request for additional P4 LRS2 targets before next week

[Steven Janowiecki]

Dear HET PIs with active LRS2 programs,

As you may be aware, we are planning some HPF downtime  next week to investigate a detector problem. This has been scheduled within dark time so that much of the night is dominated by HETDEX observations, but there are likely to be some thin spots in the observing queue while HPF is unavailable.

If you have been waiting to submit any more P4 targets into your programs, now is the time! I'd love to see more LRS2 P4s scattered throughout the night to eliminate any chance of idling the telescope while we don't have HPF online. Particularly helpful would be (bright) LRS2 targets which can be observed in poor seeing or in reduced transparency.

Let me know if you have questions, and thanks for considering this!

Steven
