CRF-14 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2002 June 4 (DOY 155) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crf14.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on June 4 (DOY 155) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 0826-373 Ft-Hh first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 2329-384 45-Ho-Kk-Pa Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on June 5 (DOY 156) last observation at 17:21 U.T. on 1600-445 45-Hh last observation at 17:22 U.T. on 0220-349 Ft-Ho last observation at 17:28 U.T. on 2326-477 Kk-Pa Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of obs Occupation Code DSS45 T 0.6 288 FORTLEZA F 2.0 116 HARTRAO J 0.5 143 HOBART26 H 2.7 271 KOKEE K 0.5 173 PARKES64 P 1.7 249 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 620 Total number of scans in the schedule: 249 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere by observing ICRF Defining and Candidate sources. Schedule ======== This is a new schedule generated by Alan Fey using sked. Correlation =========== This experiment will be correlated at the WACO Correlator. Tapes should be shipped to Washington, DC as soon after the experiment as practical. Special procedures ================== None. Summary ======= The following listing is a summary of the observations in this schedule. Average number of obs. per baseline per source (normalized by up-time) = 2.0 Min = .0 Max = 13.2 (Baseline Kk-Pa on 1936-623) RMS = 2.4 Total time: 1442 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
