P68-030: Oscillating wildly - Characterising the nature of unusually pulsating stars II

P.I.: V. Antoci

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/68-030/ and do ls -lrt

  • Start the requested OB generated script

68-030 2023-10-08 00:00 Mon thick clouds all night Failed
68-030 2023-10-14 00:22 Mon HD187258 FIGj140094 - FIGj140096 Observed
68-030 2023-10-19 00:20 Mon HD187258 FIGj190099 - FIGj190101 Target HD187258 observed with clear skies, high wind, seeing of around 1.5 arcsec. Target HD201032 could not be observed because of humidity out of limits. Observed
68-030 2023-11-04 00:35 Mon HD27230 FIGk040080 - FIGk040082 Clear skies. Seeing over 1 arcsec. Observed
68-030 2023-11-07 00:35 Mon HD27230 FIGk070116 - FIGk070118 Observed during clear skies. Dimm seeing around 1.2 arcsec, but following the fussiness of the guide star my guess is, that the seeing is worse than this. Observed
68-030 2023-11-08 00:35 Mon HD2523 FIGk080066 - FIGk080068 Target observed with clear skies, seeing of 1.0". Strong winds were present, but did not disturb the observation. Observed
68-030 2023-11-30 00:00 Mon No observations due to weather. Failed
68-030 2024-02-13 00:34 Mon HD112515 FIHb130001 - FIHb130003 Observed with thin clouds and seeing around 1 arcsec. S/N estimates from exposure meter were 155 (O9), 165 (F3), 212 (G7) and 295 (M2). Observed
68-030 2024-02-15 00:41 Mon HD86167 FIHb150074 - FIHb150076 Observed with clear skies and seeing around 0.8 arcseconds. Maybe some errors during calibration, please check quality of calibration frames. Observed
68-030 2024-02-19 00:40 Mon HD112515 FIHb190105 - FIHb190107 Target observed through thin clouds and seeing of around 1.5 arcsec. Added 400s to the exposure because of the clouds, in order to have a higher SNR. Observed
68-030 2024-02-20 00:33 Mon HD86167 FIHb200101 - FIHb200103 Observed in clear skies with seeing around 1.0" Observed
68-030 2024-03-09 01:14 Mon HD104957, HD113697 FIHc090099 - FIHc090101, FIHc090102 - FIHc090104 All targets observed with clear skies and seeing between 0.8" and 0.9" Observed
68-030 2024-03-14 00:32 Mon HD113697 FIHc140004 - FIHc140006 Clear skies, and a seeing of around 0.5 arcsec. We had some problems with the fiber guider, so we had to do a couple CTRL-C, but it worked out in the end! FIHc140004 - FIHc140006 were successful observations Observed
68-030 2024-03-17 01:13 Mon HD114839, HD104957 FIHc170100 - FIHc170105 All targets observed with clear skies within seeing constraints. Observed
68-030 2024-03-21 00:00 Mon Observation was missed due to the telescope being closed because of harsh weather conditions. Failed
68-030 2024-03-25 00:00 Mon - - The target (HD158251) was missed due to bad weather. Failed
68-030 2024-03-30 00:20 Mon HD158251 FIHc300120 - FIHc300122 Observed in thin clouds with seeing around 1.5" Observed
