General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
EVN L-band phase referencing experiment at 512 Mbps observed on 6 June 2005 (8 x 8MHz IFs, dual polarization, 2-bit sampling). Correlated with 32 spectral channels per IF.

Noto could not participate in this session because of an antenna problem.
Effelsberg MkIV formatter failed. Forced to record on tape in VLBA format. Only LCP data were recorded after UT 16:15. These LCP data were recorrelated with RCP data from other stations, so Eb-* 'RR' correlations after 16 UT are really 'LR' and should be flagged.
Because of the problem at Effelsberg, data were correlated in separate passes for each polarization. Subsequently the data were combined using AIPS task VBGLU, after averaging to 2 second integration times.
Torun used Rubidium frequency standard for this experiment.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = 0.67 . ERI* = 0.67 . (JB=1, WB=1, EF=0.5, ON=1, MC=1, TR=0.87, SH=1, UR=1, CM=0.9, NT=0)

Cm has limited bandwidth due to microwave link - good data are in IFs 4 and 5.

Comments.
Eb: Tsys values for second half of experiment were included after making this plot (second run of ANTAB required); the final pipeline tables include all calibration data. (No data for RCP after 15 UT).

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).
