It was proposed after the every-three-week movie made with BW088 was determined to be undersampled. Here is the key information from the time allocation email for the original 10 sessions. The extension was requested after experiencing lots of failures in the first 7 epochs. PROPOSAL STATUS ( 12/31/2007 ): Approved for dynamic scheduling, high priority CURRENT TIME ALLOCATION: 10 times 10.0 hrs dynamically scheduled centered at LST 12.5 with 256 Mbits/sec recording Note request for 32 output spectral channels per baseband. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schedule for VLBA_HN (Code Hn ) Page 2 bw090 M87 fast movie.
