P72-014
P73-016: Probing the Geometry of Fast Extragalactic Transients
P.I.:Tom Reynolds
This is a ToO and SoftToO program using ALFOSC
Requested setups:
- Grism #4
- Slit_1.0, Slit_1.3
- Lin-Pol-imaging
Observing instructions:
When an observation is triggered, OBs will be made and submitted to the Queue:
- In a sequencer window type cd ~/scripts/73-016/
- Look for the most recent scripts with ls -lrt and execute them
- Remember to update the OBs and send the SoftToO report

Observations performed after moon had set. The science exposure extended 6 min into twilight.
An error appeared when running the HeNe arc calibration exposure following the science exposure - the error said that a Ne lamp did not turn on. Looking at the HeNe arcs they look fine, though. However, we started getting errors about XPA communication w/ ALFOSC failing. Tried restarting obsys, but same error(s) appeared repeatedly and we were not able to execute the observations of the standard star for this ToO. |
