General Description

This program is intended to obtain with VIMOS IFU maps of 22 nearby dwarf
 galaxies. 20 of the galaxies have an integration time of 1 hour (3x1200 sec), for
 a total OB execution time of 1:24 (waiver 083.B-0662A.01.WAV has been approved to
 extend the length of the OBs from 60 to 90 minutes). The other 2 galaxies have integration
 times of 2000 sec, for total OB execution times of 00:56. The instrument setup is
 identical for all the OBs: we use the OS-blue filter and the low res blue grism
 with a resolution of 0.67 arcsec/fiber for a total field of view of 54 arcsec.

Waiver Requests

Waiver request 083.B-0662A.01.WAV was approved

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

There are basically no seeing constraints for these observations, though
 clear and as dark as possible sky conditions are required. Since the objects have
 fairly high declinations (in the +5 to +10 deg range), they should be as close as
 possible to zenith to have reasonable airmasses.

Time-Critical Aspects

These observations should be done as early as possible in the semester
 when they can be done on or close to zenith.
