General Description

• UVES spectroscopic observations of nuclear star clusters in six dwarf
   galaies.
  
  The observations should be performed with 1.2" slit width with the red arm at central
   wavelength 580 nm with 2x2 CCD binning. The derotation mode is "SKY" with ADC on
   for ESO 059-01, ESO 223-09, IC 1959, NGC 1311 and "ELEV" for KK 197 and NGC 5237.
   The target's coordinates are based on the HST/ACS images WCS, whose typical astrometric
   error is 0.3", thus precise enough to directly position even the faintest target
   (V_app = 20.2) in NGC 1311. The images used to create the finding charts are from
   the same HST/ACS V-band (F606W) images. The resoluoin is 0.05 arcsec / pixel. The
   targets are marked with a rectangle with dimensions of 10 x 1.2 arcsec for the targets
   in "SKY" and with circle in "ELEV" derotation modes, respectively.
  
  We have split in to 1 , 2 , 4 and 5 OBs of 50.083 min integration time each for
   the star clusters depending on cluster apparent V-band magnitude. The total execution
   time per OB is 1 hour, thus 18 OBs sums up to 18 hours for the entire Run C. The
   expected signal-to-noise is in the range S/N > 10 - 20 per resolution element
   in the wavelength range around 5200A (Mg triplet).
