CSV2016: Radio pointing offsets of DASH345/BAND8 (2016-09-07)

CSV2016: Radio pointing offsets of DASH345/BAND8 (2016-09-07)†

↑

Tasks†

220GHz opacity <= 0.07 -> Radio pointing offsets in BAND8
220GHz opacity > 0.07 -> Radio pointing offsets in DASH345

↑

Preparations†

Basic checks

Record which kisa files are used for DASH345 and BAND8

aste16@aste-ms1: ssh astecntl@aste-1c "ls -l /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/{DASH3,BAND8}"
lrwxrwxrwx 1 astecntl astctl 12 Jun  3  2015 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/BAND8 -> BAND8.150603
lrwxrwxrwx 1 astecntl astctl 12 Jun  1  2015 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/DASH3 -> DASH3.150601

Check all subref parameters (dx,dy,dz,dtx,dty,dtz) are zero
Check Aspirin is working in the "WIND" mode

Tuning at EL=60.0 deg
- Tuning of DASH345/BAND8 for continuum observations
- Don't forget to record weather conditions

Radio pointing offsets of DASH345/BAND8†

Its instruction is HERE

Repeat cross scans toward Saturn and shots of a star one after the other
Data reduction
- Still under preparation

↑

Information†

Observers: Izumi
Site: Mitaka

Weather conditions (2016-09-06T23:40)

Temperature: -3.25 C
Humidity: 0.47 hPa
Wind: 3.91 m/s (290 deg)
220GHz opacity: 0.0475

=> 220GHz opacity <= 0.07 -> Radio pointing offsets in BAND8
