P70-018: Unraveling the nature of fast blue optical transients

PI: Hanindyo Kuncarayakti



ALFOSC + NOTCam ToO program with override status

ToO triggers have override status.

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/70-018/.

For the observer:

Go to the directory
  cd ~/scripts/70-018
List the available scripts
  ls -lrt
and execute the OB generated scripts requested.
If you cannot find the corresponding observing script, please (re-)compile it from the Queue interface.

In the case of NOTCam, make sure that differential skyflats are obtained for the camera and filter setup that is requested.

Remember to fill the ToO or SoftToO tracking log of this program.

Proposal Date Time Type Targets Files Comments Status
70-018 2024-10-01 00:28 SoftToO AT2024wpp ALHj010247 - ALHj010267 The target was observed successfully. The data was shared with proposal 70-014, so the time spent is cut in half. The files for the spectroscopic standard for grism 4 (HD19445) can be found in the calibs-folder. Feige110 was not observed because this standard used the same setup. Observed
70-018 2024-10-04 00:45 SoftToO SP1550+330, AT2024wpp ALHj040079 - ALHj040085, ALHj040140 - ALHj040160 Shared from 70-014. Two B-band polarimetry files might not have been shared correctly in the software. If this is the case, please contact us or the PIs of 70-014 for assistance. Observed
70-018 2024-10-07 00:39 SoftToO AT2024wpp ALHj070283 - ALHj070295 Observed in clear skies with seeing around 1.0" Observed
70-018 2024-10-16 01:13 SoftToO 2024wpp NCHj160187 - NCHj160240 Observed with clear skies, sub-arcsec seeing. Observed
70-018 2024-10-18 00:22 SoftToO AT2024wpp ALHj180175 - ALHj180182 OB shared with P70-018 because of the request in the comments of P70-014. Observed
70-018 2025-01-12 01:47 SoftToO WFST241224a, WFST241214a, HD19445 ALIa120053 - ALIa120057, ALIa120067 - ALIa120071, ALIa120093 - ALIa120097 Clear skies, both science targets were observed with a seeing around 1 arcsec, and the standard was observed with a seeing around 1.2 arcsec Observed
70-018 2025-01-29 00:00 SoftToO HD19445 ALIa290114 - ALIa290117 Could not observe due to high wind. Only collected standard star spectrum at the start of the night. Failed
70-018 2025-01-30 00:20 SoftToO WFST250129a, HD19445 ALIa300052 - ALIa300060 Very high winds coming from the SE quadrant, so had to wait until the targets were outside the direction of the wind. However, due to the varying wind direction, they often fell within 85 degrees of where the wind was coming from and the script had to be aborted. Only managed to observe one of the targets and a standard star at similar airmass. Otherwise observed in clear skies and with relatively good seeing. 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
