COVER INFORMATION Station: SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N12C1 Schedule Version: 2.00 Processed by SCHED version: 9.40 Release Jan. 13, 2011. PI: Yurii Pidopryhora Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596548 EMAIL: pidopryhora@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596548 Observing mode: Notes: Cheers Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 6cm NME on 08 March 2011 involving 13 antennas: Eb Wb Jb1 On Mc Tr Ys Sv Zc Bd Ur Sh Hh In this session the C-band ftp test is separate from the NME (F12C1), but in addition we schedule a couple of the ftp-tests here, just in case some additional checking is needed. The NME uses a standard setup and consists of long integrations on a fringe-finder 0528+134 and 2 hr phase-referencing part, using a 100 mJy-class calibrator J0522+1415 as a target and the same 0528+134 as a phase-referencing source. Two ftp tests are scheduled: ~13:14 UT (scan 02, 4 sec, 0528+134) ~14:23 UT (scan 24, 4 sec, 0528+134) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Good luck with the session!

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) J0522+1415 92.6 0528+134 94.5 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
