Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
8.45
General Description
Our program aims to measure the radial velocities of each component of a stellar binary, whose period we do not know but strongly suspect to be short period; on the order of a few hours to days, no more.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints
There are no criticla observing conditions
Time-Critical Aspects
We need the observations to be randomly spaced: the first blocks *night1a,b can be consecutive, but please give some space (30 min - 120 min) before block *night1c. We strongly prefer that blocks *night2a,b be taken the night immediately following the execution of blocks *night1a,b,c. However, we understand that weather often does not cooperate and the conditions we are asking for cannot be guaranteed on 2 consecutive nights. Therefore, it is acceptable to execute *night2a,b on a subsequent night to *night1a,b,c, if not the next night. Please ensure blocks *night1a,b,c are executed on a single night. Please ensure blocks *night2,a,b are executed in a single night. Please execute only one of *other1,...7 per night, following the *night1 and *night2 blocks. Please space these observations randomly; kindly do not space the *night2a,b blocks at the same interval as any of the *night1a,b,c blocks. The same applies to the *other1,...7 blocks; kindly do not perform them at the same time each night. Thank you kindly.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
Do all your finding charts comply with both the general and instrument-specific Phase 2 Web Pages ?
If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you specify the magnitude and spectral type of all standard stars in the OBs ?
N/A
Have you specified the S/N ratio at given wavelength in the User Comments field of each OB?
Have you included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?
If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris files to your OBs?
N/A
If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs ?
If this is a run that requires coordinated observations with other facilities, did you give proper instructions in the Time-Critical Aspects Section ?
N/A
If you need secondary guiding, are there suitable objects within 30 arcsec from your target ?
