COVER INFORMATION Station: HART (Code Hh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N11M2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 9.40 Release Jan. 13, 2011. 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 2/2011 (512 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 8 MHz filters) Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE Please DO NOT use the phase cal signal. COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 5cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 26 May 2011. 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, DA193 and 4C39.25 as well as phase-referencing parts with a methanol maser and a continuum source as targets, respectively. Four ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: ~12:35 (scan 04, 4 sec, DA193) ~13:18 (scan 19, 4 sec, 4C39.25) ~14:15 (scan 35, 4 sec, 4C39.25) ~14:54 (scan 43, 4 sec, 4C39.25) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Since this schedule includes a spectral line source (OMC-1S), please switch OFF the phase cal signal! 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) OMC-1S 33.5 3C84 23.1 J0541-0541 34.7 DA193 29.0 J0926+4029 68.1 4C39.25 68.5 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.
