The last 1.5 hours of this schedule are *dedicated to tests of the new VLBA 24GHz continuum setup (part 2) and an NH3 *spectral line setup (part 3). * *Part 1: *------- *Part 1 consists of long integrations on the strong calibrator 3C454.3 and a *few other strong sources as well as several ftp-fringe tests and a test of *fast phase-referencing. *In addition to the ftp fringe-tests on the usual VLBA fringe finders 3C345 *and 3C454.3, ftp fringe-tests are scheduled on sources from the RRFID catalog *that are strong at long baselines (2251+158=3C454.3, 0202+319) and on the H2O *maser sources U Her and R Cas. The data transfers are scheduled to begin at *~13:39 (8 sec, 3C345, without Sh) *~14:07 (8 sec, UHER, without Sh) *~14:55 (16 sec, RCAS) *~15:51 (16 sec, 3C454.3) *~16:45 (16 sec, 3C454.3) *~17:16 (16 sec, 0202+319) * *Part 2+3: *--------- *In parts 2 and 3, we check the continuum performance of those stations that *can observe at the new VBLA 24GHz continuum band and reach the ammonia lines *at 23.5-24GHz. As a test of the spectral line setup, the position of a known *NH3(3,3) maser source in W51 (Zhang & Ho 1991, ApJ 373, L13) is observed in *part 3. * * *Please note that this NME contains three frequency setups: *- the usual 22GHz centered on the H2O line *- the new 24GHz VLBA setup *- a 24GHz setup for observing NH3 lines * *Please make sure that the autoftp is set up correctly. * *@Cm: as a complement to the tests in N08K3, it may be useful to transmit the * upper IFs/subbands of N08K4 (H2O maser line, NH3(3,3) line). * *Good luck! * *Stefanie * *------------------------- end ------------------------- * target_correlator = JIVE; * * integr_time : 2.000 s * number_channels: 16 * number_antenna : 9 * cross_polarize : Yes * weight_func : UNIFORM * distrib_medium : DAT * source_pos_cat : STANDARD * distribute_to : * Stefanie Muehle * enddef; *------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $MODE; * def nme.1cm; ref $PROCEDURES = Mode_01; ref $FREQ = 22220.08MHz8x8MHz:Cm:Nt:Sh:Mh:Ys; ref $FREQ = 22220.08MHz8x8MHz#02:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@21680MHzDPolNoTone:Cm; ref $IF = LO@22080MHzDPolNoTone:Ef; ref $IF = LO@21880MHzDPolNoTone:Jb; ref $IF = LO@21900MHzDPolNoTone:On; ref $IF = LO@21964MHzDPolNoTone:Mc; ref $IF = LO@21389MHzDPolNoTone:Nt; ref $IF = LO@21600MHzDPolNoTone:Sh; ref $IF = LO@21480MHzDPolNoTone:Mh; ref $IF = LO@21500MHzDPolNoTone:Ys; ref $BBC = 8BBCs:Cm:Nt:Sh:Mh; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#02:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#03:Ys; ref $TRACKS = MKIV.8Ch2bit1to2:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Nt:Sh:Mh:Ys; * ref $HEAD_POS = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $ROLL = NoRoll:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Nt:Sh:Mh:Ys; * ref $PASS_ORDER = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $PHASE_CAL_DETECT = NoDetect:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Nt:Sh:Mh:Ys; enddef; * def vlba.24ghz; ref $PROCEDURES = Mode_02; ref $FREQ = 23788.49MHz8x8MHz:Cm:Ys; ref $FREQ = 23788.49MHz8x8MHz#02:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@23000MHzDPolNoTone:Cm; ref $IF = LO@23400MHzDPolNoTone:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@23150MHzDPolNoTone:Ys; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#04:Cm; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#05:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#06:Ys; ref $TRACKS = MKIV.8Ch2bit1to2:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; * ref $HEAD_POS = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $ROLL = NoRoll:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; * ref $PASS_ORDER = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $PHASE_CAL_DETECT = NoDetect#02:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; enddef; * def nh3.low; ref $PROCEDURES = Mode_03; ref $FREQ = 23680.42MHz8x8MHz:Cm:Ys; ref $FREQ = 23680.42MHz8x8MHz#02:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@23000MHzDPolNoTone:Cm; ref $IF = LO@23400MHzDPolNoTone:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@23150MHzDPolNoTone:Ys; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#04:Cm; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#05:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#06:Ys; ref $TRACKS = MKIV.8Ch2bit1to2:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; * ref $HEAD_POS = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $ROLL = NoRoll:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; * ref $PASS_ORDER = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $PHASE_CAL_DETECT = NoDetect#03:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; enddef; * def Doppler@W51MASER; ref $PROCEDURES = Mode_04; ref $FREQ = 23685.84MHz8x8MHz:Cm:Ys; ref $FREQ = 23685.84MHz8x8MHz#02:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@23000MHzDPolNoTone:Cm; ref $IF = LO@23400MHzDPolNoTone:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $IF = LO@23150MHzDPolNoTone:Ys; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#04:Cm; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#05:Ef:Jb:On:Mc; ref $BBC = 8BBCs#06:Ys; ref $TRACKS = MKIV.8Ch2bit1to2:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; * ref $HEAD_POS = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $ROLL = NoRoll:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; * ref $PASS_ORDER = DiskVoid <= obsolete definition ref $PHASE_CAL_DETECT = NoDetect#03:Cm:Ef:Jb:On:Mc:Ys; enddef; *------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $STATION; * def Cm; ref $TAPELOG_OBS = CM; ref $CLOCK = CM; ref $SITE = CAMBG32M; ref $ANTENNA = CAMBG32M; ref $DAS = 1VLBA4
