----- Attempting Submission 1 (Fri Feb 24 20:03:39 GMT 2012) -----Hi Beth
Here is my phase II!
This program has some tricky schedulling, as we are trying to align the stis long slit along the axis of binaries that
move significantly on the scale of one HST cycle. I used thevisit planer to get the widest possible windows,
and I have also included a table of ORIENT angles under the comments for each visit.
The one tricky observation will be GJ1081, visit 5. The binary separation is ony ~0.1" and delta mag is ~2.
I hope to be able to deconvolve the spectra using symmetry arguments, but it will be difficult. Do you have any
thoughts on the feasibility of it? if it is hopeless we could try occulting the primary and obtaining a spectrum
of the secondary, though that would not really meet the science goals of this program.
Thanks for your help!
Serge----- Attempting Submission 1 (Tue Jul 10 20:14:32 GMT 2012) -----Probing Fundamental Stellar Parameters with HST/STIS Spectroscopy of M Dwarf BinariesWe propose to obtain spatially resolved intermediate resolution HST/STIS spectra of
six M dwarf binaries ranging in spectral type from M2V to M8V and in mass from 0.40
to 0.074 Solar Masses. All binaries have previously had their orbits mapped by HST/FGS,
leading to individual dynamical masses with a precision < 5%. The last fifteen years have
seen the development of sophisticated theoretical models for the interior structure, evolution,
and atmospheric properties of low mass stars. These models have thus far been difficult to
test in a holistic manner due to the complex interplay of the variables effective temperature,
mass, age, surface gravity, and metallicity. Fortunately these parameters are now measurable
directly via comparisons with synthetically generated spectra, as has been successfully
demonstrated by various studies. By assuming co-evolution and equal metallicity for the components
of a binary system with known masses, we will be able to test model spectra and constrain the
modeling of fundamental structural, evolutionary, and atmospheric parameters throughout most of the
M dwarf spectral class. The proposed observations are part of the PI's thesis effort to better
characterize M dwarfs and objects near the hydrogen burning mass limit.We propose to obtain intermediate resolution (R~6,000) optical
spectroscopy of point source binaries with separations ranging from
0.2" to 1.0" using the STIS CCD, the G750M
grating, and the 0.2" long slit. The observational goal is to
obtain spatially resolved spectra with a resolution sufficient to
measure the equivalent widths of several indicators of temperature,
gravity, and metallicity occurring throughout the red optical
range. The next highest resolution red optical grating, G750L, has a
dispersion of 4.92 Ang/pixel, and is therefore not suitable to
measure the equivalent width of fine features such as absorption lines
due to alkali metals and H emission. We plan on observing both
components simultaneously by orienting HST so as to align the
slit with the binary axis. All primary
targets are bright enough that they can be acquired through the
standard STIS acquisition procedure, without requiring an offset
from a brighter nearby star. Based on the FGS measurements used
to calculate the orbits, our orbital solutions can predict position
angles with residuals <1.0D. If we assure that the primary
star is centered in the 0.2" slit by performing a peakup after
coarse acquisition, requiring that a secondary 1.0" away from the
primary be placed within the central 2/4 of the slit yields a position
angle tolerance of 3D, which is much larger than the residuals
of our orbital solutions. Also, because 1.0" is an
upper limit for separations, the alignment tolerance will be
greater than 3.0D in most cases. Upon acquisition we will take an
image of the binary as viewed through the slit without the grating to
measure the precise centering of both components. This image will
allow us to estimate what fraction of the flux from each component is
going through the slit, and thus allow us to establish a relative flux
calibration for the spectra. The G750M grating has a narrow spectral
range of only 570 Angstroms, and therefore several standard tilt positions
have been configured in order to increase spectral coverage. We
propose to use the seven reddest tilt positions, providing continuous
coverage from 6,482 Ang. to 10,137 Ang. On the blue end, this range
covers the important Halpha 6563 and Li 6708
lines. On the red end, the region around 1 micron contains several
gravity sensitive FeH bands that are difficult to study from Earth due
to telluric H2O absorption. In order to save time while assuring
uniform quality, we will optimize the exposure time in each grating
tilt to provide a signal-to-noise of at least 20 for that spectral
region. For our faintest target, GJ1245C, the ETC predicts a total
exposure time of ~19min, with the longest (bluest) exposure
lasting ~7 minutes and the shortest (reddest) exposure lasting
~45s. Because the overheads are the same regardless of target
brightness and because each target must use an integer number of
orbits, brighter targets will be exposed to a signal-to-noise
significantly higher than 20 at no additional time cost to the
program. The standard tilt positions have a small coverage overlap
that will provide spectrum continuity and facilitate flux
calibration. Because we are observing in red optical wavelengths, it
will be necessary to obtain fringe flats at each tilt position. The
need to tilt the grating to seven different positions during the
observation makes the overheads for this program relatively
high. According to the STIS Instrument Handbook, Chapter 9,
tables 9.1 and 9.2, each tilt will require a 7 minute overhead,
including the time necessary to obtain fringe flats. Adding up the
time required for guide star acquisition, STIS acquisition,
peakup, slit imaging, and grating tilts results in 74 minutes of
overhead per visit. Therefore each visit will have to be carried out
over two orbits. By performing the overheads associated with three of
the grating tilts during occultation, and considering the time
required for re-acquisition, each orbit is left with ~15 min of
exposure time, which is slightly more than what is needed to obtain
the minimum desired signal-to-noise on the faintest target. The
overhead time required for this program may seem high, however it is
important to consider that each visit is effectively observing two
independent astrophysical sources, therefore making it a one orbit per
source program.COOL STARS12false0.00.0falsefalsefalsefalseSUPPORTEDSTARCOMPOSITE SPECTRAL TYPELOW MASS COMPANIONM V-IVJ2000J2000R~9.6STARCOMPOSITE SPECTRAL TYPELOW MASS COMPANIONM V-IVLHS221J2000J2000R = 10.0, I = 9.2STARCOMPOSITE SPECTRAL TYPELOW MASS COMPANIONM V-IVJ2000J2000R=11.2, I=9.8STARCOMPOSITE SPECTRAL TYPELOW MASS COMPANIONM V-IVJ2000J2000R=10.86, I=9.32STARCOMPOSITE SPECTRAL TYPELOW MASS COMPANIONM V-IVJ2000J2000R=9.77, I=8.05STARCOMPOSITE SPECTRAL TYPELOW MASS COMPANIONM V-IVJ2000J2000R=11.1, I=9.78STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M6768STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7283STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7795STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8311STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8825STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9336STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9851STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M6768STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7283STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7795STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8311STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8825STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9336STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9851STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M6768STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7283STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7795STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8311STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8825STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9336STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9851STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M6768STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7283STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7795STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8311STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8825STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9336STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9851STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M6768STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7283STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7795STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8311STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8825STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9336STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9851STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M6768STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7283STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M7795STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8311STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M8825STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9336STIS/CCDSpectroscopicNoNoG750M9851/nfs/morgan/users/dieterich/hst.cycle20.dir/phase2.dir/OP-cache/phase2-v01.xmlThe scheduling data was generated by CASM 20.2.CASM was run in Phase II mode.Note from PI (Sergio Dieterich, dieterich@chara.gsu.edu)

The purpose of this observation is to obtain simultaneous long slit spectroscopy for both components of a binary star by aligning the binary's
separation axis to the STIS long slit. The binary's position angle moves ~34 degrees during cycle 20. I have used the visit planer to select the ORIENT/date combination that seems easier to schedule, but any combination meeting the following table will acheieve the science.
Feel free to change ORIENT and date to any other match in the table if it makes life easier.
In the table, ORIENT1 and ORIENT2 are different by 180 degrees.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE ORIENT AT THE TIME OF OBSERVATION IS WITHIN THE +- TOLERANCE LISTED IN THE LAST COLUMN.
