= 2nd NIKA Pool Organization, NIKA run #10 (November 2014) = [[NIKA/Main|Back to the NIKA main page]] [[ListOfAstroTarget2014N10 | List of Astronomical Targets, observing strategies, PaKo]] [[DailyReports10 | Daily Reports]] [[D2DLogNika10 |Day to day logbook of observations & Quick look plots table]] The 2nd open NIKA pool will take place from the 11th to the 21st of November 2014. Here is the precise schedule [[ http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/PV/sche/14/s45v2.html | week1]] and [[ http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/PV/sche/14/s47v2.html | week2]] Please read the general [[ http://iram-institute.org/EN/content-page-149-7-55-149-0-0.html | rules ]] for pooled observations at the IRAM 30m radiotelescope. ---- Visiting observers must fill out the [[http://www.iram.es/IRAMES/forms/obsrequest/ | standard travel form]] well in advance of their travel dates. When submitted the form is sent to Esther Franzin at IRAM/Granada (and Cathy Berjaud at IRAM/Grenbble) who will then reserve room in Granada and at the telescope. As we only have a limited number of sleeping rooms at the telescope, this step is absolutely required. Esther is also the right person if you have questions about transportation. == Room occupancy == || '''November''' || Fri 07 || Sat 08 || Sun 09 || Mon 10 || Tue 11 || Wed 12 || Thu 13 || Fri 14 || Sat 15 || Sun 16 || Mon 17 || Tue 18 || Wed 19 || Thu 20 || Fri 21 || Sat 22 || Sun 23 || Mon 24 || Tue 25 || ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||'''IRAM Staff'''|| || N.
