Back to the NIKA2 1st Science pool
New frequency sweep done at beginning of the run on A2 => new KID numbering, the ref pix is now 824 (it's the same as in previous run, but its number was 823). No new freq sweep on A1 & A3; but several KIDs that were not usable previously are now usable (thanks to relatively low stable tau).
Pointing array: A2 (pix 824). Focus array: A1.

Beammap on Uranus s49 elev=40deg tau=0.25 stable
Gain curve task : 3C84 (0316+413) see table above.
Tuesday/wednesday 25/26th october 2017
40 position sources across the sky observed. Current model is found reasonable but Albrecht improves on it and implements modifications of P7, P10 and P11.
Gain curve task : 3C84 (0316+413) see table above.

Beammap analysis status
The table below gathers the beammap scan ID, comments related either to the observing condition or to the reduced beammap quality and the analysis status
Status "done" means the analysis is completed, namely the kidpar file is produced using a 2-step iteration analysis, and uploaded in SVN.
