M band Network Monitoring Experiment, observed on 13 June 2008. 9 stations participated.
This is the pipeline for N08M2_1_1
Two different recording modes were used:
N08M2_1_1 is a mode similar to user experiments GB064A-D : (2 X 16 MHz subbands, dual polarization, two bit sampling)
Observed sources: "DA193"as a fringe finder, "4C39.25" as a phase calibrator and "J0916+3854" as a target source. Duration = 2 hours
N08M2_2_1 is a 5cm OH setup ((16 X 4 MHz subbands, dual polarization, two-bit sampling)
Sources: "3C273" as fringe finder and phase calibrator and "1222+037" as a target source. Duration=2 hours 45 minutes
The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was
ERI = 0.94 . ERI* = 0.94 .
(For this part of the experiment only - CM=1.0, JB=0.88, EF=1.0, ON=1.0, MC=1.0, NT=0.625, TR=1.0, HH=1.0, WB=1.0)

TSYS against time

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.
SEFDs consistent with the EVN Status Table, MC slightly better.

Angle correction).
