Session Notes for R1 (Rapid Turnaround Monday) session: r1867 Prepared by C. Thomas, NVI, Inc./GSFC Refer to http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/program/descrip2018.html#r1 for the session purpose. =========================================================== ----- Parameter listing -------------------------------------- Experiment: R1867 Description IVS-R1 Scheduler: NASA Correlator: BONN Start: 2018-309-17:00:00 End: 2018-310-17:00:00 Current yyyyddd: 2018309 (2018.85) ( 18428 MJD, MON. 5NOV.) Greenwich sidereal time: 19:59:30 (17:00:00 UT) Sun's RA and DEC: 14h 43.1m -15d 48.4 =========================================================== Important Station Information Matera was tagged along to this schedule file. Kokee's SEFDs were increased to 6000 for X-band and 1500 for S-band because Kokee will be observing with a warm receiver. =========================================================== There are no observations for Kokee and Wettzell from 18:15 U.T. to 19:45 U.T. Kokee and Wettzell will participate in the intensive session during this period. =========================================================== First observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Ft Ht Is Ke Kk Ma Ny Kv Wn Wz Yg 0529+483 18309-170000| 259 296 215 300 232 300 147 293| 1936-155 18309-170000| 69 128 128 | =========================================================== Last observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Ft Ht Is Ke Kk Ma Ny Kv Wn Wz Yg 2355-106 18310-165336| 241 241| 1936-155 18310-165340| 59 117 117 | 2000+472 18310-165437| 141 141 | 1741-038 18310-165637| 198 43 198 64 64 | NRAO150 18310-165804| 111 111 | 1538+149 18310-165817| 98 98 | 1831-711 18310-165824| 91 91| 1053+704 18310-165836| 79 79 | =========================================================== SKED Summary from file ./r1867.skd for experiment R1867 (all scans with at least one subnet station) Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 4.7 Min = 0.0 Max = 187.8 (Baseline Ft-Ny on 1741-038) RMS = 11.6 Total time: 1440 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
