CRF-24 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2003 December 08 (DOY 342) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crf24.skd Nominal Start: 14:00 U.T. on 2003 December 08 (DOY 342) first observation at 14:00 U.T. on 1749+096 Ft-Hh-Nt Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 14:00 U.T. on 2003 December 09 (DOY 343) last observation at 13:52 U.T. on 2059+034 Ft-Hh-Nt Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code FORTLEZA F 2.7 81 HARTRAO J 1.1 115 NOTO S 0.8 102 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 242 Total number of scans in the schedule: 118 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere. 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) = 3.9 Min = .0 Max = 18.6 (Baseline Hh-Nt on 1749+096) RMS = 3.4 Total time: 1439 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
