NIKA2 run #1 October 2015

Back to the NIKA2 run 1 page

Goals of the run

  • Installation, first cool down and fisrt light of NIKA2 at the 30m telescope
  • Initial tests procedures: instrument response, data acquisition, alignment, pointing, focus, geometry (identification of resonances with pixels locations on the arrays),
  • Many beam maps to monitor kid stability, photometry, to get statistics on these parameters
  • Many skydips, especially at high opacity
  • A session of KIDs working point optimization
  • A pointing session
  • More maps for statistics and data quality control
  • Observations of many calibrators to monitor our photometry

For details go to the dedicated private wiki: http://www.iram.fr/wiki/nika2/index.php/NIKA2_Run1_30m_CharacterizationPlan

Preparation of the run

Telescope Schedule week 1 Telescope Schedule weeks 2 & 3 Telescope Schedule weeks 4 & 5 Telescope Schedule week 6

Astronomer of Duty
