• 3 hr

General Description

• Description: FastJitter observations of TNO stellar occultations.
  
  Each observation is activated by a ToO trigger because, at OB submission time, we
   do not know the occultation time with
  sufficient accuracy. NB: it is a time critical program and, once activated, the
   OB should start at the UT time specified in the  
  trigger
  
  The observation are performed either in J or Ks filter (depending target SED), and
   either thru a
  squared or a rectangular window. The rectangular window will allow to observe a
   reference star, if any, for relative
  photometry.
  
  The trigger will specify the required filter/OB, DIT, NDIT, Position Angle &
   windowing parameters
  
  Finding charts will clearly mark the target and the reference star. we will draw
   the windowed detector FoV to 
  facilitate acquisition. Please make sure that both target & reference star are
   in FoV

Waiver Requests

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• None

Time-Critical Aspects

• The program is a ToO AND observe time critical event. The observations
  (i.e. the science integration) MUST start at the UT time specified in the ToO trigger.

Special Execution Requirements

• ---(Empty)---

Special Calibration Information

• We submit the following calibration OBs:
  - dark sequence, to be observed with the same windowing pameters as the science
   data
  - dome flat J and Ks OBs, to be observed with the same windowing parameters as the
   science data;
