EUROPE-143 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.142) 2016 Sep.05-06 doy 249-250 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2016-249-1200 UT Nominal end time: 2016-250-1200 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS (11+1) ====================== Bd=BADARY Sm=CRIMEA 6a=DSS65A Mc=MEDICINA Nt=NOTO Ny=NYALES20 On=ONSALA60 Sv=SVETLOE (Wn=WETTZ13N) Wz=WETTZELL Ys=YEBES40M Zc=ZELENCHK 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 at X/S-band are set to 25/23. Comment ======= Wn (TWIN Wettzell North) was scheduled in tag-along mode. 6a have no observations from 250-0630 to 250-1200 Session Notes for session: eur143 =========================================================== Experiment: EUR143 Description EUROPE-143 Scheduler: IGG/am Correlator: BONN Start: 2016-249-12:00:00 End: 2016-250-12:00:01 Current yyyyddd: 2016249 (2016.68) ( 17637 MJD, MON. 5SEP.) =========================================================== First observations Observation listing from file eur143.skd for experiment EUR143 Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Bd Sm 6a Mc Nt Ny On Sv Wn Wz Ys Zc 1418+546 16249-120000| 39 86 15 66 40 65 86 27 46 49 65 27| 1351-018 16249-120642| 152 355 40 262 167 289 355 101 217 194 264 105| Last observations name yyddd-hhmmss Bd Sm 6a Mc Nt Ny On Sv Wn Wz Ys Zc 3C418 16250-115340| 54 175 153 80 133 175 54 93 112 132 54| 1726+455 16250-115804| 69 41 33 37 69 15 45 26 33 15| =========================================================== Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 2.5 Min = 0.0 Max = 523.6 (Baseline 6a-Ny on 1749+096) RMS = 8.5 Total time: 1439 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
