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 2024-10-16 01:56 SoftToO 2024rny, 2024pvu NCHj160007 - NCHj160060,NCHj160088 - NCHj160141 Could only observe two targets due to cloud cover in beginning of night. Observed
70-504 2024-12-16 01:25 SoftToO 2024rny,2022dyt NCHl160300 - NCHl160353 ,NCHl160664 - NCHl160690 Only rny was observed without significant disturbance from clouds. For 2024wsd, few exposures could be taken before cloud cover made it impossible to detect the target. 2022 dyt was observed through variable cover of thin clouds. Guiding was largely maintained and most images are believed to be useful. Observed
70-504 2024-12-17 01:20 SoftToO 2020afhd, 2024wsd NCHl170188 -NCHl170241,NCHl170322 - NCHl170375 It is not clear how much of the first files can be used regarding target 2020afhd. Because of scattered clouds moving around the target was restarted several times. Observed
70-504 2025-01-13 00:55 SoftToO 2024rny, 2019qiz, 2022dyt NCIa130184 - NCIa130237 High winds all night, so a lot of tries of the OBs Almost finished observing 2022dyt before the OB had to be aborted, resulting in files NCIa130467 - NCIa130485 Observed
70-504 2025-01-14 02:36 SoftToO 2019qiz, 2024wsd, 2024aepd NCIa140342 - NCIa140431; NCIa140671 - NCIa140724 Targets observed with clear skies throughout the night and seeing ranging between 0.7-1.0" primarily. The night started off with relatively strong winds and so some targets had to be observed later when they weren't in the direction of the incoming wind. Observed
70-504 2025-01-15 01:56 SoftToO 2024pvu, 2022pna NCIa150212 - NCIa150265,NCIa150271 - NCIa150324 Observed in clear sky and seeing from 0.6" to 0.8". 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
