Projects which participate in Pooled Observing have an account in the IRAM [http://pool.iram.es: Database] for Pooled Observations.

The Database allows the users

  • to provide us with the necessary details how to carry out the observations (ObsForm),

  • to check the progress of the project and
  • to download the project data and related calibration scans.
  • to download the software (MOPSIC) + the pipeline (for bolo obs)

Update the ObsForm while your project progresses. The Database also allows the PI's to add remarks on individual observation. In this way we hope to improve the communication between the PI's and the observers at the telescope.

Since all details about your project will be available from the Dababase we no longer need a source catalog file.

For Heterodyne projects taking part at the Pooled observations it is still necessary to generate a

  • line catalog (if lines are not in the [http://www.iram.es/IRAMES/observing/flexible/model.lin IRAM line] catalog or if you observe redshifted sources)

  • setup files for the tuning of the receivers
  • backend file
  • on-source procedure for observations of the target source(s).

Please see our instructions for heterodyn observations on how to prepare these files and for templates..

If your project takes part in Pooled Observation we will provide you with your username and password for the Database before the beginning of the Pool. Please log into the Database, fill out your ObsForm and upload your procedures via anonymous ftp or sent them by email to kramer@iram.es indicating your project_id.

So far we did not have time to prepare a manual for the use of the Database. But we hope that most things are self-explanatory. If you have questions concerning the Database, your ObsForm or your observing procedures please contact Carsten Kramer.
