General Description

• The aim of the project is search for a faint M-star companion of the K0V
   E2-0165 that might be there. 
  In order to detect the M-star, we plan to model the spectrum of E2-0165 with that
   of a 
  K0V template star and an M-star template. In a previous run we have already obtained
   a spectrum of 
  an M-star with the same setting but we still need the K0V template. Additionally
   to the spectrum of
  E2-0165, we thus request to take a spectrum of a K0V template star (HD292610). As
   usual, we also
  request a spectrum of a telluric calibrator (CAL). Ideally, the three spectra are
   taken consecutively,
  without moving the grating.
  
  Please note that all three stars are relatively bright, and since we take HR-spectra
   in the K-band the
  sky-brightness is not critical. Thus, it is possible to take the observations even
   during twilight
  (sun below -12 degrees).

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• Observations of such a bright can be carried under almost any conditions,
   as long, as the AO-loop can be closed.

Time-Critical Aspects

• Not time critical

Special Execution Requirements

Special Calibration Information

• Day-time flat-fields should be taken with the same slit-width (0.3 arcsec)
   as the science observations.

Do the README file and the instrument comments of the telluric stars
 OBs include the required S/N/pixel of the spectrum of the telluric star, its spectral
 type and allowed spectral range?

• YES

Do any OBs include wavelength or flatfield calibrations?

• YES

If you are observing Moving Targets, have you attached suitable ephemeris
 files to your OBs?

• N/A

If the slit viewer guide star is different from the target, are the RA
 and DEC offsets accurate to within 0.05 arcsec and do they take into account the
 relative proper motion between the two objects?

• N/A

If you have preferences which OBs should be executed first for objects
 at similar RA, did you make use of the User Priority field in the OBs?

• YES
