NIKA2 run #8 January-February 2017
Goals of the run
Continue the commissioning started in run 5 and continued in run 6:
- Given the intervention in January: Redo the alignment (laser for pointing + ecosorb for pupil alignment), and then the pointing model.
As previous runs perform again the scans which are the most useful for commissioning: stack more beam maps at various focus (Z,Y,X), various elevation and various scan orientations.
- In particular we lack statistics on beam maps focus sequences starting at best average focus (not best central focus !).
- 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... monitoring possible effects on the beam maps.
- Continue all necessary calibration scnas (pointing, focus, skydips...)
- In parallel to beam maps, test deep integration on well known sources to show reproducibility in reaching the rms expected.
- Map extended features (see previous run).
- Start polarization commissioning.
See all the goals listed and described in run 5 and related links for more details.
Schedule of the run
February Telescope Schedule 24h/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.
