Program

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

  • Start from run7 parameters: Nasmyth (-37,-30) , Pointing (-16,-2). Write down Pointing model values
  • Tune kids on a quasar (Track). Cross. Pointliss. Focus and Focusliss
  • Correct pointing model if necessary (Juan/Israel) (Check inverted param is corrected (Nas Pointing model))
  • Correct the pointing model with Nasx,Nasy so that Nasx,Nasy = 0 for Pako
  • (Detector 494 is now the reference)
  • otf_geom
  • Liss 5min weak source
  • KID optimisation
  • 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.

Travel plans

February presence at Pico (Dash (-) is for travel on 1stDay-1, FinalDay+1, X is night at Pico, D is for day only presence not night) and Grenoble This table is the NIKA team input table. Here is the official room occupancy plan for external pool and IRAM observers (maintained by Israel Hermelo).

* 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
