Preliminaries (last update: 2026/03/17):

According to DJ, a new sweep is provided before the beginning of this re-commissioning week. We will proceed as usual: (i) point/focus with the old sweep, (ii) get beam maps with the new sweep, (iii) then observe with the old sweep until the new DAFs/Kidpars are ready (it usually takes few hours).
A correction of parameters P2 and P7 of the pointing model of NIKA2 is provided on Monday 23/3/2026 (based on the round mean of the most recent pointing corrections: ΔAz. = 4", ΔEl. = 6")
A complete report about the intervention of NIKA2+ for hardware adaptation to focus differences can be read here.

Notes for the next (run 80) re-commissioning campaign (under construction):

== Main Goals ==

 * New sweep (run 80)
 * produce high-quality DAFs/RPPs and Kidpars
 * determine the optimal Z focus position and study the focus surface
 * produce new final NEFDs for total power
 * produce new final NEFDs for polarimetry (probably and likely in Autumn).
