SUMMARY FILE FOR PROJECT: BJ045E COVER INFORMATION: Experiment: 3mm observing with autopeak Exp. Code: BJ045E Start Day 236 is Thu 24 Aug 2006 MJD 53971 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 6.05 June 2006 PI: Bill Junor Address: ISR-1, Space & Atmospheric Sciences MS D466, LANL, P.O.

COVER LETTER: BJ045 SUMMARY: This project needs about 40 hours times 28 baselines to meet the sensitivity requirements. This time can be accumulated in many separated sessions but MK should appear in all sessions. Each session should be a full track with all antennas to set the calibration and ensure full uv coverage. Tropospheric weather is the problem for these 3mm observations. 3C274 is mostly a night-time object now. 2 tapes per station. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the official dynamic scheduling sheet: ================================================================ Preferred Dynamic Contraints. Alter [defaults] as desired. ================================================================ Equipment constraints: Stations. Below each station code, the "o" indicates an [optional] station that is to be used if it is available. Change "o" to "r" if the station is required or change "o" to "n" if the station is not to be used. SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK n o o o o o o o n r Minimum number of stations [7]: May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? [no] Consult http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~gtaylor/y1gotcha.html to decide. If you adopt the default, then both PT and VLA1 must be in the stations list in the keyin file. Bands and polarizations. Below each band code, insert "R" if the righthand polarization is to be used, "L" if the lefthand polarization is to be used, "d" if dual polarizations are to be used, or "o" if the band is in your setups but scheduling should not be constrained by its availability. 90cm 50cm 20cm 13cm 6cm 4cm 2cm 1cm 7mm 3mm d Weather constraints: [appropriate for bands marked "L", "R", or "d" above and for at least the minimum number of stations] Best tropospheric conditions for 3mm. Date constraints: Preferred date(s), usually a series start [none]: Excluded dates plus reason [none]: Preferred interval between segments in days [none]: Special conditions (e.g., a series with different spacings in time) [See the comments at the top.]: Must include MK CORRELATION REQUESTS (Defaults in parentheses): Correlator (Required if recording): SOCORRO Correlator average time (2 sec): 1.000 sec.

Resyncs follow tape stoppages and formatter reconfigures. For VLBA DAR stations, total reconfigures and reconfigures during recording are shown. Reconfigures during recording can cause slow correlator sync. Any reconfigure can slow sync at JIVE.

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) 3C273 34.7 3C274 33.5 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 Source separations in degrees for pairs closer than 30.00 degrees. 3C273 3C274 10.3480 J2000 coordinates formatted for possible transfer to the correlator data base: name = '3C273' ra = 12h29m06.699732s dec = 02d03'08.59815" name = '3C274' ra = 12h30m49.423381s dec = 12d23'28.04383" Catalogs: Station: /home/filehost/cwalker/sched/catalogs/stations.dat Version: 2006Jun08-14:55:16 Location: /home/filehost/cwalker/sched/catalogs/locations.dat Version: Not known Frequency: /home/filehost/cwalker/sched/catalogs/freq.dat Version: 2006Jun08-14:55:16 Source: /home/filehost/cwalker/sched/catalogs/sources.vlba Version: Not given Code versions: Release version: 6.05 June 2006 Version of VEX standard: 1.50 Version of VEX code: 0.86 Version of plot code: 1.06 Version of ephemeris code: 1.01 Version of PGPLOT: v5.2.0
