SUMMARY FILE FOR PROJECT: MT515 COVER INFORMATION: Experiment: VLBA Monitoring Exp. Code: MT515 Start Day 102 is Tue 12 Apr 2005 MJD 53472 Schedule Version: 3.10 Processed by SCHED version: 6.01 Release: Late March 2005 PI: Lorant Sjouwerman Address: NRAO-AOC P.O.Box O Socorro NM 87801, U.S.A. Phone: +1-505-838-4507 (home) EMAIL: lsjouwer@nrao.edu, analysts@nrao.edu Fax: Phone during observation: +1-505-835-7332 (work) Observing mode: VLBA 128MHz 8bbc 1bit R+L Notes: VLBA Monitoring test in dynamic scheduling and runs for 90 minutes (1.5 hours) total. Note: MAKE SURE ONE SOURCE IS SELECTED COVER LETTER: Please schedule ONE source depending on between approximately -3h to +3h of LST in Pie Town; a source can be selected by deleting the -one and only- ONE explanation mark in front of it. CORRELATION REQUESTS (Defaults in parentheses): Correlator (Required if recording): SOCORRO Correlator average time (2 sec): 1.835 sec. Alternate average time (for spacecraft). 0.000 sec. Spectral channels per baseband (16): 64 Number of antennas to be correlated: 10 Polarization (ON): ON Correlator weighting function (UNIFORM): UNIFORM Distribution tape (DAT): DAT Source positions from: SCHEDULE Shipping address for correlator output: Analysts Office NRAO-AOC P.O.Box O, Socorro NM 87801, U.S.A. Correlator Notes: Note: Job scripts will produce three different setups. VLBA auto-release test. Please correlate at highest priority. Please run sniffer promptly after correlation and directly after that get the data tape to the analysts (AOC mail box). ThanX.. DERIVED INFORMATION FOR CORRELATION: Elapsed time for project: 1.50 hours. Total time in scheduled scans: 1.21 hours. Total time in recording scans: 1.21 hours. Total number of baseline hours: 66.73 (Recording scans only) Projected maximum data output rate from the correlator: 245.5 kbytes/sec if processed in one pass. Projected correlator output data set size: 1024.8 Mbytes NOTE: Above numbers assume the same correlator parameters are used for all data.

The solar corona can cause unstable phases for sources too close to the Sun. SCHED provides warnings at individual scans for distances less than 10 degrees. The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is: Source Sun distance (deg) 1749+096 110.8 Barry Clark estimates from predictions by Ketan Desai of IPM scattering sizes that the Sun will cause amplitude reductions on the longest VLBA baselines at a solar distance of 60deg F^(-0.6) where F is in GHz. For common VLBI bands, this is: 327 MHz 117. deg 610 MHz 81. deg 1.6 GHz 45. deg 2.3 GHz 36. deg 5.0 GHz 23. deg 8.4 GHz 17. deg 15.0 GHz 12. deg 22.0 GHz 9. deg 43.0 GHz 6. deg J2000 coordinates formatted for possible transfer to the correlator data base: name = '1749+096' ra = 17h51m32.818572s dec = 09d39'00.72844" Catalogs: Station: /home/arana/cwalker/sched/catalogs/stations.dat Version: 2005Feb28-16:32:35 Location: /home/arana/cwalker/sched/catalogs/locations.dat Version: 08 Mar 2004 Frequency: /home/arana/cwalker/sched/catalogs/freq.dat Version: 2005Feb28-16:32:35 Source: /home/arana/cwalker/sched/catalogs/sources.vlba Version: 2005 March 1 Code versions: Release version: 6.01 Release: Late March 2005 Version of VEX standard: 1.50 Version of VEX code: 0.84 Version of plot code: 1.05 Version of ephemeris code: 1.01 Version of PGPLOT: v5.2.0
