General Description

• This observing program will study the chemical abundance sum C+N+O in
   the globular clusters NGC 1851 and NGC 6752. For NGC 1851, we seek to measure C
   from 430nm CH molecular lines, O from 630nm [OI] atomic line and N from 800nm CN
   molecular lines. For NGC 6752, we seek to measure C from 430nm CH and N from 800nm
   CN. We are aiming for S/N=100 per pixel or greater at 430nm, 630nm and 800nm for
   the IFU observations. The UVES spectra are a secondary program that will enable
   us to measure chemical abundances for a suite of elements in these clusters. 
  
  The specific observations are
  
  NGC 6752 (7 OBS): (IFU-HR4-429.7 and UVES-520) X 5 and (IFU-HR19b-805.3b and UVES-520)
   X 2
  NGC 1851 Configuration A (7 OBS): (IFU-HR4-429.7 and UVES-580) X5 and (IFU-HR13-627.3
   and UVES-580) X 1 and (IFU-HR19b-805.3b and UVES-580) X 1
  NGC 1851 Configuration B (7 OBS): (IFU-HR4-429.7 and UVES-580) X5 and (IFU-HR13-627.3
   and UVES-580) X 1 and (IFU-HR19b-805.3b and UVES-580) X 1
  HD35640 (2 OBs): (Telluric standard) IFU-HR13-627.3 and IFU-HR19b-805.3b

Waiver Requests

• I submitted a waiver request on 23 July for
  
  (a) attached flat fields for all IFU HR19B observations (approved)
  (b) for one bright telluric standard, observe IFU HR13 and IFU HR19B in the same
   OB (approved)
  (c) for item (b) above, my request "implied" that I sought attached flat fields
   after both HR13 and HR19B settings (not approved). Instead, the ESO staff suggested
   the following sequence
  	i) observe HR13
  	ii) observe HR19b
  	iii) attached FF for HR19b only
  
  On putting together this P2PP, I have allowed sufficient time to observe the telluric
   standard in two OBs (one OB for HR 13 and another OB for HR19B). Therefore, the
   waiver requests for items (b) and (c) above are no longer required. (The helpful
   assistance from the ESO staff was greatly appreciated!)

Special Execution Requirements

Special Calibration Information

• My waiver request was to include attached FF for all OBs that involve
   the IFU HR19B setting (~800nm). After discussions with Dr Claudio Melo, I decided
   to include these attached FF to ensure that fringing will be adequately removed.
