Summary of May 2003 KPNO 4-m spectroscopy SHEEP run: Summary is based on Sifis's summary. I tried nearly every target on the list, although quite a few turned out too faint to do in any reasonable exposure time on the 4-meter. A few I got lucky with and identified [O III] doublets. Now, there was a bad bias problem that has introduced some continuum wiggles in the faint targets also. first coloumn: the chandra source name second+third coloumns: the CHANDRA ra and deg, as sent to us by Paul a few days ago. (I saw that they are as good as the optical coordinates so I use those numbers) fourth coloumn: R band magnitude fifth column: various comments. sixth column: z and classification, if any NAME RA DEC Rmag COMMENTS; z and class --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'AX J1115.4+5308' - - - NO OPT.

Source is in the skinakas image called "AXJ3-Rw.fits". Astrometry may not be accurate at this part of the image, it may be the actual counterpart.

'AX J1617.0+3506' 244.269 35.0774 - NO OPTICAL COUNTERPART --- 'AX J1618.1+3459' 244.548 34.9663 - Counterpart is OUTSIDE z=1.7, QSO the field of skinakas image (last 2 targets are in the image called "AXJ2n-Rw.fits". It is clear in the DSS2 image Andy sent. The astrometry of the fields with comment "see below" is not precise. The situation with the optical counterpart in the field AXJ1406.2+2228 is VERY tricky. You will see that the optical image is assymetric. I believe that the optical counterpart is a faint source immediatedly below of the bright source that you will see (it is on the lower left part of the bright source). The magnitude I send you corresponds to both sources as I cannot easily subtract the bright source (even PSF didn't work well, but I will try again). I suspect that your slit will cover both sources anyway, but it will be difficult to disentangle the two spectra. AXJ1406.1+2233 was indeed added by Monday and observed Monday night.
