COVER LETTER: This is BC167F. BC167 SUMMARY: 1. Nov06 (VLBA L band for 8 hrs = BC167 A) - observed 2. Feb07 (VLBA L band for 8 hrs = BC167 B) - observed 3. May07 (VLBA L band, and P+50cm for 8 hrs each = BC167 C, D) coordinated with VLA A-config run. 4. Early Aug07 (VLBA L band, and P+50cm for 8 hrs each = BC167 E, F) coordinated with VLA A-config run. 5. Dec07 (VLBA L band, and P+50cm for 8 hrs each = BC167 G, H) coordinated with VLA B-config run. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 o o o o o o o o o r Minimum number of stations [7]: May we swap PT for a single VLA antenna? [yes] 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 d Weather constraints: [appropriate for bands marked "L", "R", or "d" above and for at least the minimum number of stations] Date constraints: Preferred date(s), usually a series start [none]: This epoch any time in August 2007 (prefer early month) 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.]: BEGIN = PROJECT_INFO PROJECT_CODE = BC167F TITLE = Monitoring Knot HST-1 in M87 Jet PI_NAME = Teddy Cheung PI_ADDRESS = KIPAC, Stanford University PI_ADDRESS = Varian Physics Bldg, 382 Via Pueblo Mall PI_ADDRESS = Stanford CA 94305-4060, USA PI_PHONE = 650 736 7883 PI_OBS_PHONE = 650 736 7883 PI_EMAIL = teddy3c@stanford.edu PI_FAX = 650 725 4096 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 CORRELATOR = SOCORRO END = PROJECT_INFO BEGIN = STATION_SETUP STATION = VLBA RECORD_SCANS = 24 RECORD_HOURS = 7.40 FE = omit 90cm omit 90cm NUM_CHANNELS = 8 FORMAT = VLBA1:1 SPEEDUP = 2.00 IF = B D B D B D B D BBC_SB = U U U U U U U U NET_SB = U U U U U U U U POL = R L R L R L R L BEGIN = FREQUENCY_SET LO_SUM = 326.49 326.49 328.49 328.49 608.99 608.99 610.99 610.99 BBC_FREQUENCY = 826.49 826.49 828.49 828.49 608.99 608.99 610.99 610.99 BANDWIDTH = 2.000 2.000 2.000 2.000 2.000 2.000 2.000 2.000 END = FREQUENCY_SET END = STATION_SETUP BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = SC STATION_NAME = VLBA_SC AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 161.8 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-235/23:46:15 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = HN STATION_NAME = VLBA_HN AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 181.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/00:23:09 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = NL STATION_NAME = VLBA_NL AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 216.0 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = FD STATION_NAME = VLBA_FD AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 218.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = LA STATION_NAME = VLBA_LA AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 218.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = PT STATION_NAME = VLBA_PT AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 218.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = KP STATION_NAME = VLBA_KP AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 218.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = OV STATION_NAME = VLBA_OV AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 218.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = BR STATION_NAME = VLBA_BR AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 218.6 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = STATION_INFO STATION_ID = MK STATION_NAME = VLBA_MK AUTO_ALLOCATE = ON AUTO_REVERSE = ON TAPES = 0 PASSES = 0 DISK = 172.1 START = 2007-235/17:35:57 STOP = 2007-236/01:30:58 END = STATION_INFO BEGIN = SOURCE_INFO SOURCE_NAME = 3C147 SOURCE_RA = 05h42m36.137902s SOURCE_DEC = 49d51'07.23373" END = SOURCE_INFO BEGIN = SOURCE_INFO SOURCE_NAME = 1148-001 SOURCE_RA = 11h50m43.870749s SOURCE_DEC = -00d23'54.20538" END = SOURCE_INFO BEGIN = SOURCE_INFO SOURCE_NAME = 3C274 SOURCE_RA = 12h30m49.423381s SOURCE_DEC = 12d23'28.04383" END = SOURCE_INFO BEGIN = CORRELATOR_PARAMETERS POLARIZATION = YES TIME_AVERAGE = 1.050 FFT_SIZE = 256 SPECTRAL_AVERAGE = 2 WINDOW = UNIFORM OUTPUT_TAPE = FTP DATA_OUTPUT_RATE = 858.21 DATA_SET_SIZE = 10111.7 SOURCE_POS_ORIGIN = STANDARD END = CORRELATOR_PARAMETERS
