CSV2016: Subref position offsets of DASH345 (2016-08-24)†

Tasks†

• 220GHz opacity > 0.07 -> Subref position offsets in DASH345

Preparations†

1. Basic checks
   • UT2340
   • Record which kisa files are used for DASH345 and BAND8

   aste16@aste-ms1: ssh astecntl@aste-1c "ls -l /cosmos3/aste/etc/kisag/DASH3"
   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
     • OK
   • Check Aspirin is working in the "WIND ON" mode
     • wind off UT0002 ON
2. UT2341 Tuning at EL=60.0 deg
   • Tuning of DASH345/BAND8 for continuum observations
   • Don't forget to record weather conditions
     • OK

1. Pointing toward Saturn

• UT0007

  DASH345: stx5d3.start

• ddAz, ddEl= 3.0, -3.0

1. Z-axis adjustment using Saturn

• UT0019

  DASH345: stsbd3z.start

  • Measurement and analysis for single-beam receivers
  • Add a resultant offset ddz to dz in the subref offset GUI (if |ddz| > 0.1 mm) &ref(): File not found: "ddz-201608240019.png" at page "Observing Log/2016-08-24";
  • ddz=0

Subref offset positions in DASH345/BAND8†

1. Repeat cross scans toward Saturn with various (dx,dy)
   • Repeat cross scans toward Saturn using the batch mode
   • UT0041

     DASH345: stsbd3.list

     • Don't forget to turn on auto-pointing in the QLOOKC GUI
     • OK, set average=1
   • UT0320
     • Stop after 24.stbd3a

• Weather conditions (2016-08-24UT03:20)

  Temperature: -1.00 C
  Humidity: 1.62 hPa
  Wind: 6.94 m/s (286 deg)
  220GHz opacity: 0.1470

• UT0324
  • Set az=-180, El=60, all free

1. Data reduction
   • Still under preparation
