How to observe GRBs with the IRAM 30m continuum cameras
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. Check the pointing every hour or so.
