General Description

This program aims to measure the thermal emission of several transiting
 hot Jupiters with the instrument FORS. For each target, a continuous observation
 of a few hours encompassing the planetary occultation is performed.

Waiver Requests

A waiver request was submitted and accepted (ID: 084.C-0532B.02.WAV),
 as the OBs have to last more than 1h for each target.

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

As long as the moon is at least 30deg away from the target and that the
 sky is clear, the conditions are meeted to make this program successfull.

Time-Critical Aspects

For each target, the observations have to be performed during an occultation
 window. The ephemeris file gives for each target these windows and a ranking, A
 standing for excellent, B for less favorable conditions (higher airmass, not much
 time before or after the eclipse). An A eclipse if of course desirable for each
 target, but if only a B eclipse could be observed for scheduling constraints, the
 scientific goals of the program should still be reached.

Special Execution Requirements

There is no special requirement

Special Calibration Information

There is no special calibration needed. Still, a maximum number of flatfiels
 is more than welcome.
