NIKA2 technical run 32 / 17-24 September 2019

Back to the NIKA2 Run 32 main page

Goals

- Continue commissioning of the new acquisition software (DAQ v3), after June's fix on tuning and few other "minor" things.

- New sweep to define new tones comb parameter (closed window + open on good sky if possible).

- Use the external calibrator: tests scans on/off, then rest of the run on (if no deterioration of data: from now on always use it).

- Continue polarization commissioning (help of calibrator for leakage and so on / synchronization / calibration).

- Scans - mainly beam maps - in total power & polar to acquire statistics for DAQ v3 commissioning.

- Use the upgraded PIMP to characterize in situ NIKA2 instrumental band passes, with possible dependence on polarization angle.

- Possible tests on tuning parameters.

Observers and Schedule

• Telescope Schedule
  

All the people who will participate to the pool run must appear in the table below; each one must inform Samuel and contact Laura to reserve rooms in Granada and at the telescope. For those who travel on IRAM funds, contact Samuel; see also the NIKA2 travel rules.

Staff of the run in September 2019: 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).

(*) For the rooms, count persons from the NIKA collaboration and Grenoble, but not from IRAM Granada.
