General Comments.
(
Brief data summary
and
scan listing
)
The SOLINT was set at 1.0 min. Ef was used as reference station. The fringe-finder and bandpass calibrator were 'OQ208', 'J1159+2914'.
The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was
ERI = 0.98 . ERI* = 0.98 .
(EF=1, WB=1, JB=1, O8=0.88, MC=0.99, NT=1, TR=1, YS=1, SH=1, HH=1, SV=1, ZC=1, BD=1).
Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations. Some RFIs at Zc.
plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase
against time
Comments.
Full-experiment for Ef-* and Mc-* baselines, no calibration applied.
Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase
against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged Ef-* and 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 Ef-* and 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. Jump in Tr.
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. Jump in Tr.
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. OQ208 and J1159+2914 were used for bandpass calibration.
Calibrated amplitude and phase against time
(a
priori amplitude calibration and fringe-fit solutions applied).
Comments.
Full-experiment for Ef-* and Mc-* baselines, calibrated with CL3.
Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency
channel
Comments.
Ef-* and Mc-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1. The amp and phaseplots self-scale, not necessarily going down to 0 in the case of the amps. MC IF1 has some problem.
