EUROPE-131 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.130) 2014 Sep.01-02 doy 244-245 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2014-244-1200 UT Nominal end time: 2014-245-1200 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== Sm=CRIMEA 6a=DSS65A Eb=EFLSBERG Ny=NYALES20 Wz=WETTZELL Ys=YEBES40M Purpose ======= The purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their evolution in the southern part of the European geodetic VLBI network with the highest precision possible. Schedule ======== The schedule was optimized for local sky coverage. Scans are scheduled to have scan length purely according to SNR limits. The sky coverage for all stations were optimized. The minimum SNR on all baselines is at X band and at S band set to 25. Comment ======= DSS6a is scheduled in tag-along mode Session Notes for session: eur131 =========================================================== Experiment: EUR131 Description EUROPE-131 Scheduler: IGG/am Correlator: BONN Start: 2014-244-12:00:00 End: 2014-245-12:00:01 Current yyyyddd: 2014244 (2014.67) ( 16902 MJD, MON. 1SEP.) =========================================================== First observations Observation listing from file eur131.skd for experiment EUR131 Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Sm 6a Eb Ny Wz Ys OJ287 14244-120000| 46 18 46 30 41| 0642+449 14244-120332| 48 18 18 48 29 38| Last observations NRAO512 14245-115137| 121 19 18 121 85 110| 1803+784 14245-115531| 71 18 71 43 57| 0133+476 14245-115742| 33 31 33| =========================================================== Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 5.6 Min = 0.0 Max = 626.1 (Baseline 6a-Ny on 1749+096) RMS = 20.7 Total time: 1438 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
