P70-016: Unknown mass loss at the final evolutionary stage of massive stars

PI: Takashi Nagao



ALFOSC SoftToO program

The OB generator will be used to request all observations.
The OBs will automatically appear in the OB queue and OB generated scripts will be automatically placed in the directory ~/scripts/70-016/.

For the observer:

Go to the directory
  cd ~/scripts/70-016
List the available scripts
  ls -lrt
and execute the OB generated scripts requested.
If you cannot find the corresponding observing script, please (re-)compile it from the Queue interface.

In the case of NOTCam, make sure that differential skyflats are obtained for the camera and filter setup that is requested.

Remember to fill the SoftToO tracking log of this program.

Proposal Date Time Type Targets Files Comments Status
70-016 2024-10-01 02:42 SoftToO SN2024kgi, SN2024ueo, SN2024qiw,
SN2024gvz
ALHj010202 - ALHj010218, ALHj010239 - ALHj010246, ALHj010315 - ALHj010331, ALHj010340 - ALHj010357 The night was windy and had slightly poor seeing. However, all the observations in this proposal were successful. The spectroscopic standard Feige110 was not observed because a similar standard for grism 4 (HD19445) was observed. The files for the standard can be found in the calibration folder. Observed
70-016 2024-10-04 00:27 SoftToO SP1550+330, SN2024vgd ALHj040079 - ALHj040091 Night was very tight with other higher-priority ToOs and monitoring targets. Unfortunately, there was only time to observe one target. Observed

ALHj050060 - ALHj050070, ALHj050081 - ALHj050090, ALHj050126 - ALHj050137 Observed in clear skies with seeing below 1.0" Observed

70-016 2024-10-11 01:37 SoftToO Feige110, SN2024xav, SN2024xdq,
SN2024qiw
ALHj110108 - ALHj110129, ALHj110133 - ALHj110149 Clear skies and sub-arcsec seeing. Observed
70-016 2024-10-12 00:21 SoftToO SN2024xav ALHj120016 - ALHj120020 Clear skies and seeing around 1.6''. There will be some vignetting effects towards the end of the exposure, as the lower hatch had to be closed due to high winds. Observed
70-016 2024-10-19 00:24 SoftToO SN2024xeb ALHj190133 - ALHj190137 Target observed through thin clouds and seeing of around 2 arcseconds. Observed
70-016 2024-10-26 00:00 SoftToO Bad weather prevented the observations Failed
70-016 2024-10-27 00:00 SoftToO No observations could be taken due to bad weather. Failed
70-016 2024-10-30 03:44 SoftToO SN2024kgi, SN2024ueo, SN2024xdq,
SN2024xav, SN2024qiw, SN2024gvz
ALHj300073 - ALHj300089, ALHj300119 - ALHj300123, ALHj300145 - ALHj300199 All the data was obtained during sub-arcsecond seeing and also in good conditions with other metrics. There were minor faults related to some OBs, but all of them were fixed in the end. See more detailed comments inside the OB blocks. The standard star provided by this program was not observed, but the files ALHj300071 and ALHj300072 contain the necessary calibration which were obtained via different program but identical setup.

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