! ================================================================ ! 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 r r o o o o o o r ! Minimum number of stations : 8 ! 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 d d d d o ! 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: Jan 24 - Feb 5 ! Excluded dates plus reason [none]: ! Preferred interval between segments in days: 60, 60, 60, 120 ! Special conditions (e.g., a series with different ! spacings in time) : Observations should coincide with ! gamma observations made by INTEGRAL-satellite. We therefore ! ask for intervals noted above. However, these intervals ! are tentative, since we do not yet have the final INTEGRAL ! schedule. Please, note that INTEGRAL observes 3C 273 at ! 25th of January and it would be optimal to have a VLBA run ! as close to it as possible. ! ================================================================ ! ========================================================== ! ================= Cover Information ==================== ! ========================================================== version = 2 expt = 'The Physics of AGN, a Deep Understanding of the Quasar 3C 273, part 1/5' expcode = BS121A obstype = VLBA piname = 'Tuomas Savolainen' address1 = 'Tuorla Observatory, University of Turku' address2 = 'Vaisalantie 20' address3 = 'FIN-21500 Piikkio' address4 = 'Finland' phone = '+358-2-2744250' obsphone = '+358-50-5819717' email = 'tukasa@astro.utu.fi' fax = '+358-2-2433767' obsmode = 'Continuum' correl = 'Socorro' note1 = ' ' ! ========================================================== ! ============== Correlator Information ================== ! ========================================================== correl = 'Socorro' coravg = 2 corchan = 16 cornant = 10 corpol = 'on' corwtfn = 'uniform' corsrcs = 'STANDARD' cortape = 'DAT' corship1 = 'Tuomas Savolainen, Tuorla Observatory, University of Turku' corship2 = 'Vaisalantie 20' corship3 = 'FIN-21500 Piikkio, Finland' cornote1 = ' ' ! ========================================================== ! ================== Source Catalog ===================== ! ========================================================== srcfile = $SCHED/catalogs/sources.vlba srccat / source='P-RLeo', 'SiO-RLeo', 'RLeo' CALCODE = 'L' RA=09:47:33.490 DEC=11:25:43.99 epoch=j2000 vel=3.0,3.0 remarks='baudry pos, sest vel.' / source='P-UHer', 'SiO-UHer' CALCODE = 'L' RA=16:25:47.52 DEC=18:53:32.8 epoch=j2000 vel=-14., -14. / endcat / ! ========================================================== ! ================== Program control ===================== ! ========================================================== !
