RCP/LCP 1cm VLBA 8h track. This schedule is to be used for both of the approved epochs. No cover letter provided. CORRELATION REQUESTS (Defaults in parentheses): Correlator (Required if recording): SOCORRO Correlator average time (2 sec): 1.900 sec. Alternate average time (for spacecraft). 0.000 sec. Spectral channels per baseband (16): 128 Number of antennas to be correlated: 10 Polarization (ON): ON Correlator weighting function (UNIFORM): UNIFORM Distribution tape (DAT): DAT Source positions from: VLBA DATABASE Shipping address for correlator output: Shinji Horiuchi National Astronomical Observatory of Japan 2-12 Hoshigaoka, Mizusawa Iwate 023-0861, Japan Correlator Notes: DERIVED INFORMATION FOR CORRELATION: Elapsed time for project: 8.52 hours. Total time in scheduled scans: 7.67 hours. Total time in recording scans: 7.67 hours. Total number of baseline hours: 397.99 (Recording scans only) Projected maximum data output rate from the correlator: 948.5 kbytes/sec if processed in one pass. Projected correlator output data set size: 6177.4 Mbytes NOTE: Above numbers assume the same correlator parameters are used for all data. NOTE: Output data set size large. Consider requesting high density tapes. ******** WARNING: Projected correlator output data rate exceeds VLBA correlator limit of 500 kbytes per second. Higher rates may be ok.
