File upload
Upload a PDF file extending no more than four pages and including two sections to justify the scientific case and the observations requested. Figures and captions can be included. Maximum file size is 3M. In observations requested, mention specifically what feature(s) you want to measure and how. Justify what signal-to-noise is necessary and the estimated integration time to realise this. Specify the airmass, FWHM and sky brightness used for such calculation. Justify the instrument mode and the setup choice.

Instrument setup
Information
Information about WEAVE/LIFU's observational capabilities (e.g. spectroscopic resolutions, wavelength ranges and expected signal-to-noise ratios) can be found on the
WEAVE instrumental overview page. For additional information, or advice about e.g. observing strategy, or about observations with unusual setup, acquisition, tracking or scheduling requirements, contact Chris Benn (crb
ing.iac.es).
The detector on each arm of the spectrograph is a mosaic of two 6k×6k
e2V CCDs. The default readout mode is slow, with no binning in the spatial direction. A
requirement for a different readout mode should be justified in the
technical case above. More detailed infomation, required to construct the WEAVE observing
blocks, will be sought in phase 2.
Focal-plane mode
LIFU (lenslet diameter=2.6 arcsec, hexagonal FoV 90 arcsec×78 arcsec)
Spectrograph mode
Spectral binning
Consider spectral binning for reducing the exposure time.
