Scientific paper

The policy and procedure are described for the implementation of MAMA (currently, ACS/SBC) observations of targets subject to infrequent and unpredictable large outbursts, that would exceed the countrate limits should they occur during the observations. The proposers of such programs are required to provide either external or HST observations establishing quiescence of the targets within about 24 hours of the start of MAMA observations. Otherwise, a flag disabling MAMA turn-on will not be cleared via real-time command, and the observations will not occur. Targets with large outbursts on very short timescales, such as flare stars, should not be observed with the SBC MAMA.
