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)

Here are the ephemerids for planets Planethorizon.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
• 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

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: 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).
