Source Setup file Frequency sets Observing hours (duplicates not shown) Scan Baseline EFFECT OF SOLAR CORONA 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) M87 16.1 G25.65 89.6 W49N 99.4 DOPPDUMM 94.5 J1642+3948 71.5 J1751+0939 80.1 J1828-0530 88.2 J1905+0952 98.3 J2136+0041 135.5 J2202+4216 128.7 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
