General Description

ISAAC M-band medium resolution and L band low resolution observations
 of ULIRGs.
With M-band MR observations we want to carefully remove telluric lines to detect
 the ro-vibrational lines of R- and P- branches of the gaseus CO centered at 4.66
 mic. Two central wavelenghts (4.65 and 4.85) are required to cover the entire CO
 absorption band in MR spectra.
For sources not yet observed with ISAAC at ~3.5 mic, L-band LR observations will
 provide high quality spectra to carefully determine the continuum shape and the
 3.3 mic PAH equivalent width, both needed to disentangle the AGN/starburst relative
 contribution to the observed emission, and thus estimate the intrinsic optical depth
 of the CO absorption band.
To obtain the required S/N, it is important to cover the entire integration time
 for a single source. Therefore we request to complete all the OBs for a source before
 starting with a different one, following the priority in the OBs
