2. Usual bright quasars
- for image quality, linearity checks, and pointing sessions and photometry
3. Secondary calibrators
- for image quality, linearity checks, and pointing sessions and photometry
Here is IRAM old published report: Secondary Calibrators Lisenfeld report, and, more recent list updated till the end of the MAMBO pool in 2010: Secondary Calibrators MAMBO pool database.
Here is the full detailed formatted list Full list with fluxes, which translates to this .sou file for pako
Here is a list of IRAM pointing sources with fluxes at 3mm and 2mm (I miss fluxes at 1mm, SL) FluxForPointingSources
Interface with the telescope: PaKo
Short manual on useful "Pako for Nika" see on Granada computers on the NIKA directory Pako_helpv17.txt
- Pako scripts are in the Pako subdirectory
- Before starting the pointing session, we may be requested to move the azimuth by 60deg to reset the inclinometer of the az axis.
- Always stay at more that 1 deg from the Sun. There are internal safeties that prevent the antenna to point to the Sun, but we may not get error messages.
- try to get sources uniformly distributed on the sky, hence give priority to high elevation sources that are usually harder to reach.
- Do one focus at the beginning. No need to do more focus than one every 2-3hours.
The antenna can point between 60 and 460 degrees in azimuth, between 20 and 80 degrees in elevation.
- If a source is available both at low and high azimuth, use command SET TOPO LOW (or SET TOPO HIGH) to stay on the source without moving.
- The minimum number of sources to observe for the pointing model is 15. 30 is good enough.
- the pointing sources should be observed on 'short' period, e.g. 3-4 hours to avoid daily pointing variations
