P70-504: A NOTCam and JWST partnership: Near-infrared detection and study of tidal disruption events

PI: Thomas Reynolds & Erik Kool

NOTCam SoftToO

SoftToO triggers will be requested with NOTCam in Nordic Service or technical time.

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/70-504/.

For the observer:

Go to the directory
cd ~/scripts/70-504
List the available scripts
ls -lrt
and execute the OB generated scripts requested.

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.

70-504	2025-04-14	03:54	SoftToO	2025eve, 2022dbl, 2024aepd, 2023cvb	NCId140373 - NCId140423 , NCId140439 - NCId140492 , NCId140574 - NCId140681	Observed with mostly clear skies and variable seeing between 0.7" - 1.2" High humidity around 22:50 forced us to close and wait until conditions were good enough to continue. CTRL-C'd after K-band observation block nearly finished ( -3 frames), continued after humidity fell below 90%	Observed

70-504	2025-07-15	00:31	SoftToO	ansky	NCIg150154 - NCIg150189	Target observed in thin clouds and very dusty atmosphere with seeing around 1.0".	Observed
70-504	2025-08-08	03:02	SoftToO	2023cvb, 2025qhf, 2024rny	NCIh080475 - NCIh080528 , NCIh080595 - NCIh080648 , NCIh080649 - NCIh080702	difficulties with guiding resulted in many ctrl+c'd attempts. Seeing around 0.6", very dusty conditions.	Observed
70-504	2025-09-05	01:15	SoftToO	2023cvb	NCIi050478 - NCIi050513 , NCIi050445 - NCIi050471	CTRL+C'd after K-band due to lost connection to SOAP server. Continued with H and J bands after connection was restored.	Observed

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

Should any of the observations have been carried out using the OB system, you will find additional information HERE
