have the other NGC4303 H-band OB of NGC4303 completed.

Finally, for all OBs, we expect that both sides of the SINFONI's FoV are aligned
 with the North-East axes.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

We require a seeing less or equal than 0".8 (IR) and sky transparency
 clear.

Time-Critical Aspects

Special Execution Requirements

Two standard stars will be observed in K-band (HD113678, HD116535), and
 three in H-band (HD113678, HD116535, HD103295).


The K-band star OB must be observed right before, after or between the NGC4303 K-band
 OBs. For example:
Star1 
NGC4303
NGC4303
Star2

The H-band star OB must be observed right before, after or between the NGC4303 H-band
 OBs. For example:
Star1 
NGC4303
Star2
NGC4303
Star3
