NIKA2 technical run #67 / August 2024
Back to the NIKA2 Run 67 main page
Goal
Carry out verification and performance tests of the 30 m telescope using NIKA2, after recoating of M1
Essential issues to be tested:
* Check the feasibility and correctness of NIKA2 observations in a first approach after the last stop
* Test day/night behaviour of the beams
* Photometry and RMS check using flux calibrators
Observations required:
* Standard day/night point & focus sequences
* A good statistics of calibration scans on selected planets and secondary flux calibrators (see visibility plot)
* NIKA2 beam maps (~30 min each); possible targets to be used: 2251+158, Uranus, 0316+413
* A new lateral focus session would be necessary (stable conditions, telescope relaxed; it takes about 3h)
