CSV2016: Radio pointing offsets of DASH345/BAND8 (2016-09-15)†

Tasks†

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

Preparations†

1. 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}"
   -rw-r--r-- 1 astecntl astctl 771 Sep 10 09:38 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/BAND8 -> BAND8.160910
   -rw-r--r-- 1 astecntl astctl 769 Sep 10 09:32 /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/DASH3 -> DASH3.160910

   • Check all subref parameters (dx,dy,dz,dtx,dty,dtz) are zero
   • Check Aspirin is working in the "WIND" mode
2. 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

1. Repeat cross scans toward Saturn and shots of a star one after the other
2. Data reduction
   • Still under preparation
