General Comments.
(
Brief data summary
and
scan listing
)
N12C1 had 14 stations (including Od=On with DBBC), 16 x 8 MHz IFs, 4 polarizations, and used 16 frequency points per IF/pol, with 2s integrations. The SOLINT was automatically set at 2.53 min. Ef was used as the reference station. The target source 'J0522+1415' was calibrated using the phase-reference source '0528+134'. The fringe-finder and bandpass calibrator was '0528+134'.
The EVN reliability indicator (ERI) for this experiment was
ERI = 0.996 . ERI* = 0.996 .
Scan 1 (10 min) of Mc. Sv has anomalously low S/N for Lcp, but this cannot be considered a loss.
Plots of the autocorrelations
Comments.
Each scan plotted separately, all stations.
plots of the uncalibrated amplitude and phase
against time
Comments.
Full-experiment for Ef-* baselines, no calibration applied. A 2-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.
The uncalibrated amplitude and phase of the crosshand
correlations against frequency channel
Comments.
TSYS against time
Comments.
TY1 table, each IF/pol on a separate plot.
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.
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.
Fringe-fit delay solutions
Comments.
SN2 station delay solutions for the fringed sources, each IF/pol on a separate plot.
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. The 2-min plot-averaging still applied.
Calibrated amplitude and phase against frequency
channel
Comments.
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.
