NIKA2 run #3 January 2016

Back to the NIKA2 run 3 page

Goals of the run

  • Installation of new NIKEL boards => the complete 20 multiplexed tones lines (4+8+8) will be read fron now on !

  • Redo all necessary initial tests procedures for this new electronics (and the few boards kept from previous runs): instrument response, data acquisition, pointing, focus, geometry (identification of resonances with pixels locations on the arrays)
  • Many beam maps not only to monitor kid stability, photometry, sensitivity and get statistics on these parameters, but more urgently continue the beams analysis and understand beams and also time line features.

  • Skydips
  • A session of KIDs working point optimization
  • More maps for statistics and data quality control
  • Observations of many calibrators to monitor our sensitivity and photometry

The detailled characterization plan established for run 1 is still valid, and ongoing: http://www.iram.fr/wiki/nika2/index.php/NIKA2_Run1_30m_CharacterizationPlan A more summarized and concise version will be written latter (SL).

Preparation of the run

Telescope Schedule weeks 0 & 1 Telescope Schedule weeks 2 & 3

Astronomer of Duty

Staff of the run: table of the nights spent at the observatory for the NIKA2 collaboration members participating to the run (T means Tuesday, S means Saturday, first night with NIKA2 staff is Tuesday 29 September, last night is Monday 9 November, 1 stands for night scheduled at the telescope, p stands for possible extension in case of problem with the cryostat).
