Telephones

Preparation of the run

Observing slots: Real schedule

Real schedule 1st week New v2 Real schedule 2nd week

Program

The calibration time, 5/2 hours per day from Sat 15 to Monday 17, will be used to test the standard calibration sequences.

  • The run7 parameters were Nasmyth (-37,-30) set Pointing (-16,-2) and p11cor, p12cor=0,0 (NasInPointingModel) with Detector 494 being the reference

  • Tune kids on a quasar (Track). Cross on 6 quasars with Nas=0,0: find pointing corr. (Method suggested by Juan and Carsten 16/2/2014)
  • Update the pointing model, ie put in the right p11cor, p12cor values as well as the elevation offset p?cor
  • KID optimisation
  • Pointliss. Focus and Focusliss
  • otf_geometry
  • Liss 5min weak source
  • otf_geom again
  • Liss 5min weak source
  • skydip
  • Check all procedures ( bright and faint sources)
  • Observe at least one of the brightest asteroids. Check that orbital elements are ok and that fluxes are ok.

The scientific time will be managed in a common NIKA pool. Official 1st NIKA IRAM observing pool here. Calibration periods will be interspersed at regular intervals.

Guidelines for calibration scans:

  • (Observer responsibility) Pointing every 1h or less. Focus every 2/4 hours, more often at sunrise and sunset.
  • (NIKA team responsibility t21) otf_geom every 6 hours. Skydips every 12 hours.

* 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).

February presence at Grenoble, for offline data analysis and Real Time Support
