List of Astronomical Target for Nika Oct 2011 run3

FXD: first version before run

WORK IN PROGRESS (to be updated soon)

1. Planets Mars, Venus (too big, 57 arcsec), Uranus, Neptune for photometric calibration (primary calibrators)

Name	Right Ascention	Declination	Size (arcsecond diameter)	Flux @ 1.25 mm	Flux @ 2.05 mm
MARS	09:27:52.1030	16:28:10.206	5.62 * 5.59	201.1 Jy	75.6 Jy
URANUS	00:07:04.4071	-00:04:03.960	3.65 * 3.54	53.25 Jy	20.14 Jy
NEPTUNE	22:02:24.0220	-12:36:20.471	2.27 * 2.21	19.53 Jy	7.39 Jy

Here are the ephemerids for planets Planethorizon2011.pdf

and the other objects LST Strong sources Weak sources

2. Usual bright quasars

for image quality and linearity checks

3. List of bright ultracompact HII regions

for photometric calibration checks (secondary calibrators)

4. Extended emission from

Herschel new sources
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

5. Faint quasars in the 10 mJy range at 1mm (use Omont&Cox list pcox_IiAHPe_dec03_p5.pdf):

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
IRAS F10214+4724 = SDSS J102434.56+470909.5 1.3mm: 10 mJy
H1413+517 14h15m46.240s +11d29m43.40s z=2.558 1.3mm 18+-2 mJy

6 Cluster of galaxies: Main target MS0451, 04h54m11.0s, -03d00'53", z=0.55, y0=3E-4, rc=60" seen by ; Bolocam, ACT, CARMA others include RXJ1347-1145 (maybe too close to the sun), A665, A2163 and CL0016+16

If sensitivity allows demonstrate the ability to map clusters (one of the main scientific goals of this camera).

7. Blind survey Field coordinates to be agreed upon. Need 10x10 arcmin field with known faint sources. Hope to achieve 1mJy 1sigma in 1 hour with a 2x2 arcmin field of view (times 25 in 25h) : 25hours total

Here is the full detailed formatted list Source_list_fmt2011v1.txt with fluxes

Here is the catalog for Pako NIKA2011v1.sou.txt has to be RENAMED to NIKA.sou on the pako computer

Here is a short manual on useful "Pako for Nika" commands Pako_helpv2.txt
