P72-507

P72-507: Superorbital variability of the Be stellar disk in LSI +61303

P.I.: Petri Vaisanen

This is a Monitoring program using FIES and ALFOSC.

Instrument setup

  • FIES : Low-res fiber F1

  • ALFOSC : FAPOL, lambda/2, UBVRi

Afternoon instructions

  • Run afternoon calibrations: fies-calibs -fib 1

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/72-507/ and do ls -lrt

  • Start the requested OB generated script
