NIKA, January 24th, 2014 / S5

Back to list of day to day logbook of observations

2014-01-24

  • We use both the manual log below and the tapas database that automatically fills scans table with the scan informations.
  • So please login with the t21 acount and its usual password (durc***9) to the TAPAS database.

  • For now the TAPAS is not fully filled in real time, but completed with all the scans everyday by Pablo on the morning following the observations. So we keep a manual log below, but in a simplified table with the comments and only the most useful scan info.

Programm for today:

  • We start with the polariser mounted and running.
  • Skydip.
  • Focus and Beam maps on Uranus. Centered on the refence detector: #494 of the 2mm array (#5 of the 1mm array is very close to it).
  • Polar Lissajous on several quasars
  • Finish polar session at sunset with beam map on Uranus and skydip.
  • Dismount polariser just after sunset.
  • Beam map on Uranus
  • Resume pointing session
  • Beam map on Uranus or a bright quasar.
  • Integration on a very weak source to measure the noise.

Remark for NIKA staff: Good data are on RAW_X9

OFFSET -37 -30 /sys Nasmyth => select detector 494 as reference
