Observing Team

DES Observers: Mandeep Gill, Brian Yanny, Marty Murphy
Telops: Hernan Tirado, Alberto Alvarez
Remote Support: Keith Bechtol, Tom Diehl, Douglas Tucker

Observing Plan

 

  1. standard bias and dome flat sequence
  2. evening standards: Chose only one standard due to clouds. It was successful.
  3. run ObsTac queue
  4. middle/end of the night standard star
  5. handover to community observers (delete if n.a.)
  6. end of night calibrations

#Addendum: ToO – IceCube Alert

 

Conditions

  1. weather in afternoon: 4:00pm (local): Cool, partly cloudy
  2. weather after dinner: 7:00pm (local): Cooler, sky clearing a bit, but still some cover.

Accomplishments

  1. Afternoon: First DES run since 10/31/17. Calibrations were completed later than usual due to the camera being cooled down during the afternoon. Dome flats complete by 6:00pm – flats were checked and deamed good.
  2. Evening: Standards (693579-693584); only one set due to clouds. Included U-band.
  3. Survey Exposures: (693597-693599); (693690-693692); 693697; (693703-693705)
  4. SN exposures E1 (693585-693590), E2 (693591-693596), X1 (693600-693605), X2 (693606-693611), X3 (693618-693643), S2 (693644-693644), S1 (693650-693655), C3 (693656-693677); (693693-693696), C2 (693678-693683), C1 (693684-693689); Low-z S/N (693698-693702)

#Ran json for ToO IceCube Alert between S/N X2 & X3. IceCube exposures (693612-693617)

  1. End of night: Standards (693706-693711); (693712-693717)
