General Comments. ( Brief data summary and scan listing )
EY023 is a 1.6-GHz experiment to observe MrK 590 on 16 October 2016. It used 15 EVN stations and a setup of 1 x 16 MHz IF. The post correlasion was one with 64 frequency points by using the software correlator. In the pipelining Ef was used as the reference station. 3C84, J021612-0105, and J021605-0118 were both fringe-finder and bandpass calibrator. The target source was phase-referenced by using solutions from J021605-0118.

The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was ERI = (Ef=1, Mc=1, Sh=1, T6=1, Ur=0, Tr=1, Sv=1, Zc=1, Bd=1, Hh=1, Sr=0, Jb=1, Wb=1, O8=0.99, Ro=1) 0.74 . ERI* = 0.74 .

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations. Several RFIs.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against time
Comments.
Full-experiment on Ef-* baselines, no calibration applied. A 1.5-minute plot-averaging was used.

Plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Scalar averaged Ef-* baselines, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet. Some RFIs.

The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand correlations against frequency channel (not available)
Comments.
Scalar averaged Ef-* baselines for LR, each scan plotted separately. No calibration applied yet.

TSYS against time
Comments.
TY1 table.

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. Proper solutions found at all stations.

Fringe-fit rate solutions
Comments.
SN2 station rate solutions.

Telescope bandpasses
Comments.
Bandpass table 1.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against time (a priori amplitude calibration and fringe-fit solutions applied).
Comments.
Full-experiment for Ef-* baselines, calibrated with CL3.

Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency channel
Comments.
Ef-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1.
