Describe NK2013_Jun13 here.

Back to list of day to day logbook of observations

2013-06-13

  • Cryostat Temperature: 220mK .
  • Arrays status today: 192 pixels 1mm ; 128 pixels 2mm
  • Modulation frequency: 8kHz 1mm, 4kHz 2mm

Opacity is measured with the new taumeter at 225 GHz

For start:

  • Working with the new pointing model (rms went from 5 to 2 arcsec for yesterday pointing session)
  • Nasmyth offset 28, 28 implemented in the pointing model
  • offset 0 0 /system nasmyth

Set pointing : 0, 0

NEW and definitive pointing model determined from yesterday

Set Focus : -1 mm

  • Quick description of the session:
  • Mars Pointing, focus, otfgeom.
  • Secondary calibrators
  • Bright extended source(s): Crab, NGC2023, OrionLBS
  • Skydip
  • Arp220
  • Faint sources to measure noise figures (20-40 mJy range at 1mm)
  • SZ on RXJ
