Note: MAKE SURE ONE SOURCE IS SELECTED COVER LETTER: Please schedule ONE source depending on between approximately -3h to +3h of LST in Pie Town; a source can be selected by deleting the -one and only- ONE explanation mark in front of it. CORRELATION REQUESTS (Defaults in parentheses): Correlator (Required if recording): SOCORRO Correlator average time (2 sec): 1.835 sec. Alternate average time (for spacecraft). 0.000 sec. Spectral channels per baseband (16): 64 Number of antennas to be correlated: 10 Polarization (ON): ON Correlator weighting function (UNIFORM): UNIFORM Distribution tape (DAT): DAT Source positions from: SCHEDULE Shipping address for correlator output: Analysts Office NRAO-AOC P.O.Box O, Socorro NM 87801, U.S.A. Correlator Notes: Note: Job scripts will make 3 different setups, plus a 512Mbps in 2 passes. Please correlate at highest priority. Please run sniffer promptly after correlation and directly after that get the data tape to the analysts (AOC mail box). ThanX.. DERIVED INFORMATION FOR CORRELATION: Elapsed time for project: 1.50 hours. Total time in scheduled scans: 1.20 hours. Total time in recording scans: 1.20 hours. Total number of baseline hours: 60.83 (Recording scans only) Projected maximum data output rate from the correlator: 245.5 kbytes/sec if processed in one pass.

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) 0923+392 153.5 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.
