Preliminary plan

We wish to do the following:

  • start in total power: point, focus (!), point, calib_1scan, beam maps (at least 2)
  • analyze focus difference between Ar1 and Ar2
  • analyze beam maps and produce DAFs RPPs for the new Ar3. Install the new RPPs for Ar3
  • analyze the focus difference between Ar1 and Ar3
  • perform many focus sequences to have some statistics
  • polarimetry beam maps
  • more total power beam maps
  • out of focus total power beam maps
  • total power deep field (HLS 091828), to derive the new, final NEFD of NIKA2 TP
  • polarimetry deep field (3C286, M87, 3C353, ...?) to derive the new IQU NEFD of NIKA2-Pol
  • 084-25 polarimetry
  • 140-25, 146-25 polarimetry
  • 196-25 total power
  • test long subscans with our favorite, total power, 100 arcsec/s
  • C/2025 R3 Panstarrs, polarimetry
  • deep field 03h32m31.75s −27d46m51.5s, total power, 14x14 arcmin2, 100 arcsec/s
  • test Sgr A* polarimetry scan strategy
  • ... other wishes ...
