EUROPE-123 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.123) 2013 May 06-07 doy 126-127 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2013-126-1200 UT Nominal end time: 2013-127-1200 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== Bd BADARY Sv SVETLEO Ma MATERA On ONSALA60 Nt NOTO Ny NYALES20 Wz WETTZELL Zc ZELENCHK 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 is at X band and at S band set to 25.
