NIKA2 run #7 December 2016

Back to the NIKA2 run 7 page

Goals of the run

Continue the commissioning started in run 5 and continued in run 6:

  • Still stack more beam maps at various focus (Z,Y,X), various elevation and various scan orientations (standard az-el, but also el-az) to increase the statistics on what we already have.

  • Test the external calibrator mounted on a bar in front of the vertex window.
  • Continue to monitor regularly secondary calibrators to check stability of the instrument gains.
  • Continue any necessary work on detectors working point, electronics, acquisition, synchronizations, data files...
  • If beam maps statistics start to be sufficient for having a good characterization of the beam structure, stability, synchronizations: test deep integration.
  • If beam maps statistics start to be sufficient for having a good characterization of the beam structure, stability, synchronizations: map extended features, and at least 1 showcase.
  • If beam maps statistics start to be sufficient for having a good characterization of the beam structure, stability, synchronizations: start polarization commissioning.

See all the goals listed and described in run 5 and related links for more details.

Schedule of the run

Telescope Schedule ~14h/day Observations.

All the persons who will participate to the run must appear in the table below; each one must have informed at least Samuel, Esther (for the rooms in Granada and at the telescope), Beatrice (for the ones who fly on IRAM funds, see NIKA2 travel rules).

Staff of the run: table of the nights spent at the observatory for the NIKA2 collaboration members participating to the run (T = Tuesday, S = Saturday, 1 = night scheduled at the telescope, g = night in Granada office.
First day at the telescope: Tuesday, October 25, 2016.
