Session Notes for R1 (Rapid Turnaround Monday) session: r1418 Prepared by C. Thomas, NVI, Inc./GSFC Refer to http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/program/descrip2010.html#r1 for the session purpose. =========================================================== ----- Parameter listing -------------------------------------- Experiment: R1418 Description IVS-R1 Scheduler: NASA Correlator: BONN Start: 2010-047-17:00:00 End: 2010-048-17:00:00 Current yyyyddd: 2010047 (2010.13) ( 15244 MJD, TUES 16FEB.) Greenwich sidereal time: 2:46: 0.00 (17: 0: 0 UT) Sun's RA and DEC: 22h 0.4m -12d 11.9 =========================================================== Important Station Information The Hobart-12m antenna was tagged along to this schedule file. The station only picked up 26 scans. Tigo was removed from this schedule file because when Tigo was tagged to this schedule file it only picked up 1 scan. Tigo had to be tagged along because it is unknown when the Tigo media will be released from Customs. =========================================================== 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 Hb Ho Kk Ma Ny Ts Wf Wz 1637+574 10047-170000| 50 50 43 43 43 43| 1011+250 10047-170224| 137 85 125 45 137| First observation for Hobart-12m 1324+224 10047-181543| 43 43 43 43 | =========================================================== Last observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Hb Ho Kk Ma Ny Ts Wf Wz 0748+126 10048-164834| 43 43 43 43 43 43| 0955+476 10048-165003| 174 156 46 174| 0912+029 10048-165142| 77 77 43 | 2229+695 10048-165456| 132 132 56 43 91 53| 1128+385 10048-165833| 86 86 43 43 43| =========================================================== SKED Summary from file ./r1418.skd for experiment R1418 (all scans with at least one subnet station) Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 9.9 Min = 0.0 Max = 144.0 (Baseline Kk-Ny on 1655+077) RMS = 14.7 Total time: 1440 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
