CRF-S1 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2004 January 13 (DOY 13) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crfs1.skd Nominal Start: 12:00 U.T. on 2004 January 13 (DOY 13) first observation at 12:00 U.T. on 0037-593 Ho-Pa Duration: 33 hours; gap 014/0455 - 014/1100 U.T. Nominal Stop: 21:00 U.T. on 2004 January 14 (DOY 14) last observation at 20:57 U.T. on 1420-679 Ho-Pa Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of scans Occupation Code HOBART26 H 0.9 211 PARKES P 3.7 211 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 211 Total number of scans in the schedule: 211 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 ================== There is a 6-hr gap 014/0455 - 014/1100 when PARKES is doing NASA tracking. 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) = 6.1 Min = .0 Max = 15.9 (Baseline Ho-Pa on 1034-293) RMS = 3.2 Total time: 1979 minutes ( 33.0 hours).
