General Description

The goal of this project is to do medium-resolution K-band spectroscopy
 of a sample of 22 Fornax Cluster ellipticals/lenticulars, with the aim to extract
 the NIR stellar kinematics from the 2.29 CO absorption band (most important goal
 is to get the central kinematics, if the S/N allows we will also extract radial
 profiles). 

In all cases, the slit is 1" and oriented along the galaxy major axis. For most
 galaxies, we use AutoNodOnSlit (nooding over 90"), for the five most extended sources
 (NGC1316, NGC1380, NGC1399, NGC1404 and NGC1427) we use a GenericOffset template
 and measure the sky by itself (10' away along the slit).

I hope everything is clear, if not, please do not hesitate to contact me: maarten.baes@ugent.be,

Special Calibration Information

Calibrations: standard calibrations (standards, tellurics, arcs, flatfields).
 Radial velocity templates will be obtained from previous observations using the
 same setup. Please do observe the telluric standards with the same nodding (90")
 as the science targets.
