COVER INFORMATION Station: TORUN (Code Tr ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N14M3 Schedule Version: 2.00 Processed by SCHED version: 11.00 Release of Feb. 15, 2013 PI: Gabriele Surcis Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596508 EMAIL: surcis@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596508 Observing mode: Notes: 5cm NME and 4 ftp fringe test for session 3/2014 (128 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 2 MHz filters) Please send the disk pack by express to JIVE COVER LETTER: This is the schedule for the 5cm NME and ftp fringe-test on 17 October 2014 involving 8 antennas: Eb Wb1 Jb2 On25 Nt Tr Ys Sr. The NME uses a standard setup with 128 Mbps. The schedule consists of: - long integrations on strong calibrators like DA193, J0927+3902 (4C39.25), and 3C345 for ftp-fringe tests; - linear polarization check using the polarized calibrators J0927+3902, 3C286, and 3C273; - D-terms check using the calibrators DA193 and 3C345; - and phase-referencing part with a continuum source (J1640+3946) as target. Three ftp-fringe tests are scheduled throughout the experiment: 09:09:58 (scan 2, 2 sec, DA193) 10:27:18 (scan 10, 2 sec, J0927+3902 ) 11:57:58 (scan 53, 2 sec, 3C345) Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. Thanks! Good luck with the session! Gabriele Schedule for TORUN (Code Tr ) Page 2 Network Monitoring Experiment UP: D => Below limits; H => Below horizon mask; W => still slewing at end; blank => Up.

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) DA193 113.6 J0927+3902 73.8 3C273 18.5 3C286 39.7 J1640+3946 66.2 3C345 66.6 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.
