Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 5:37

General Description

• - JHKs imaging of comet 67P/CG, target of the Rosetta Mission.
  - This program should be execute as close as possible with the other program 82.C-0740(A),
   for VRI imaging & spectroscopy with FORS2.
  - This program consists of three sets of OBs, (MOV_67P_JHKs_Oct_1  and MOV_67P_KsHJ_Oct_1
   for the first set, same with  _2 the second set, and _3 for the third) THAT SHOULD
   NOT BE EXECUTED ON THE SAME NIGHT, but likely on  three succesive nights, to check
   comet variability.
  - The three ISAAc programs 082.C-0740(B), (D), and (F) should be executed at about
   on month of time distance. Best period for each one is the 2nd half of the month,
   if possible.
  
  _ Please insert appropriate coordinates & proprer motion of the Comet, as given
   in the ephemeris file. The comet coordinates given in the OB are approximate one,
   to be used only for scheduling!
  
  - Since comets are often unpredictable, PLEASE check that photometric center is
   not saturated.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• This program should be executed in parallel (or ss close as possible)
   with program 082.C-0740(A) at FORS2.
  
  In principle the observations should be:
  
  - First night (thin): execute MOV_67P_JHKs_Oct_1, MOV_67P_KsHJ_Oct_1
  
  - Second night (thin, close to the first one as much a possible): execute MOV_67P_JHKs_Oct_2,
   MOV_67P_KsHJ_Oct_2
  
  - Third night (thin, close to the second one as much as possible): execute MOV_67P_JHKs_Oct_3,
   MOV_67P_KsHJ_Oct_3

Time-Critical Aspects

• This program should be executed in parallel (or ss close as possible)
   with program 381.C-0123(A) at FORS2.
  
  The 3 set of OBs (_1, _2 and _3) should be executed possibly during three consecutive
   nights. NOT on the same night. See Critical Observing Condition Constrains.
  
  - The three ISAAc programs 082.C-0740(B), (D), and (F) should be executed at about
   on month of time distance. Best period for each one is the 2nd half of the month,
   if possible.
