P70-014: Probing the Geometry of Fast Extragalactic Transients

P.I.: Thomas Killestein

This is a ToO/SoftToO program using ALFOSC.

Instrument setup

  • ALFOSC

  • Lin-Pol-imaging: Calcite + FAPOL half-wave-plate

  • Spectro-long-slit: Grism#4

Morning instructions

  • Run calibrations: alfosc-calibs ALHmddnnnn

Observing instructions

  • On the Queue page, make sure the OB-generated observing script is written to disk, or else 'compile'

  • Go to directory: cd ~/obs/scripts/70-014/ and do ls -lrt

  • Start the requested OB generated script

Proposal Date Time Type Targets Files Comments Status
70-014 2024-10-01 00:28 SoftToO AT2024wpp ALHj010247 - ALHj010267 Not the best weather, but the target was observed successfully. Data was shared with proposal ID 70-018, as they had the same target in their schedule. Standard observation is not included in the time spent as it is shared with three programs. Observed
70-014 2024-10-04 00:45 SoftToO SP1550+330, AT2024wpp ALHj040079 - ALHj040085, ALHj040140 - ALHj040160 Shared standard from other proposal. Shared science data with 70-018 Observed
70-014 2024-10-07 00:48 SoftToO Feige110, AT2024wpp, GOTO0650 ALHj070259 - ALHj070263, ALHj070283 - ALHj070295, ALHj070343 - ALHj070347 Observed in clear skies with seeing around 1.0" Observed
70-014 2024-10-10 01:40 SoftToO AT2024wpp, HD19445 ALHj100120 - ALHj100127, ALHj100129 - ALHj100133, ALHj100140 - ALHj100143 Clear skies and subarcsec seeing. Observed
70-014 2024-10-14 00:00 SoftToO No observations due to bad weather Failed
70-014 2024-10-18 00:32 SoftToO AT2024wpp, HD19445 ALHj180175 - ALHj180182 ; ALHj180203 - ALHj180206 Target observed with clear skies and seeing around 1.7 arcsec, and shared with 68-501, 70-018. Observed
70-014 2024-11-28 00:00 SoftToO Could not observe target due to high seeing Failed
70-014 2024-12-02 00:15 SoftToO 2024abvb ALHl020116 - ALHl020119 Target observed with clear skies. Observed
70-014 2024-12-07 00:22 SoftToO 2024abvb ALHl070215 - ALHl070218 Target observed with seeing around 0.6". Observed
70-014 2025-02-02 00:53 SoftToO 2024cld ALIb020164 - ALIb020167, ALIb020168 Seeing requirements not met for the first block. Seeing around 1.5''. Second block was cancelled due to high wind from target's direction. The data is available anyway. No time marked as spent. Failed
70-014 2025-02-03 01:25 SoftToO 2024cld ALIb030304 - ALIb030307, ALIb030308 - ALIb030311 Observations went well with seeing requirements met for all images. Thin clouds were present. Observed
70-014 2025-02-15 00:30 SoftToO SN2025baq, SP1446+259 ALIb150191 - ALIb150195, ALIb150196 - ALIb150200 Target observed with clear skies and seeing ~0.9''. Technical error occurred during calibrations. Please use the calibrations from the end of the night. Standard observed. Observed
70-014 2025-02-19 01:12 SoftToO SP1446+259, SN2025baq ALIb190379 - ALIb190383, ALIb190399 - ALIb190407, ALIb190412 - ALIb190419 Observed with good seeing conditions. Files ALIb190412 - ALIb190419 are for target SN2025baq which was observed in manual spectroscopy mode since parallactic angle needed to be adjusted to include host galaxy. Including time of exposure for files 412-419. The data will hopefully be shared soon/later today. Observed

 

The above information is collected from the ToO/Mon reports that have been created by the observer.

Should any of the observations have been carried out using the OB system, you will find additional information HERE
