List of Astronomical Target for Nika v2 Oct 2010 run
FXD, first draft
Please feel free to add your own preference. This will be discussed in a teleconf at a later date.
- # Planets
Mars, Venus for photometric calibration (primary calibrators)
- # Usual bright quasars
for image quality and linearity checks
- # List of bright ultracompact HII regions
- for photometric calibration checks (secondary calibrators)
- Herschel new sources
- Archeops bright cores
- bright galaxies M87 (again), M82, others
- less bright NGC1068 22mJy at 1.3mm rising to 36 at 3mm
--> Need fast speed scanning to reduce 1/f residual noise # Faint quasars in the 10 mJy range at 1mm (use Omont's list): test
detectability in faint source mode: e.g. J075618.14+410408.6 z= 5.09 20.15 1.3 mm 5.5 ± 0.5 Wang et al 2008, ApJ, 135, 1201 J092721.82+200123.7 z= 5.77 19.87g 1.3 mm 5.0 ± 0.8 mJy
- 3.5 mm: 0.12 ± 0.03 mJy
