General Description

• Hello, 
  
  This are spectra to take randomly over the period that is given, when there is time.
   There is room to make about two per night.
  If they could done as far apart as possible from each other at airmas < 1.5 it
   would great.
  
  Seeing constraint is not very important. It is at 1.5 at the moment, but can go
   up to 2. if the points need to taken. 
  
  THe star is called Wasp17, also named SW1559-2803, it is an "fast" rotating F star
   with mag V = 11.6
  
  Finding charts have been attached but might not be necessary as the star is quite
   alone in its field
  
  
  Two spectra need to be obtained on the night of the 4th to the 5th, and two more
   the night of the 6th to 7th. This are need to constrain the orbit around the Rossiter-McLaughlin
   effect which is a key component of this proposal albeit being part of a different
   obsering run.
  Because the Ritz might be closed on these two dates, can you tell me if it is possible.
   The mail I received from ESO does not seem to acknowledge any time during which
   Harps will not be able to observe.
  
  OBs consists of exposures of 1800s with a slow read-out mode in order to get the
   best S/N possible out.
  
  Thanks for observing
  Amaury

Waiver Requests

• No Waiver Request was submitted

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• none really. Take two points a night in average in the best possible conditions.
  And for the Two OBs with two spectra the night before and the night after the transit,
   if seeing is around 2., still take the data.

Time-Critical Aspects

• none, only taking the data at an average of two spectra per night. Individual
   spectra need to be separated by more than 3h when possible. If there are quite a
   few cloudy nights, then I suppose you would need to take three spectra on the following
   clear nights.
