How to observe GRBs with the IRAM 30m continuum cameras

Go to the GISMO |NIKA page.

Log into the gismos-14 or the nikas-14 pool account at the observer desk (mrt-lx7) and start a PaKo session.

$ ssh -X account@mrt-lx1.iram.es  (ask the AoD/operator for the password)
$ gopako
$ pakodisplay                   
$ pakoGISMO or pakoNIKA

Run the script for GRB observations:

PAKO> @ observe_GRB RAhh RAmm RAss DECdd DECmm DECss

For example:

@ observe_GRB  23  58  09.1  +83  49  58.2 

This command will integrate about 30 minutes on the GRB and it will generate automatically the catalog with the GRB position. Load the catalog with XEphem, choose a nearby pointing source and do pointing and focus as soon as the script is done. Repeat the script until reaching the allocated time.
