Code: N10L1 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 8.10 Bug fixs and minor enhancements PI: Mehreen Mahmud Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596506 EMAIL: mahmud@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596506 Observing mode: Notes: 18cm NME+FTP-FT (512 Mbps, 2-bit sampling, 8 MHz filters) for se Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 18cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 04 March 2010, involving 10 antennas: Cm Ef Wb Jb1 On Mc Nt Tr Ur Sh. The NME uses a standard setup and consists of long integrations on strong sources 0234+285 and 3C84 - the fringe finders - a target J0552+3754 and a phase-reference source DA193 (also a fringe-finder). Three ftp tests are scheduled: ~12:25 UT (scan 4, 2 sec, 0234+285) ~13:00 UT (scan 7, 1 sec, 3C84) ~15:52 UT (scan 38, 1 sec, DA193) Note that the last scan uses 1 Gpbs recording rate to test 16 MHz filter. Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Good luck with the session!

The solar corona can cause unstable phases for sources too close to the Sun. SCHED provides warnings at individual scans for distances less than 10 degrees. The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is: Source Sun distance (deg) B1937+21 56.5 0234+285 63.1 3C84 76.0 J0552+3754 104.2 DA193 104.7 J1935+2031 57.1 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
