NIKA run #7 January 2014
Goals of the run
Test the final NIKA configuration on the sky with Winter conditions. Validate the pipeline. Test the polarization setup on the sky. 56h total. About 8h/day. Leave the cryostat cold and ready for the scientific run (#8) in February 2014.
- Characterization of the final NIKA prototype configuration (5h)
- Perform a new pointing model starting from the old NIKA Run6 one. (5h)
- Validate all sequences (pointing, focus, skydip, zigzag otf map, Lissajou map). (5h)
- Check the sensitivity and time estimator.(5h)
- Perform some science demonstration observations on a best effort basis: Check the noise integration for 6 hours oriented towards deep field measurements, Establish standard faint source photometry (6h mostly high-z faint sources (10-40 mJy).
- Perform on-sky measurements of polarization at 1 and 2 mm. Use planets, quasars, the Crab Nebula, CasA, and Orion. (24h).
Preparation of the run
January presence at Pico (Dash (-) is for travel with night in the Granada office room on 1stDayAtPico-1, and go down from Pico and travel on FinalDayAtPico+1, X is night at Pico)

* Min room requirement gives the minimal number of room required at the telescope, implying several persons can share room in case the occupancy at the telescope is such that single rooms can't be provided to all (according to Dec 5 2013's status of the telescope room schedule everybody can have a single room; except maybe the 21 and 22 a double room might be necessary).
