S/X band network monitoring experiment, observed on 17 Jun 2009. Data rate was 256 Mbps (8 X 8 MHz subbands, RCP polarization, 2 bit sampling at the EVN stations, 1bit sampling at Kunming). The source 4C 39.25, 1156+295, and OQ208 were observed. The data were correlated in two passes. One is for S band data. The other is for X band data. Here, it is the S-band pypeline result.
8 stations participated. It is the first time for the Kunming 40m radio telescope to participate the EVN experiment. The first fringes to the Kuming telescope were successsfully deteced at S band. Yebes did not participate the observations due to failure of the H-maser. Noto had an unlocked BBC.
The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was
ERI = 0.75 . ERI* = 0.75 .

Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Mc: Strong RFI in IF 1 and 4.
plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase
against time
Comments.
Wb: no fringes because TADUmax can only sum either S or X band signal for the moment. Here, only the X band signal was selected.

TSYS against time
Comments.
Km: Less Tsys data since the "tpicd" monitoring data were not available and no gain curve in the antab file.
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).

Angle correction).

SOINT=0.5 minute. Ef: reference antenna. Nt: no solutions in IF 3R.
