Abstract

This staff DD time request contains two independent science programs, confirmation of planetary mass companions to young stars (NIRI/Altair) and JHK photometry/L band spectroscopy of metal rich white dwarfs (NIRI). The planet and white dwarf programs require 4 & 6 hours, respectively. Any confirmed planet is worthy of a fast publication. As shown in the case of GD 362, our team has demonstrated fast data reduction and timely paper preparation/submission. We expect the same turn around timescale for data to be obtained with this DD request.
