SUR-02 (Southern Hemisphere Survey) 2003 March 04 (DOY 063) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: sur02.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on March 4 (DOY 063) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 0252-712 Ho-Hh Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on March 5 (DOY 064) last observation at 17:13 U.T. on 1129-580 Ho-Hh Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of obs Occupation Code HARTRAO J 1.3 92 HOBART26 H 3.8 92 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 92 Total number of scans in the schedule: 92 Purpose ======= Survey observations to determine the intensity of Southern Hemisphere ICRF sources for use in scheduling CRF experiments. 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) = 4.7 Min = 2.0 Max = 8.2 (Baseline Hh-Ho on 2109-811) RMS = 1.3 Total time: 1434 minutes ( 23.9 hours).
