Which pointing sources to use ? Guidelines for the observer.
IRAM 30m telescope
1mm Bolometer
BoloPoint.edb for XEphem with their flux coded into their name. CHECK: Is this the most recently observed flux ?
The MAMBO pool data base 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
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 lists pointing source fluxes with more than 1Jy, that have most recently been observed with MAMBO2
IRAM Plateau de Bure
A printout of the PdB calibrator list is available at the30m: phase-pdb.sou
