COVER INFORMATION Station: TORUN (Code Tr ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N09L2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 8.10 Bug fixs and minor enhancements PI: Stefanie Muehle Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596508 EMAIL: muehle@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596508 Observing mode: Notes: Please DO NOT use the phase cal signal. Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 18cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 02 June 2009. The NME uses a setup similar to the one of the 1024Mbps user experiments and consists of long integrations strong sources - the fringe finders 4C39.25, 3C84 and 3C345 and the calibrators 3C273B, 3C286 and OQ208 - and a phase-referencing part. Four ftp tests are scheduled: ~13:03 UT (scan 4, 4 sec, 4C39.25) ~14:25 UT (scan 24, 8 sec, 4C39.25) ~15:46 UT (scan 31, 4 sec, 3C273B) ~17:19 UT (scan 39, 8 sec, 3C345, no Wb) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly.

The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is: Source Sun distance (deg) 3C84 25.9 J0916+3854 60.0 4C39.25 61.9 3C273B 113.7 3C286 110.1 OQ208 117.0 3C345 118.0 Barry Clark estimates from predictions by Ketan Desai of IPM scattering sizes that the Sun will cause amplitude reductions on the longest VLBA baselines at a solar distance of 60deg F^(-0.6) where F is in GHz. For common VLBI bands, this is: 327 MHz 117. deg 610 MHz 81. deg 1.6 GHz 45. deg 2.3 GHz 36. deg 5.0 GHz 23. deg 8.4 GHz 17. deg 15.0 GHz 12. deg 22.0 GHz 9. deg 43.0 GHz 6. deg
