CRF-DS8 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2003 Sep 4 (DOY 247) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crfds8.skd Nominal Start: 15:00 U.T. on 2003 Sep 4 (DOY 247) first observation at 15:00 U.T. on 0008-264 Ho-Pa Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 15:00 U.T. on 2003 Sep 5 (DOY 248) last observation at 15:03 U.T. on 2226-411 Ho-Pa Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code HOBART26 H 0.7 257 PARKES P 2.4 257 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 257 Total number of scans in the schedule: 257 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere. There are 30 new (never observed) sources; the remainder are ICRF 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) = 6.8 Min = 3.0 Max = 14.5 (Baseline Ho-Pa on 0405-385) RMS = 2.5 Total time: 1446 minutes ( 24.1 hours).
