GENERAL X-band experiment, observed on 1 November 2015. ER038 contains 8 x 16MHz bands and 2 x polarisations, each with 32 frequency points. 3C454.3 was used as the fringe-finder
14 stations scheduled. /// ERIVAL 0.84 /// ERISTAR 0.84 /// ERICOMM The ERI* value takes into account that:
- IR has no data.
- WB missed the last scan.
- NT missed the first scan.
- SV recorded scans 1 - 47 in RCP only.
The ERI value also takes into account losses that are outside the station's control, of which there were none for this experiment.
/// POSSM_AUTOCORR Each scan plotted separately, all stations. Some RFI spikes. Looks like UR IF5L is dead. /// VPLOT_UNCAL Full-experiment for Ef-* baselines, no calibration applied. A 1.5 minute plot-averaging was used. /// POSSM_UNCAL Scalar averaged Ef-* baselines, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet. UR IF5L is dead... SH IF1L & 2L look low.. /// POSSM_CPOL NA /// TSYS TY1 table, each IF/pol on a separate plot. /// GAIN Gain amplitude from CL2 table. ZC L & R are diff... /// FRING_PHAS CL3 station phase solutions -- CL3 = CL2+SN2, thus also includes the initial amplitude/parallactic angle calibration from CL2 and the fringe solutions from SN2. /// FRING_DELAY SN2 station delay solutions for the fringed sources, each IF/pol on a separate plot. /// FRING_RATE SN2 station rate solutions. /// BANDPASS Bandpass table 1. 3C454.3 used for bandpass calibration. Some more edge channel flagging may be beneficial. /// VPLOT_CAL Full-experiment for Ef-* baselines, calibrated with CL3. A 1.5 minute plot-averaging was used. /// POSSM_CAL Ef-* 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. /// IMAPN Naturally weighted dirty maps of phase-referenced sources. Some sources not in the phase centre... /// IMAPU Uniformly weighted dirty maps of phase-referenced sources. /// CALIB_PHAS1 Plots of post-SPLIT tables SN1 for the sources that have been individually fringed. /// CALIB_AMP2 As above, but for the post-SPLIT table SN2. /// SENS CL4 gain-amp. self-cal hasn't really fixed L & R discrepancy... /// CLPHS Separate files per (fringed) source, showing closure phase plots for all the triangles. Only stokes=I shown. /// VPLOT_MODEL For each (fringed) source, plots of amp/phase on Ef-* baselines, calibrated with (post-SPLIT) table CL3, with a model-line overplotted. /// UVCOV For each source, a plot of the u-v coverage. Some targets have higher amplitudes on longer baselines, which is impossible, suggestion calibration should be improved. /// UVPLT For each source, a plot of amp vs. |uv| distance. /// ICLN For each source, a CLEAN map resulting from the automated fringing and self-cal iterations (or phase-referencing) in the pipeline script.
