Testing Wolf-Rayet enrichment in IC 10 with ALFOSC slit-stepping

P74-003 Cameron

Summary:

This program will use stepped NOT/ALFOSC longslit spectroscopy to map N/O abundances ratios across IC 10, the local group galaxy with the highest density of WR stars, to search for the presence of local N/O-enhancements around WR stars in high- and low-density environments.


Calibrations

Internal flats, arcs and bias frames from alfosc-calibs

Instrument setup

  • ALFOSC
  • Slit_1.0 Horizontal
  • Grism_#4

Observations

Long slit spectoscopy stepped across the field. For each pointing there will be a separate script, see table below.
