    121121From commissioning experience at the LBT, for the daytime activities at the telescope platform, the telescope may be handed over around 09:00 am local time. And, the SHARK-NIR team needs to hand over the telescope to LBT ~2 hours before the sunset (unless we have the first half of the night or full night and to be negotiated with the telescope operator). As a general rule, the SHARK-NIR team will be working also on the weekends when at the summit. Of course, if LBTO support is required, this will be communicated with the LBTO mountain manager well in advance. Note that the duration of the individual activities mentioned in this document will not match that of AD4 for the same activities.

    165172Phase 3 is further divided into 5 runs. Run 1 consists of essential common activities essential for every observing case. This will be the first to be tested on-sky. Run 2-5 blocks represent the nighttime technical commissioning of a set of 17 observing cases. For each of the observing cases, only one target will be tested. The contrast obtained from the data will be used as the merit function or success criterion. If contrast is not an option, a similar (or another) merit function will be used. After the completion of each of these runs, SHARK-NIR will be ready for Phase 4 (science verification) of the respective observing cases.
