Diff for "PointingFluxes"

Which pointing sources to use ? Guidelines for the observer.

IRAM 30m telescope

Heterodyne

• Flux monitoring program (access only IRAM internal)
  These web pages explain the ongoing flux monitoring program using EMIR and helps the observer to select bright and nearby pointing sources:

  • pointingIRAM30m.edb for XEphem to plot pointing sources and their most recently observed flux

  • The above web page also shows plots of sources and their flux changes in time

• The HERA pool data base (password protected) lists pointing sources and the fluxes of more than 1Jy using the most recently observed MAMBO2 data from its data base. CHECK: there is no corresponding edb file ?

1mm Bolometer

• BoloPoint.edb for XEphem with their flux coded into their name. The fluxes are usually updated at the end of each semester.

• The MAMBO pool data base (password protected) lists pointing source fluxes that have most recently been observed with MAMBO2, and plots their time evolution since 2001/2. See e.g. mambo-w3oh.png

IRAM Plateau de Bure

• A printout of the PdB calibrator list is available at the30m: phase-pdb.sou

Other telescopes

• SMA Calibrator List
