Observers HowTo and Tips

Antenna IMBFits recovery

In case of an Antenna IMBFits file is not present in ${IMB_FITS_DIR}, a method is given below to generate it again in our project directory (t22) on the IRAM's machine (mrt-lxN, N in {1, 2, 3}). This is from a discussion with Albrecht on Oct. the 22nd.

1. connect to an IRAM's machine (mrt-lxN, N in {1, 2, 3}) using the login of the project (e. g. t22)

>> ssh -X t22@mrt-lx3.iram.es

The currect directory is the project dir. : /mrt-lx3/vis/t22

2. load the NCS configuration (e. g. PATH of the pyrhon script) -- it relies on an alias that points to /etc/useNCS

>> useNCS

3. run make_BOLOMETER_NIKA.py <<scan_ID>>. For example:

>> make_BOLOMETER_NIKA.py 20151022s124

FYI, this script is in /ncsServer/mrt/ncs/bin/

Observation sheets

To produce an observation sheets indicating the availability of the sources undertake the following steps" * open a window in an IRAM computer: > ssh -X t22@mrt-lx3.iram.es (it can also be done in NIKA2) * go to the PaKo directory : > cd PaKo * launch the astro program: > astro * for planets : ASTRO> horizon /planet (you can save using the hardcopy button) * for sources : ASTRO> catalogue NIKA2R1 (you can use other catalogs if you prefer)

• ASTRO> horizon /source next 20 /night_marks (repeat until catalogue sources are plotted and harcopy if you want)
