COVER INFORMATION Station: SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N10M1 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: 5cm NME and ftp fringe test for session 1/2010 Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 5cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 10 March 2010. The NME uses a setup typical for methanol spectral line experiments, but with 16 channels, i.e. using both sidebands of all BBCs, and 8 MHz filters. The schedule consists of long integrations on strong calibrators like 3C84 and DA193 as well as a phase-referencing part. Four ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment. Note that the transfer times of Sh (estimates given below) govern the schedule of the tests. The data transfers are scheduled to begin at ~12:15 (scan 02, 4 sec, 3C84) Sh: 60min Nt: 30min ~13:28 (scan 09, 4 sec, DA193) Sh: 60min Nt: 30min ~14:41 (scan 30, 4 sec, DA193) Sh: 60min Nt: 30min ~15:53 (scan 42, 8 sec, 4C39.25) Sh: 120min Nt: 60min Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly.

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) 3C84 70.5 DA193 99.0 J0612+4122 102.2 4C39.25 136.3 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.
