Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)
General Description
This is a short program to study He abundance spread in Globular Cllusters
by
observing the He 10830 line. The line is formed in the chromosphere, but our
models of these stars show that it is much more sensitive to abundance variations
than to variations in chromospheric activity. The A part of the proposal
is for the He lines, the B part (this one) to record the chromospheric Halfa and
Ca II cores. The UVES observations will be used to confirm that the stars have similar
chromospheric actiity and to develop a chromospheric model to be used for the
interpretation of the spectra.
The stars are 4 : two brighter and two fainter. Of each couple , one is O reach,
the other
O poor. If the difference in Oxygen is due to a rpimordial pollution or CNO proceesed
gas, then the two stars shoul dshow as well a huge difference in He abundance.
FINDING CHARTS: I AM SORRY THERE IS A 1 ARCSECOND offet between objects and the
arrows (box center).
The star is always the brightest object, NE of the arrow. I hope is OK.

Special Execution Requirements
Out of the 4 stars 2 are fainter (32685, 42886), two brighter (48889,
46422)
In case all OBs could not be executed, it would be important that the
observations of at least one PAIR was finished. If possible,
please observe faint - faint
or bright-bright
NOT faint - bright or bright - faint
Thanks
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 specified the S/N ratio at given wavelength in the User Comments
field of each OB?
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 ?
If you need secondary guiding, are there suitable objects within 30 arcsec
from your target ?
