EUROPE-147 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.147) 2018 FEB.14-15 doy 045-046 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2018-044-1800 UT Nominal end time: 2018-045-1800 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS (9) ====================== Bd=BADARY Sm=CRIMEA 6a=DSS65A Mh=METSAHOV Nt=NOTO Ny=NYALES20 On=ONSALA60 Wz=WETTZELL Ys=YEBES40M Purpose ======= The purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their evolution in the southern part of the European geodetic VLBI network with the highest precision possible. Schedule ======== The schedule was optimized for local sky coverage. Scans are scheduled to have scan length purely according to SNR limits. The sky coverage for all stations were optimized. The minimum SNR on all baselines at X/S-band are set to 25/24. Comment ======= There are no observations for Wettzell from 18:20 U.T. to 19:40 U.T. Wettzell will participate in the intensive session during this 1.5 hour period.
