General Description
This program aims to get relatively high resolution spectrum of the host
galaxies of 13 nearby SNIe found in galaxy clusters.
The purpose is to be able to measure the continuum and emmision lines of the galaxy
hosts to determine their spectral type, and quantify the level of star formation.
The galaxy hosts targeted are sufficiently bright that no offset star should be
needed for the acquisition. It is however important to well centered the galaxy
host in the slit.
We will measure only the central spectral type and SFR information, we will not
try to get both the center of the galaxy host and the former SN position. As a consequence
we propose to use the parallactic angle to conduct these observations.
The finding charts are based on DSS images (either DSS-1 for SN1996am-host or DSS-2red
for the other ones) There is 2 charts per target: A wide one about 10x10 arcmin2
(larger than the FORS field) and one with ~7x7 arcmin2.

Do all your OBs comply with the instrument-specific requirements listed
on the instrument-specific Phase 2 web page ?
If this is a pre-imaging run, did you select PRE-IMAGING for the Observing
Category for each Observing Template ?
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 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 have prepared your finding charts with tools other than FIMS,
do they comply with the specifications on the FORS1 Phase 2 web page ?
