COVER INFORMATION Station: HART (Code Hh ) Experiment: Network Monitoring Experiment Exp. Code: N13L2 Schedule Version: 1.00 Processed by SCHED version: 10.20 Release of about July 12, 2012 PI: Ciriaco Goddi Address: JIVE Postbus 2 7990 AA Dwingeloo The Netherlands Phone: +31-521-596548 EMAIL: goddi@jive.nl Fax: Phone during observation: +31-521-596548 Observing mode: Notes: 18cm NME for session 2/2013 512 Mbps, 2-bit sampling, 8 MHz filters Send the disk pack by express to JIVE DBBC testing data from On, Hh, Nt, Mc, Tr, Jb are expected. COVER LETTER: Dear EVN friends, This is the schedule for the 18cm NME on June 7 2013, involving 13 antennas: Eb Wb Jb1 On25 Mc Nt Tr Sv Zc Bd Ur Sh Hh. The NME uses a standard setup with 512 Mbps and consists of 2 phase-referencing cycles on strong calibrators (DA193 and 0528+134) with continuum sources as targets (J0552+3754 and J0539+1433). *No* ftp tests are scheduled (the NME comes after all the user experiments in L-band). Ciriaco Schedule for HART (Code Hh ) Page 2 Network Monitoring Experiment UP: D => Below limits; H => Below horizon mask; W => still slewing at end; blank => Up. Early: Seconds between end of slew and start. Dwell: On source seconds. Disk: GBytes recorded to this point. TPStart: Recording start time. Frequencies are LO sum (band edge). SYNC: Time correlator is expected to sync up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start UT Source Start / Stop Early Disk TPStart Stop UT LST EL AZ HA UP ParA Dwell GBytes SYNC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Fri 7 Jun 2013 Day 158 --- Next scan frequencies: 1634.49 1634.49 1634.49 1634.49 1650.49 1650.49 1650.49 1650.49 1666.49 1666.49 1666.49 1666.49 1682.49 1682.49 1682.49 1682.49 Next BBC frequencies: 124.49 124.49 124.49 124.49 140.49 140.49 140.49 140.49 156.49 156.49 156.49 156.49 172.49 172.49 172.49 172.49 Next scan bandwidths: 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 07 05 00 0528+134 01 59 07 25.0 59.1 -3.5 0.0 0 0 07 05 00 07 07 30 --- 02 01 38 25.5 58.7 -3.5 0.0 150 10 07 05 04 07 08 30 J0539+1433 02 02 38 23.3 59.1 -3.6 0.0 29 10 07 08 30 07 14 30 =0536+145 02 08 39 24.5 58.1 -3.5 0.0 360 33 07 08 34 07 15 30 0528+134 02 09 39 27.0 57.4 -3.4 0.0 29 33 07 15 30 07 18 00 --- 02 12 09 27.5 56.9 -3.3 0.0 150 43 07 15 34 07 19 00 J0539+1433 02 13 10 25.4 57.4 -3.5 0.0 29 43 07 19 00 07 25 00 =0536+145 02 19 11 26.5 56.3 -3.4 0.0 360 66 07 19 04 07 26 00 0528+134 02 20 11 29.0 55.5 -3.2 0.0 29 66 07 26 00 07 28 30 --- 02 22 41 29.4 55.1 -3.2 0.0 150 75 07 26 04 07 29 30 J0539+1433 02 23 41 27.3 55.6 -3.3 0.0 29 75 07 29 30 07 35 30 =0536+145 02 29 42 28.4 54.5 -3.2 0.0 360 99 07 29 34 07 36 30 0528+134 02 30 42 30.9 53.6 -3.0 0.0 29 99 07 36 30 07 39 00 --- 02 33 13 31.4 53.1 -3.0 0.0 150 108 07 36 34 07 40 00 J0539+1433 02 34 13 29.3 53.7 -3.1 0.0 29 108 07 40 00 07 46 00 =0536+145 02 40 14 30.3 52.5 -3.0 0.0 360 132 07 40 04 07 47 00 0528+134 02 41 14 32.8 51.5 -2.8 0.0 29 132 07 47 00 07 49 30 --- 02 43 45 33.2 51.0 -2.8 0.0 150 141 07 47 04 07 50 30 J0539+1433 02 44 45 31.1 51.7 -2.9 0.0 29 141 07 50 30 07 56 30 =0536+145 02 50 46 32.2 50.5 -2.8 0.0 360 165 07 50 34 07 57 30 0528+134 02 51 46 34.6 49.4 -2.7 0.0 29 165 07 57 30 08 00 00 --- 02 54 16 35.0 48.8 -2.6 0.0 150 174 07 57 34 SETUP FILE INFORMATION: NOTE: If DOPPLER, FREQ, or BW were used, see the individual scans for the final BBC settings. ======== Setup file: sess213.L512 Matching groups in /aps3/sched10.2/catalogs/freq.dat: hh18cm Values confirmed by E-mail Jonathan Quick 291100 (CR) Setup group: 11 Station: HART Total bit rate: 512 Format: MARK5B Bits per sample: 2 Sample rate: 16.000 Number of channels: 16 DBE type: Speedup factor: 1.00 Disk used to record data. 1st LO= 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 1510.00 Net SB= L L U U L L U U L L U U L L U U Pol. = RCP LCP RCP LCP RCP LCP RCP LCP RCP LCP RCP LCP RCP LCP RCP LCP BBC = 2 1 2 1 4 3 4 3 6 5 6 5 8 7 8 7 BBC SB= L L U U L L U U L L U U L L U U IF = 2N 1N 2N 1N 2N 1N 2N 1N 2N 1N 2N 1N 2N 1N 2N 1N The following frequency sets based on these setups were used.

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) 0528+134 11.6 J0539+1433 12.2 J0552+3754 18.7 DA193 20.5 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.
