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. The size of the markers reflect their most recently observed fluxes.

  • 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.

1mm Bolometer

• BoloPoint.edb for XEphem is a catalog of MAMBO pointing sources. The flux coded into the source names and the fluxes are usually updated at the end of each semester. At present, the size of the marker does not reflect the flux.

• 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
