Notes:



Useage Summary

A more-or-less current accounting of the useage for the current semester is maintained here.


Except for authorized TOOs, all requests for changes to the schedule must be approved by the scheduler or the PI.

All requests to schedule TOOs, authorized or not, must be made to the scheduler.


Standard Setups

The following is a list of spectrograph setups we have used. The most common service observing setups are 13/I, 26/I, 47/Ib, 47/II, 47/IIb, and 58/I. Other setups may be requested when the science requires them, but scheduling efficiency is increased if the standard ones are used as much as possible.

Note: Gratings may not be changed during the night. Grating tilts may be changed, at the cost of some observing efficiency.

Where are my data?

Our observer only takes the data, he does not give it to you. You must download your own data.

scp the data from either

(yymmdd is the civil date at the start of the night)

Get the v17 password from Fred Walter, or Howard Bond.

Note that recently (November 2008) CTIO has tightened their computer security, and are discouraging scp downloads. They are encouraging use of VPN (see this memo).

The data are generally kept on-line at CTIO for a week or two after they have been taken. The raw data are archived at Stony Brook and at Yale.


Special observing plans for U Sco

Instructions, in the case of an outburst of the recurrent nova U Sco, are here.

An IDL pipeline for reducing RC spectra

An IDL-based pipeline for reducing 1.5m RC spectra is now available. The manual is available in this pdf file. The full distribution, including calibration data and data to test the software on, is here.

The pipeline should run under Linux, with IDL versions 6.2 and later. You will need the IDL Astronomy User's Library in your path.

Caveat: this has not been extensively tested on other systems, so you may run into missing procedures and undefined environment variables (or hardware links). Please let me know of any problems and I will correct the problems.

An IDL pipeline for reducing echelle spectra

An IDL-based pipeline for reducing 1.5m queue echelle spectra is now available. A brief guide is available in this file. The full distribution, including calibration data, is here.

This will work only for data taken using the full chip readout.

The pipeline should run under the Linux O/S, with IDL versions 6.2 and later. You will need the IDL Astronomy User's Library in your path.

Caveat: this has not been tested on other systems, so you may run into missing procedures and undefined environment variables (or hardware links). Please let me know of any problems and I will correct the problems.
