General Comments.
(
Brief data summary
and
scan listing
)
EM081A had 3 stations, Mc, Mh and Ys. On was also scheduled, but the data was not correlated, as it used the wrong observing setup.In the pipelining, the target sources were treated as phase-referenced sources and not directly fringed. J1255-0804 was phase referenced by J1256-0547. The SOLINT was set automatically at a representative length of a reference-source scan in a phase-reference cycle (240s judging from the schedule). Mc was used as the reference station.
The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was
ERI = 0,625 . ERI* = 0.625 .
0.625 (losses include Ys)
Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations.
plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase
against time
Comments.
Full-experiment for Mc-* baselines, no calibration applied.
Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase
against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged Mc-* baselines, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet.
The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand
correlations against frequency channel

Comments.
Scalar averaged Mc-* baselines for LR, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet.
TSYS against time
Comments.
TY1 table, each IF/pol on a separate plot.
Telescope sensitivities
from the a priori TSYS and Gain
curves (the square of this number gives the antenna noise (SEFD) in Jy - the
smaller the better).
Comments.
Gain amplitude from CL2 table.
Fringe-fit phase solutions
(including Parallactic
Angle correction).
Comments.
CL3 station phase solutions -- CL3 = CL2+SN2, thus also includes the initial amplitude/parallactic angle calibration from CL2 and the fringe solutions from SN2.
Fringe-fit delay solutions
Comments.
SN2 station delay solutions for the fringed sources, each IF/pol on a separate plot.
Fringe-fit rate solutions
Comments.
SN2 station rate solutions.
Telescope bandpasses
Comments.
Bandpass table 1. J1256-0547 were used for bandpass calibration.
Calibrated amplitude and phase against time
(a
priori amplitude calibration and fringe-fit solutions applied).
Comments.
Full-experiment for Mc-* baselines, calibrated with CL3.
Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency
channel
Comments.
Mc-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1. The amp and phase plots self-scale, not necessarily going down to 0 in the case of the amps.
