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: 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_OV (Code Ov ) Page 2 bw090 M87 fast movie.
