General Description

Our observations aim at characterizing the complex pre-main sequence binary
 system ZCMa composed of a FU Orionis and a Herbig Ae/Be stars separated by 0.1"
 and PA=134.9deg. The system displays a bipolar outflow together with a disk like
 extended structure. Since Nov. 19th, the young binary is in a state of extreme outburst.
 

The goal is to obtain medium resolution spectra of both components in J, H and K
 using SINFONI in NGS-AO mode. SINFONI offers the unique opportunity to resolve spatially
 both components of ZCMa and to characterize them spectroscopically and independently.
 For each sequence, the FoV is rotated by 44.9deg to align both components horizontaly.
 This will allow to resolve spatially each indivual spectra on the SPIFFI detector.
 (Please adjust the rotator position in case the alignement does not seem perfect).

The proposed observations are composed of 3 OBs of ~40 min each:
. ZCMa_Jband, 
. ZCMa_Hband
. ZCMa_Kband

(Telluric: B standard star if possible)

Pre-imaging sources not listed above

---(Empty)---

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?

If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing Category for each Observing Template ?

```
N/A
```

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 included OBs for any calibrations that you need but which are not part of the Calibration Plan ?

```
N/A
```

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
```

Did you indicate the magnitude of the brightest object in the field in each SINFONI OB?

If you are using the AO: Did you indicate for every OB the magnitude of the guide star, and its distance to the target (if any)?

If you submitted OBs for standard stars, did you use the provided StandardStar templates?

```
N/A
```

If you are using a specific offset pattern or position angle: did you check carefully the definition in the manual?

Did you make really sure that none of your OBs ever saturates the detector?

If you are using the AO: did you enter the correct Strehl Ratio (on-axis, K-band) AND the seeing value in the constraint set?
