General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
EL052, L-band experiment in regular session II/2015. Participating telescopes were Badary, Effelsberg, Hartebeesthoek, Jodrell Bank (Lovell Telescope), Medicina, Onsala (25m), Svetloe, Tianma (65m), Torun, Westerbork, Zelenchukskaya

The following subbands were flagged in this pipeline because they were corrupt/highly unstable due to strong RFI or for another reason: Tr IF6; Mc:IF1-2, IF8, Wb: IF2-3. Some additional flagging might help the data processing/imaging. The 18cm receiver in Noto still not fixed; Sardinia operators on strike.

The target 2MASXJ1232 was phase-referenced to J1233-1025. The phase-reference check source was J1232-1015. Had to use nominal SEFDs for Jb1, Bd, Sv, Zc. Large amplitude scaling factors (based on initial pipeline results) were applied to Jb1, Bd and T6, implying that Jb1/Bd initial SEFD guesses, as well as the calibration information provided for Tianma65m were wrong in the first version of the antab file.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.61 . ERI* = 0.71 . (Bd=1, Ef=1, Hh=1, Jb2=0.63/1, Mc=0.63/1, Nt=0, On=1, Sr=0, Sv=1, T6=1, Tr=0.88/1, Wb=0.75/1, Zc=1)
