P68-013: Improving our understanding of stellar physics with open star clusters

P.I.: Brogaard

This is a Monitoring program using FIES.

Instrument setup

  • FIES

  • High-res fiber F4

Afternoon instructions

  • Run afternoon calibrations: fies-calibs -fib 4

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/68-013/ and do ls -lrt

  • Start the requested OB generated script

68-013 2023-10-07 01:08 Mon kic8264549 FIGj070097 - FIGj070099 Clear skies but dusty conditions. Dimm seeing below 1.1 arcsec for the entirety of the observation. Observed
68-013 2023-10-11 00:00 Mon None None We realized at the end of the night that there were no OBs for this program. Failed

68-013 2023-10-21 00:00 Mon No observations due to 100% humidity. Failed
68-013 2023-10-22 00:00 Mon The target KIC8329894 was missed as the telescope was closed due to high humidity Failed
68-013 2023-10-30 00:00 Mon Could not be observed due to weather Failed
68-013 2023-10-31 01:05 Mon KIC8329894 FIGj310094 - FIGj310096 cloudy Observed

68-013 2023-11-07 01:05 Mon KIC8264592 FIGk070103 - FIGk070105 Observed with clear skies. Unfortunately no estimates of seeing, but the fussiness of the guide star suggests that the observations were not made under pristine seeing conditions. Observed
68-013 2023-11-08 01:06 Mon KIC8395903 FIGk080063 - FIGk080065 Target observed with clear skies, sub-arcsec seeing. Good finding chart. Observed

68-013 2023-11-15 00:00 Mon Target was not observed because of technical time needed in the telescope. Will be rescheduled. Failed
68-013 2023-11-24 00:00 Mon Could not be observed due to high humidity until 3:00 U.T. Failed
