CSV2016: Subref tilt offsets of DASH345/BAND8 (2016-08-31)†

Tasks†

• Subref tilt 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}"
   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 ON" mode
2. Tuning at EL=60.0 deg
   • Tuning of DASH345/BAND8 for continuum observations
   • Don't forget to record weather conditions

Subref tilt offsets in DASH345/BAND8†

1. Repeat cross scans toward Saturn with various (dtx,dty)
   • Pointing toward Saturn

     BAND8:   stx5b8.start
     DASH345: stx5d3.start

   • Repeat cross scans toward Saturn using the batch mode

     BAND8:   ststb8.list (NOT stsbb8.list)
     DASH345: ststd3.list (NOT stsbd3.list)

     • Don't forget to turn on auto-pointing in the QLOOKC GUI
     • Set AVERAGE = 1 in the QLOOKC GUI
2. Data reduction
   • Still under preparation

Information†

• Observers: Kawamura, Ashitagawa
• Site: Mitaka
• Weather conditions (2016-08-30T23:30)

  Temperature: -4.11 C
  Humidity: 0.44 hPa
  Wind: 6.75 m/s (266 deg)
  220GHz opacity: 0.0452

• Record which kisa files are used for DASH345 and BAND8

[aste16@aste-1s aste16]$ 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 -->OK
• Check Aspirin is working in the "WIND ON" mode

  [asteobs@aste-1c ~]$ /cosmos3/naoj/bin/windsw on
  Aspirin correction for wind is ON
