COVER INFORMATION Station: SHANGHAI (Code Sh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N10C2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 9.30 Release near March 23, 2010 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: Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 6cm NME on 27 May 2010 involving up to 15 antennas: {Cm} {Kn} Ef Wb Jb1 On Mc Nt Tr Ys Ur Sh {Sv} Zc Bd The NME uses a standard setup with 512 Mbps and consists of long integrations on a strong source 4C39.25. There is no phase referencing section in this experiment. Three ftp tests are scheduled: ~11:24 UT (scan 3, 4 sec, 4C39.25) ~12:17 UT (scan 9, 4 sec, 4C39.25) ~13:18 UT (scan 16, 4 sec, 4C39.25) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Station Zc reaches its elevation limit and thus is down during the last 3 scans. 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) 4C39.25 67.5 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.
