Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a programme to acquire GIRAFFE HR spectra of disk red clump
stars at different distances (magnitudes) along the line of sight of
two bulge fields. GIRAFFE fibres are thus allocated to stars with
V=12-16. The S/N quoted in the OB comments refers to the faintest ones.
Simultaneous UVES fibres are allocated to peculiar lithium rich stars
already observed at lower resolution in these fields.
Both fields are rather reddened, thus R magnitudes are >1 mag brighter
than V mag (but not available to us, hence we quote V mag).

Time-Critical Aspects
Special Execution Requirements
No special execution requirements were mentioned in the PhaseI.
In the meantime, however, binarity has been suggested as possible
origin for the Li-rich stars observed with UVES. Having the OBs
of the same field observed in different days would help constraining
variations in radial velocity, hence binarities.
This is not a strong requirement.
It would be helpful if it does not compromise the programme completion.
Special Calibration Information
ToO Information
ToO Activators List
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 ?
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?
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 ?
Did you specify in your OBs the hour angle range for which your Target
Setup files are valid ?
Did you specify in your OBs the magnitudes of FACBs and Guide Star for
all your fields ?
Are the FACBs and Guide Star in the brightness ranges specified in the
FLAMES manual ?
Did you enter the expected signal to noise in your OBs ?
