README File Submission Date:23/09/2004 Programme Description ===================== General Overview ---------------- Proposed SINFONI observation of Seyfert 1.8 Mrk 609 with AO: Mrk 609: (SDSS J032525.3-060837.9) J=16mag/arcsec^2; H=15mag/arcsec^2; K=14mag/arcsec^2 coordinates (J2000): RA:03h25m25.3s DEC:-06d08'37.9"; errors=+/-100mas mag_blue = 10.65 mag_red = 10.26 Guide star: (SDSS J032525.4-060804.2) coordinates (J2000): RA: 03h25m25.4s DEC:-06d08'04.2"; errors=+/-100mas distance to science target: 34" mag_K = 13 mag_blue = 16.23 mag_red = 14.16 Observation scheme: - 100mas/pixel scale with AO - J, H+K AO observation guiding (1) either on the galaxy nucleus (preferred) (OBs Mrk609-6..13) or (2) on a nearby (30arcsec) guide star (OBs Mrk609-0..5) (see target list above). - (or J,H+k in 250mas/pix without AO; see below ; OBs Mrk609-14..19) Approved Waiver Request Summary ------------------------------- Critical Observing Condition Constraints ---------------------------------------- Time Critical Aspects --------------------- The discuessed OBs are designed to be executed in the Oktober SV run. Special Calibration Information ------------------------------- We rely on the standard telluric/flux calibration plan. Ideally carried out after each OB, i.e. 3 exposures in H+K and 3 in J. We would prefer to only use A0 or G2V spectral type telluric stars, because the former displays a smooth blackbody like spectrum, wheras the latter (sun like) is the best known stellar spectrum. An important part of this project is to observe CO-beandhead-template stars in addition to the galaxy and the telluric standards (OBs: CAL_HD.._CO-template-0). One OB per target is enough. Due to their brightness they should NOT be observed within one night together with faint science targets. Further as suggested by F.Eisenhauer, the target acquisition should be performed blindly. ToO Information --------------- Pre-Imaging Requirements ------------------------ OB Information ============== List of Science OBs ------------------- Total Number of Submitted Science OBs: 20 Only one of the following three observing sequences should be executed. The highest priority (1) has the AO assisted observation guiding on the galaxy nucleus. If AO on the galaxy is not feasible, observation should be carried out guiding on the nearby natural guide star (2). In case of AO failing, seeing-limited observations (3) should be carried out.
