General Description

• High redshift radio galaxies (HzRG) are likely progenitors of brightest
   clusters galaxies and found more prodominantly
  in overdense environments. To select cluster members around those HzRG, near-IR
   color criteria based on the position of
  the 4000A break have been developped. We started in Period 81 to observe some HzRG
   fields in YHK/JHK.
  
  This present program is divided in two parts:
  
  - Completing the observations of fields that were not fully observed (missing one
   or two of the YHK bands) in Period 81.
  
  - Observing two new fields at lower-z in Y, H and Ks.
  
  The priority is therefore:
  
  1- Observing MRC1324-262 in Ks in priority for which we have reduced H and J data.
  
  2- Observing MRC0156-252 in Ks and H to complete the Y band we already have.
  
  3- Observing the two new fields : MRC0324-228 and MRC0350-279

Special Execution Requirements

• Please :
  
  - Prefer to finish a target in the three bands than to change target. An observation
   in only a band is not sufficient
  to make the color selections we have planned.
  
  - Band Ks is the priority. Please start by this band if the target is visible.
  
  - Three OBs of 1hour are required in Y to get the full required depth for our science
   goal. Please try to observe the full set
  of 3 OBs before starting another band or target. Two targets have to be observed
   in Y. For each target, one of the
  OBs in Y-band required a photometric night for calibration. An additionnal OB has
   been included for a standard star observation (FS10).
  Please, observe the OBs of standards just before/after the OBs named 'MRC 0324-228
   Y-0 PHT' and 'MRC 0350-279 Y-0 PHT'.
  
  - Note that positional accouracies of ~5 arcsec is good enough for our goals
